Story
Hello, hello, humans! Woof! My name is Atticus, and I'm here to share my tail-wagging tale with you. At one and a half years old, I may still be a young pup, but let me tell you - I've got a heart as big as my bark and plenty of love to give.
Let's start with the basics - I'm what they call a medium mixed breed, but around here, they just call me cute! With my mostly white fur and adorable black spots, including one around my left eye, I'm quite the handsome fella, if I do say so myself. And at 33 pounds, I may not be the biggest pup around, but I've got a big personality to make up for it!
Now, let's talk about my journey to the shelter. I came in as a stray, extremely underweight and malnourished. But thanks to the kind folks here, I've been on the road to recovery, gaining weight and strength day by day. They've been feeding me several small meals a day to help me get back on my paws, and let me tell you - I'm feeling better than ever!
When it comes to my personality, well, let's just say I've got a lot to say! I'm quite vocal, always ready to let out a bark or two to let you know how I'm feeling. But don't let that fool you - I'm also a total sweetheart who loves people to bits. Whether it's cuddling on the couch, going for walks in the park, or just hanging out together, I'm happiest when I'm by your side.
Speaking of walks, I'm a pro on a leash! I walk very well and love exploring the great outdoors with my favorite humans. And when it comes to potty training, I'm almost there - just a few more accidents to go, and I'll be fully housetrained in no time!
Now, let's talk about my smarts - I'm super smart and treat motivated, which makes me a quick learner. Whether it's learning new tricks or mastering obedience commands, I'm always eager to show off my skills for a tasty treat. And let's not forget about playtime - I absolutely adore playing with toys and running around with my favorite people. It's the best way to burn off all this energy I've got!
As for other furry friends, well, I'm not quite sure how I feel about them just yet. I haven't had much experience with other dogs and cats, so it's hard to say how I would react. But with the right introduction and guidance, I'm sure I could learn to get along just fine.
Before you come to meet me at the shelter, please note that adopters will need to fill out an adoption application online first. This helps ensure that we find the perfect match for each other. Once your application is approved, we can arrange a visit and start our journey together!
So, if you're looking for a loyal companion who's equal parts cute, cuddly, and full of potential, look no further than yours truly, Atticus. I can't wait to meet you and start our happily ever after!
