Atlas, 1 year old border collie mix

Meet Atlas – A Smart, Playful Heart Looking for His Forever Home 🐶✨

Atlas is a 1-year-old Border Collie mix weighing around 45 lbs, with a medium to high energy level and a big, loving heart. True to his breed, Atlas is intelligent, eager, and thrives when he has both mental and physical outlets.

Atlas is exceptionally patient and kind with other dogs, no matter their energy level. He plays beautifully, reads social cues well, and is a wonderful canine companion. He does well with respectful adults; while he hasn’t met children yet, his gentle nature suggests he may do well with proper introductions and supervision.

Playtime is Atlas’s favorite time! He loves fetch and will happily entertain himself by chewing his toys when bored (approved toys only!). His favorites include stuffed birds, balls, Kongs, and Wubbas.
