Description:
Atlas Mastiff | 1-year-old neutered male | 95 lbs Intake: 10/16/25 | Stray | Heartworm negative Meet Atlas, a gentle giant with a tender heart. When he first arrived at the shelter as a stray, Atlas was fearful, shut down, and overwhelmed by the world around him. Since then, he has made incredible progress. With patience and kindness, he is slowly learning that people can be trusted and that life doesn’t have to be so scary. Shelter life has been especially challenging for Atlas, and he struggles in a kennel environment. Outside the kennel, however, his softer, calmer personality shines through. In quieter settings, he relaxes, seeks reassurance, and continues building confidence at his own pace. Atlas is very food motivated, dog friendly, and just beginning to discover the joys of play and affection. He thrives with gentle encouragement and positive interactions, and would do best in a calm, patient home or foster placement where he can decompress, feel safe, and continue to blossom. Atlas is a sensitive soul who simply needs the right environment to shine — and when he feels secure, his true personality begins to emerge.
