Our Atticus is a handsome, happy boy. When our intake volunteer first saw him, she said: "Of all the dogs in the shelter, Atticus caught my attention. I kept going back to him. I couldn't walk away from him!"

Since becoming a "DAWG dog," Atticus has charmed us all. He is quite smart. In addition to knowing basic commands, Atticus quickly learned to "roll over" and "shake." Atticus is eager to please, so much so that he will go through his whole repertoire of commands and tricks for a single treat!

Atticus walks well on a leash; he likes to be out front at the end of the leash, but he doesn't pull. Atticus is a playful fellow and likes to fetch dog toys. Atticus is interested in the other dogs too, and has started to initiate play and adjust his play style to fit the size of the dog.

Atticus is friendly with all people and has already bonded with his show handler, but he is will eagerly bond with a loving family of his own. Ask if Atticus will be at an upcoming adoption show. We think you'll be swept off your feet too!
