My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Atlas 🌍

Your passport to adventure (no baggage fees).

Atlas is a 2-year-old Border Collie mix with striking amber eyes that look like he’s either reading your soul… or politely asking where you parked the car because he’s ready to go. At 33 pounds, he’s the perfect travel size — big enough for epic hikes, small enough to fit easily into road trips, hotel stays, campsites, and cozy couches.

True to his name, Atlas was built to explore. Weekend getaway? He’s packed. Mountain trail? Lead the way. Beach day? Obviously. He’s athletic, smart, and always up for whatever adventure is on the itinerary — but he’s just as happy being your co-pilot when the day winds down.

He has that classic Border Collie mix brilliance, paired with a calm, steady presence that makes him an incredible companion wherever life takes you. Basically, if dogs had travel blogs, Atlas would have sponsors.

✔ Neutered
✔ Microchipped
✔ Up to date on shots
✔ Healthy, happy, and ready to see the world

Looking for a dog who can go from five-star hotel vibes to campfire cuddles without missing a beat? Atlas is your guy. 🌄🐾✈️
