Meet Atticus 

Atticus is a happy-go-lucky young giant who has truly impressed everyone with his quick and smooth decompression. Within just four days, he was confidently introduced to multiple dogs and is already enjoying indoor tug-of-war play sessions with his canine friends!

During the day, Atticus is playful, upbeat, and full of classic puppy joy. When nighttime comes, he settles right into his crate without a peep, showing wonderful crate manners and an off-switch that many puppies take much longer to develop.

This energetic boy loves toys, happily chews on his Benebones, and has no destructive chewing habits. He enjoys couch cuddles and affection, though he’s still learning that snuggling next to you is better than being right in your face . Leash skills and polite greetings are a work in progress, as Atticus is still mastering the art of not jumping—but he’s learning quickly and is eager to please!

Potty training is going very well. While he was reported to mark in the shelter, consistent potty breaks have made a big difference. Atticus has had no indoor marking, no overnight accidents, and no issues while his foster is away at work. He may mark over other dogs’ spots outside only, which is very manageable. Best of all—no food aggression, no nighttime issues, and a fantastic attitude all around.

 Atticus will thrive in a home that:

• Can provide structure, training, and outlets for puppy energy


• Has children 10 years and older, as he’s still learning his size


• May include other playful dogs (he enjoys canine companionship!)


• Can commit to continued leash training and basic manners

He is suitable for first-time giant breed owners who are ready to learn alongside him and invest in positive training. A fenced yard will be a bonus but is not required with proper exercise and enrichment.

Atticus is a joyful, affectionate, and promising young giant who is already doing so many things right. With guidance, consistency, and love, he’s going to be an incredible companion. Could Atticus be the missing piece in your family?
