Atlas's Story

Mixed breed maleRe-introducing Atlas. This handsome fellow was found by a Good Samaritan way back in February when he was just a wee pup.<br/>Atlas suffered a broken pelvis after being hit by a car, but has since recovered. He does have a slightly abnormal gait but X-rays show that everything has set, no further intervention is needed. He’s a happy and playful brindle boy - not our typical breed makeup here at CCHDR but a good one nonetheless.<br/>Atlas is people, dog, and CAT friendly. Because he’s mixed with so many different breeds, he’s got the best of all worlds. He has a super sweet and calm demeanor and been raised by the best foster mom, so we know he’s got a solid foundation. He’s housebroken, crate trained, knows basic commands and more!<br/>Atlas is now a 1 year old, 70lb, valley special. Located in Tranquillity, CA but his foster would be willing to travel a few hours in any direction for a serious, qualified adopter.<br/><br/>More photos and updates: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1345398709755113&type=3<br/><br/>Interested in Atlas ?
