Story
Atlas-t, Your Loyal Companion has arrived!
Atlas is a gentle giant with a heart as big as his name suggests. This well-mannered boy prefers to keep to himself but would love nothing more than to curl up on the couch with a loving human by his side. He’s incredibly well-behaved, treat-motivated, and fully housebroken—making him an easy addition to any home.
The Perfect Housemate
- Crate-trained and comfortable in his own space- Walks beautifully on a leash, greeting passing dogs with curiosity but no aggression- Rides well in the car for those weekend adventures- Atlas is not a fan of feline friends so he would do best in a home without kitties!
Health & Care
- Up to date on shots and already neutered- Heartworm positive, but currently undergoing the slow-kill treatment (adoption includes a year of preventive and treatment meds!)
Heartworm is unfortunately quite common in Texas due to the warm, humid climate that allows mosquitoes, which spread heartworm, to thrive year-round. Many dogs in Texas face this risk, but the good news is that heartworm treatment is very effective. With proper medical care, including the treatment provided at adoption, dogs can fully recover and go on to lead long, healthy, and happy lives. With preventive medication, heartworm can be kept at bay, allowing dogs to enjoy an active, fulfilling life with their families.
Atlas hasn’t been formally introduced to other dogs yet, but his calm demeanor and friendly sidewalk greetings show great promise. While his size might seem intimidating, his personality is nothing but sweet.
If you’re looking for a chill, well-behaved companion to share your home and heart with, Atlas is your guy. We’re also starting a fundraiser next week to help with his heartworm treatment, but any adopter will receive full support with his continued care.
Could you be the one to give Atlas his forever home? Apply today!
To add Atlas to your family, simply send us an email at springbranchrescue@gmail.com for adoption and fee information. He is wagging his tail and wiggling his butt at just the thought of finding his forever home and his story is just beginning! His next chapter could be with you!
Our adoption fee includes transport, all age required shots, microchip, & a health certificate from a licensed veterinarian. We look forward to receiving your application! We will review it shortly and give you a call to set up a phone interview.
We are thrilled to offer transport services every 3 weeks from Houston to the Pacific Northwest, the Midwest, and the East Coast, ensuring that these incredible pets can find their way to you no matter where you are. This makes the adoption process smooth and convenient, allowing you to focus on welcoming your new family member with open arms.
Why should you adopt from a Texas Rescue? Because you will be giving one of our many dogs and cats in need a chance for a better future away from a city that has an animal crisis. We are heartbroken each day with the many incredible and loving animals found wandering our streets. So often are these animals dumped, abandoned, or born on the streets and never find a home to call their own. We are giving them the chance that every animal deserves. We know that since you are looking to add a furry family member to your home here, you will provide the love, care, and attention they need to thrive. Thank you for considering adopting and not shopping.
