Atlas

Meet Atlas, a handsome 1-year-old German Shepherd who is still very much a young boy discovering the world around him.

At this age, Atlas is full of potential and will thrive with a family who can continue helping him build confidence, learn good manners and experience new things in a positive way.

Atlas may be suitable to live with another well-matched dog, but he'll need gradual, positive introductions to unfamiliar dogs to help set everyone up for success. He's looking for humans who understand that good friendships take time and that a little patience can go a long way.

With his size, energy and young age, Atlas would be best suited to a home with secondary school-aged children who can understand how to interact respectfully with a big, enthusiastic dog.

Atlas is also looking for people who are comfortable continuing to work on positive handling with him, helping him learn that being touched, examined and handled can be a calm and rewarding experience.

He's only one, which means his story is just beginning. With the right home, guidance and plenty of positive experiences, Atlas has all the makings of a wonderful lifelong companion.

If you're ready to help this young Shepherd navigate the world and grow into the best version of himself, Atlas would love to meet you.
