Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Atticus came to us from a very tough situation. It is evident that he had a very good upbringing and was well loved at some point. He arrived at our shelter in terrible condition with many wounds and injuries and was terribly emaciated. We are unsure what exactly happened, but Atticus has never stopped loving people. He has been diligently nursed back from the brink of death and is happy and thriving with the love he is receiving. He desperately needs a new home where he can continue to be cared for and can be brought back to his former handsome self. He is very playful and loves fetch with his ball more than anything in the world. He is friendly with people and ignores other dogs. We feel he will prosper in a home with no little kids or other pets so he will never have to compete for food, toys, or attention ever again. Atticus does have some minor underlying issues that will need some ongoing care for. Contact us today for an application to see if you are a match for this lovely boy.
