Atlas came to his current family as a stray, wandering the streets and searching for food and shelter. We discovered him one chilly evening, his coat matted and dirty, and immediately felt a pull to help him. After bringing him home, the family took him to a local veterinarian to get scanned for a microchip, hoping to reunite him with his original family. To our surprise, he does have a microchip, and after contacting the registered owner, we learned that they had rehomed him when he was just a puppy.

Honestly, we don't know much about him beyond the brief history we obtained. We've had Atlas for 8 weeks now, and during this time, we have made significant efforts to help him integrate into our household, which includes our existing dogs and cats. Unfortunately, Atlas has an extremely high prey drive, which has been a recurring source of tension and challenges, particularly concerning our cats and smaller pets. Despite this, he is incredibly sweet and affectionate with people, displaying a gentle demeanor that endears him to everyone he meets. He is remarkably tolerant when it comes to routine grooming tasks, such as baths and nail trims, which is a huge plus. He also enjoys car rides, sitting calmly in the back seat while we drive, and he seems to have a special fondness for rivers, where he splashes around joyfully.

In terms of training, Atlas knows several commands, including sit, lay down, spin, and come. Working on heel. He loves the water. He is definitely birdy and has a lot of potential there.
