๐ถ ATLAS is a small, one-year-old dog with a heart full of love. While his breed is a bit of a mystery, his sweet, affectionate nature is unmistakable. He thrives on cuddles and attention but can get bored easily if left alone, which has led to some naughty habits like chewing. Despite this, ATLAS has so much potential with the right family to give him the walks, play, and mental enrichment heโs been missing.
SIZE: Small
SPAYED/NEUTERED: Yes
CHARACTER HIGHLIGHTS: Sweet, affectionate, playful
DOGS: need time to trust dogs, as been attacked but will definitely benefit of a Doggy Friend
CATS: Not aggressive, but can get overly playful and jealous for attention
CHILDREN: Great with older children, enjoys their company
A few weeks ago we received an urgent plea to rehome ATLAS, a UK resident dog who was living in a flat without a garden alongside three unfriendly cats. While his family loved him, their busy work schedules left little time for walks and attention, and the ongoing tension between him and the cats was making life difficult. Wanting the best for him, they made the tough decision to find a new home where ATLAS can truly thrive.
He has since moved to one of our amazing foster homes, and this is what she has to say about him: โHeโs good on the lead and has been OK passing other dogs, though Iโve kept a distance. He can be a bit grumbly when meeting new people, but itโs just because heโs unsure and tends to hide behind us. I think he might have been eating the catsโ food before, as heโs been quite picky with his meals. Iโve tried turkey and rice, which worked a bit better, but he seems more interested in cat biscuits than dog food! Heโs also very attached and follows me from room to room, getting anxious if he canโt see or reach me. I think he will get better in time as he still settles and builds trust but don't think he will ever be a dog you can leave for long hours. So far, the only chewing behaviour has been when heโs separated.โ
๐ถ ATLAS is a cuddle bug at heart. He loves to snuggle up with his humansโwhether itโs in bed, on the couch, or anywhere cozy. Heโs happiest when heโs near his people but can struggle to share attention with cats. For this reason, a home with no cats or with a careful introduction process would be ideal. ATLAS does well with older children and enjoys their company, making him a good fit for families.
Heโs used to being walked in the afternoon and evening, does well on an extendable lead, and loves his time outdoors. ATLAS has never been off-lead, which may have contributed to his boredom at home. Having the chance to run free in a secure area would help him burn off excess energy. He would do best in a home with a garden where he can explore and relax in his own time.
๐ถ ATLAS would benefit from s friendly dog companion.
๐ถ ATLAS is a loyal companion who struggles with being left alone and will need a home where someone can be with him for most of the day.
๐ถ ATLAS is looking for a calm, steady household with lots of love and guidance. Ideally, he would thrive in a home with a garden and perhaps another friendly dog who can show him the ropes. If youโre looking for a sweet boy full of potential, ATLAS is ready to be your perfect match.
๐ถ ATLAS is fully healthy. Castrated. Has core vaccines done, microchipped.
