Story
Atlas is an F1b Aussiedoodle. He was born on December 8, 2022. He is fully grown and currently weighs approximately 32 pounds. He is up to date on vaccines and is microchipped. Atlas is a very smart and loving dog. He loves to run a play as much as he loves to snuggle. He loves people so much it’s hard to stay “off”, but knows that “off” means to get down. He knows commands “lay down”, “come”, “up”, “off”, “go get in your bed” (he‘s crate trained), “stay”, “go outside”, and “come inside”. Atlas needs a new home because he and our senior dog do not get along. Atlas is trained to walk with a gentle leader. Atlas does not have experience with children under age 10, and currently enjoys rough housing with our teenagers. For more information please contact us. Rehoming fee negotiable for the right forever home.
