Meet Atticus

Meet Atticus: Your Loyal Family Member! Atticus is a remarkable dog who combines athleticism with a heart full of love. If you're seeking a furry friend who can keep up during the day and snuggle up with you on the couch at night, Atticus is the one. Here's why he's the perfect addition to your family: 1. Athletic Dynamo: Atticus thrives on physical activity. He loves to run, go on long walks, hikes, and play fetch, making him an ideal partner for outdoor adventures. 2. Cuddle Bug: When the sun sets and the day winds down, Atticus transforms into a cuddling champion. He'll nuzzle up to you on the couch, his warm fur radiating comfort. 3. Silent Serenity: Atticus is a quiet soul. No barking here! 4. Social Butterfly: Atticus greets all people and fellow canines with a wagging tail. 5. Car-Ready Companion: Atticus hops into the car with enthusiasm. He's well-behaved during car rides, making road trips enjoyable for both of you. 6. Crate Comfort: Atticus sees his crate as a cozy retreat. He'll happily curl up inside, especially if there's a treat involved. 7. Trainability: Atticus is eager to please. He knows commands like "sit," "paw," "[lay] down," "climb," and "crate" (especially if there's a treat involved). 8. Leash Etiquette: Atticus walks well on a leash. He’s responsive to commands and redirects. 9. Toy Preferences: While Atticus finds stuffed toys too tempting (they're like fluffy snacks!) Lolol, he thrives with whole antlers, Himalayan dog chews (yak), and tough toys. Just keep an eye on him during the time he is chewing on these. 10. Energy Galore: Atticus would thrive in a spacious environment where he can stretch those athletic legs. A fenced backyard or a nearby park would be his playground. He exhibits a strong prey drive towards small animals. Ready to welcome Atticus into your home? Come meet this fun bundle of joy and experience the love he brings. Apply now!!!
