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! Although Atom has not lived with children, he has done well with those kids he has met. Given what we have observed so far, however, we think he would do well in a home with kids.
We have tested Atom with some of the cats at one of our adoption events, and he did not seem particularly interested in chasing or pouncing on the cat. While this is a positive sign that Atom could live with a cat, he has not done so to our knowledge. If you have cats in your home, we are happy to discuss with you how to best introduce a new pup to your pack!
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:
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.
TO ADOPT: The adoption fee for this dog is $475, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations, spay/neuter, and heartworm treatment. If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online at bit.ly/adoptaluckydog
Lucky Dog Animal Rescue does our best to provide accurate information about the dogs we have for adoption. That said, we cannot make any guarantees about age, breed or temperament.
