Atticus

FOSTERED IN PENSACOLA <br/>6FT FENCE REQUIRED <br/><br/>Meet Atticus – The Velcro Dane with a Heart of Gold!<br/><br/>At 2 years old, Atticus is the perfect mix of goofy young energy and sweet old soul. He’s an incredibly loving, people-focused Great Dane who wants nothing more than to be right by your side (literally — you’ll never pee alone again).<br/><br/>Atticus adores his humans and enjoys hanging out with his canine foster siblings. He’s still undecided about cats — not mean, just... intrigued. If they run, the chase is on, but with continued guidance he’s learning that “knife mitten friends” are not toys.<br/><br/>He’s had free roam of the house for a couple of hours at a time and has proven himself trustworthy and non-destructive. Crates, however, are not on his list of favorite things — he much prefers the comfort of a cozy corner or his new, mysterious discovery: a real dog bed! His first night sleeping on one, he was so content that a train could have come through the house and he wouldn’t have moved an inch.<br/><br/>Atticus is excellent on leash — no pulling, no reactivity — and he’s working on mastering his basic commands with enthusiasm (treats help!). He isn’t fazed by thunderstorms and is learning how to play fetch and tug-of-war with his foster brother, though the rules of that game are still a work in progress.<br/><br/>This affectionate boy thrives on companionship, so he’d do best in a home with another dog or a person who’s home often. He does try to sneak out the door sometimes, but not to run away — just to be sure he’s not left behind on the next great adventure (even if it’s just to the mailbox). With time, patience, and love, that anxious “wait for me!” energy will fade as he learns he’s finally home for good. NOTE - Atticus is an escape artist - if his people dissappear and he has even a 1% chance of going to find them he will take it - a secure fence is a must and even then he will come for ya!<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a gentle, goofy, Velcro soul who will make every day brighter — Atticus is waiting with belly rub requests and love to spare.<br/><br/>Atticus is neutered, fully vaccinated, and chipped. He is being treated for heartworms with the slow kill method - Doxycycline and ProHeart 12. His adoption fee is $400. To apply to adopt, please go to www.nwflgdr.com/adopt to read the requirements before applying.<br/><br/>Please note: NWFLGDR does not transport. All approved adopters are required to pick up the dog in person from the foster home.
