atticus

Atticus has had a busy week. First he spent the afternoon on Monday with the Torrent hockey team and had the best time. He was totally unfazed meeting twenty different people in one go and just wanted to show off his toys to everyone. On Wednesday he actually attended the game and was requested by name by the Torrent captain and medal winning Olympian, pretty popular guy, just sayin! He is incredibly people focused and affectionate and was so happy to have so much attention focused on him. Atticus also likes other dogs and enjoys romping around in the play yard with them. Today he did his civic duty and entertained some Seattle Fire Department firefighters! This dog is a special find and will be a great buddy for a family. The Seattle Animal Shelter is committed to reducing length of stay for all of our shelter pets! Some pets qualify for FREE or reduced adoption fees, please inquire with our Animal Care team to learn more.   Pets are complex beings and prior to adoption, interested adopters will be counseled by a staff member to discuss the specific needs for each animal. This will include reviewing all known medical and behavior information.   ** Please note that some animals will receive numerous inquiries, sometimes more than we can process. We appreciate your understanding and patience. **  HOW TO ADOPT: Check the animal’s location.  From the Dog Kennels/Dog Isolation/Dog Quarantine (in shelter): To meet this dog, please come to Seattle Animal Shelter at 2061 15th Ave W, Seattle, WA 98119, between 1 – 5 pm on one of our open days, no appointment needed.
