Atlas

**Due to his size and age, Atlas needs a family experienced with owning XL dog breeds.**



Big, goofy, and oh so sweet - what's not to love about Atlas?

Atlas is estimated to be 5-7 months old, and he is the epitome of a baby horse. He gallops around with glee and is still learning how to maneuver his tall, awkward legs. He would love to be your house pony and keep you cozy on the couch during these cold nights. Atlas weighs about 60lbs and will be over 100lbs when fully grown - no apartments for this guy!

Atlas came to us from a overcrowded Central California animal shelter after he was found as a stray with a fractured leg. Thanks to the amazing UC Davis Fracture Program, he was able to get surgery to fix his leg. After a couple of months of crate rest, he is all healed and ready for his fur-ever home.

Atlas is a fun-loving and comical guy who brings the party wherever he goes. He is always down for some fun and is looking for an active family who can keep up with his puppy antics. He would absolutely love to live somewhere with land to run, but as long as he has a backyard to romp around in, he'll be happy. Atlas is a social guy who loves to make new friends and is quick to charm you with his little wagging nub of a tail. He is a very affectionate guy and he will keep you smiling with his happy-go-lucky personality. Atlas is still a learning puppy and will need a family committed to continuing working on his basic manners training - something very important for a pup his size!

Atlas has done great living with other dogs, but can get overly excited when he seems dogs on walks. His new family will need to work on his leash reactivity and help he learn how to respectfully meet new dog friends. We think he would love another playful dog in his new home, but he also could do well as an only dog. Due to his size and rambunctious personality, Atlas would do best in a home without cats or young kids, but he has done great living with teenagers.

Atlas has been doing great with his house-training, but is still learning and his new family will need to be consistent with continuing his training. Atlas is crate trained and is content to hang out in his crate for a few hours at a time during the day and sleeps through the night in there.

Atlas is such an amazing guy and he is going to bring so much joy to his new family. If you think that might be you, submit an application today!

The Yolo County SPCA is a private, not-for-profit, foster home-based animal rescue organization and does not have a shelter. All our animals awaiting adoption are in foster homes.

Our adoption fees help us cover the cost of spay/neuter surgery, microchip and registration, and rabies vaccination (if over 4 months of age at intake or spay/neuter) for all animals. Dogs are tested for heartworm, started on preventatives, and given a DAPP vaccination. Adult dogs are up to date on their vaccinations prior to adoption. Puppies will be current on the vaccinations appropriate to their age. The adopter is responsible for additional vaccinations as necessary after the adoption.
