Story
Location: Fresno, CA Say hi to Atlas! This cutie guy is about 8-10 months old and was found roaming the streets. No microchip, no owner has been found. The finder cannot keep him, as he is very much a puppy and tends to run over her little dogs. He is currently 35 lbs. We are guessing Atlas to be a blend of Dalmatian and Cattle dog, that equals adorable & sweet. Gets along great with other dogs, of course after a proper introduction. He is very shy and timid at first, once he warms up, he just wants to be near you. Atlas loves to run and his recall is pretty good. He enjoys learning things, is easy to train, he will let you dress him up, brush his teeth, clean his ears, and he is good at letting you know he needs to potty Stuffies are his favorite thing to destroy, otherwise he might get into other things laying around, he is still a puppy. Loves nice, hearty chews to keep him busy. Atlas is getting more comfortable with kisses and hugs. We don't think he was ever cuddled before, still somewhat of a foreign concept to him. good car rider Atlas will be neutered with his adoption. We do not know about kids or cats at this time. We think he would be fine with kiddo's over 9+ years old.

Story
How Godzilla Marie arrived: Godzilla Marie was brought in as a stray on November 29, 2025. Why Godzilla Marie is the one for you:Meet Godzilla Marie, a dog with a personality so big she is practically a Queen of the Monsters - the snuggle monsters, that is! Don't let the name fool you, the only thing she is looking to destroy is a bag of treats or a boring afternoon. She bonds with people almost instantly and is Godzilla-sized in her affection, often trying to climb into your lap for a massive cuddle session. While she may be deaf, she doesn't let that silence her spirit. She navigates the world with monstrous enthusiasm, responding beautifully to hand signals, body language and most importantly, snacks. Her deafness actually gives her a superpower because she isn't bothered by loud city noises or barking neighbors, keeping her focus entirely on her favorite person. She can be somewhat high-energy and jumpy when she is excited to go for a walk, but she is easily redirected with a tasty treat or a fun toy. Once she is on the move, she is a force of nature who loves to sniff every leaf and greet every new friend. This playful girl is a total socialite and has shown colossal friendliness toward other dogs. She has done great on buddy walks and loves the city-smashing fun of a trip to the dog park. At home, she is already crate trained and is a legend at not getting into things she shouldn't. Godzilla Marie thrives on play, structure and plenty of monster hugs. If you are ready for adventure with a dog who is larger than life, Godzilla Marie is ready to roar! When you come to meet her, please bring a leash and collar so you can take this joyful girl home and start your epic journey together. At SDHS:Godzilla Marie has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. She is now ready for her new home! Primary Color: White Secondary Color: Black Weight: 54 Age: 2yrs 5mths 3wks
