Atlas's Story

Meet Atlas – Your Ultimate Toy-Loving Athlete!<br/> <br/><br/>Atlas is a striking 5-year-old Labrador x German Shorthaired Pointer with both brains and brawn, standing tall at 28” and weighing in at 85 lbs. He’s had a few real-world training jobs, but now he’s ready to channel his talents into life as a fun, active companion.<br/><br/><br/>This big guy lives for toys—his drive is off the charts—and he brings all the enthusiasm in the world to playtime. He’s also well-trained, with an impressive resume of obedience skills, hand signals, whistles, and more. Add in that he’s housebroken, crate trained, dog door savvy, and fully vetted with clear hips and elbows, and you’ve got a rock-solid partner for all of life’s adventures.<br/><br/><br/>Atlas is social with dogs big and small, though his pushy, toy-driven style means he thrives best with playmates who can keep up with his energy. He’s already proven himself in dock diving (and is really, really good at it!) and would shine in Nosework, hiking, or just about any outlet for his athleticism and zest for life.<br/><br/><br/>Whether you’re looking for a sport dog, a trail buddy, or simply a larger-than-life companion with endless love for toys and adventure, Atlas is ready to leap into his forever home.<br/><br/><br/>Ideal Home:<br/><br/>Loves big, strong, playful dogs<br/>Interested in dog sports or active adventures<br/>Enjoys toy-fueled antics and high-drive fun

National Disaster Search Dog Foundation's Adoption Policy
Anyone looking to give a great home to a great dog is welcome to submit an application. We do give preference to applicants located in Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, and Ventura Counties so that SDF staff can offer in-person support when needed. We seek adopters who can provide love, good care, and plenty of exercise. All of our dogs are active, high-energy, high-drive canines—while they may not be suited for search work, they can make wonderful companions for the right home. Lifetime Support: Adoption doesn’t end when you take your dog home. We offer ongoing support for the life of your dog, including access to our team of professional trainers for any questions or concerns. Our goal is to help you and your dog succeed together, every step of the way.
