Atlas is a stunning all-white Border Collie with a magical resemblance to Falcor from The NeverEnding Story — soft, ethereal, and absolutely unforgettable. But Atlas isn’t just a pretty face. He’s a bright, adventurous soul who is ready to bond deeply with his person.
Atlas is vision and hearing impaired, and he navigates the world with heart, trust, and impressive adaptability. Once he learns his environment and your routines, he moves with confidence. He thrives on connection and looks to his human for guidance, making him an incredibly loyal companion. His special needs don’t slow him down — they simply make his bond with his person that much stronger.
This boy is active and loves to safely travel by your side. Whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood, a weekend adventure, or just running errands together, Atlas is happiest when he’s included. He enjoys exploring new places with his trusted human leading the way.
Atlas is also a certified kitty fan! His current best friend is a big cat, and he absolutely adores feline companions — as long as they’re kind and respectful with him. He has previously lived with other dogs, but because of his sensory challenges, he’ll need slow, thoughtful introductions to canine housemates to help him feel secure and successful.
Atlas would do best with:
• A patient, committed adopter who values building trust
• A stable home environment with clear routines
• Respectful feline friends (bonus points for big kitties!)
• Slow introductions to any resident dogs
• Someone who wants a devoted adventure buddy
Atlas may experience the world differently, but he loves fully and fiercely. If you’re ready for a loyal shadow, a gentle heart, and a little bit of magic in your life, Atlas is waiting to be your lucky dragon.
