Atlas Moose is the kind of puppy that makes you laugh within the first five minutes of meeting him. Maybe it's the giant floppy ears, or the tail that's practically as long as the rest of him, or the fact that he can somehow detect a treat from what feels like three zip codes away. Whatever it is, this boy has personality for days! He's goofy, happy, affectionate, and still very much figuring out how to navigate life with those oversized puppy feet. Atlas Moose is approximately 5 months old, currently weighs around 42 lbs, and we believe he may be a German Shepherd/Bloodhound mix. He's sweet, loving, curious, playful, and always ready to have a good time. One minute he's bouncing around playing with a toy, and the next he's happily soaking up affection from his people. He has a wonderfully happy-go-lucky personality and approaches life with the enthusiasm that only a puppy can have. Atlas is both a toy lover and a foodie – he loves treats and gets genuinely excited when snacks are involved. This food motivation will make him a blast to continue training, as he's eager to learn. He also loves toys, especially balls, and already knows how to play fetch, happily bringing the ball back again and again. Atlas has met adult dogs and has done well with them. He can come on a little strong at first due to excitement, pulling a bit and being a little pushy with his sniffing, but he settles down nicely and respects when other dogs ask for space. He's still learning social skills, but he's already showing that he understands dog communication. Atlas could do well as an only dog or with another medium to large dog that enjoys playful puppy energy.
Ideal Home
Atlas is going to need a family committed to training, socialization, and all the work that comes with raising a large breed puppy. Because Atlas is a growing puppy with typical puppy energy, we think he'd do best in a home with a backyard where he has room to run, play fetch, stretch those long legs, and burn off energy.
Ongoing Health
None listed.
Training & Support
Atlas is working on crate training and is doing great learning where the appropriate potty places are. Like any puppy his age, he'll need continued consistency, routine, and structure as he grows. He's still very much a baby and is learning new things every day.
