Atlas Labrador Retriever & Weimaraner Mix New Orleans, LA

Meet Atlas, the rare lab mix that does not shed! We aren’t sure what breed mix gave this gift to him, but he has the softest, shiniest non-shedding coat we’ve ever seen.

A resilient 4-year-old sweet boy weighing ~36 lbs, he was rescued from a hoarding situation where he and a bunch of other dogs were neglected for years. Despite this past, he is very submissive and docile. He allows the small dog he is living with lead him and make all the decisions. Including who gets to chew the juiciest bones. He is great on leash and loves long walks and visiting the dog park. After some energy release, he is content to lounge with his family

Housebroken, neutered, updated on vaccines, well behaved in the house and friendly with dogs, cats, and kids, Atlas seeks companionship and affection. Really just a big old lovable doofus.

Although currently heartworm positive, the rescue covers the full cost of treatment at our partnered vet. With vaccinations completed and neutered, Atlas is poised to integrate into a caring household. He’s so prepared to leave the past behind and embrace a brighter future with a loving family. Don't pass up the chance to add this perfect boy into your life—apply today and give him the forever home he deserves.
