puppy atlas

  Some names just fit, and Atlas is one of them. Just like the mighty Titan who carried the world, Atlas has a larger-than-life presence that’s impossible to ignore. At only 5 months old (born 1/11/26) and already 38 pounds, this handsome boy is destined to grow into a stunning, powerful companion—likely reaching 75 pounds or more as an adult.  Atlas inherited his gorgeous looks from his purebred Australian Shepherd mom, and we suspect his dad was a Husky or Malamute, giving him his striking appearance, sturdy build, and those adorably oversized paws. Everywhere he goes, people stop to admire him. But Atlas isn’t just a handsome face—he has an equally wonderful personality. He’s a happy, playful puppy who loves every dog he meets, regardless of size or age. He’s also great with cats and absolutely adores children, making him an excellent candidate for an active family looking for a loyal best friend. Like any growing puppy, Atlas has a big appetite, an even bigger zest for life, and an eagerness to learn. He loves treats, making training both fun and rewarding, and his foster family says he’s always eager to please. With continued guidance, he’ll grow into an incredible lifelong companion. Because Atlas will be a large, energetic dog, we’re looking for a home with a securely fenced yard where he can safely run, play, and stretch those long legs. Atlas is fully vetted, neutered, microchipped, and ready for his forever family. All that’s missing is someone to love him as much as he’ll love them in return. Could that be you? Atlas is waiting in Tennessee, packed and ready to hop aboard the transport van heading north to meet the family he’s been dreaming of. If you’d like to give this extraordinary boy the home he deserves, please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at  ccrnewengland@gmail.com for more information. Big dog. Big heart. Big future. Atlas is ready to make your world complete.   PLEASE NOTE:  Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted.  Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site.  The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comJune 25, 2026, 7:47 pm
