ATOM - SHEPHERD / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Posted Breed: Shepherd / Mixed (medium coat). Please contact Paul Slebzak (paulsluckydoganimalrescue) for more information about this pet. Good boy looking for his forever home! ATOM NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Atom Best Guess for Breed: Shepherd mix Best Guess for Age: 3 years as of January 2024 SEX: Male Approximate Weight: 39 lbs Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven’t seen Atom with cats or kids, but he can be tested! Currently Living at: DC area foster home Special adoption considerations: Atom is a truly Lucky Dog! He tested positive for Heartworm disease but has already been treated! Heartworm is not contagious to people or other pets, but results from mosquito bites. Heartworm, if left untreated, is life threatening, but after treatment, dogs that were heartworm positive should suffer no significant long-term effects so long as they are kept on a monthly heartworm preventative. We are happy to talk more in depth about heartworm disease and treatment during the adoption counseling process. Atom is Looking For: Meet Atom, the charismatic canine companion with a heart as warm as his rich black and brown coat! This dashing male dog is not just a bundle of fur; he's a true delight waiting to bring joy to your home. Atom is a four-legged adventurer who loves exploring the world around him, whether it's on a brisk morning walk or a cozy evening cuddle. Atom is not just a furry friend; he's a loyal confidant who will stand by your side through thick and thin. His expressive eyes hold a world of love and loyalty, just waiting to be shared with his forever family. If you're ready to embark on a journey filled with tail wags, unconditional love, and endless moments of joy, Atom is eagerly awaiting to join your family!! What My Foster Says About Me: Behavior: Loves/craves attention; good progress with outdoor potty training. (only one accident in the beginning but has been doing his business outside ever since) Temperament: Extremely loyal, will follow you everywhere. Initially shy but quick to warm up; good with children (interacted well with my 10-year-old cousin); friendly with other dogs. Activity Level: Energetic and playful; enjoys interaction with people and playtime. Currently learning how to sit (I feel like he's 70% there). He was resistant at first to get into his crate but now is starting to go to his crate to sleep. Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training.
