Atticus is a powerful name—and this handsome boy is ready to show you exactly why he embodies it! If you know Atticus Finch from To Kill a Mockingbird, you know he was known for courage, compassion, and fairness. Well, Atticus has decided those qualities belong to him, too! And let's talk about his looks! Atticus is short-legged, solid-bodied, and built like the world's cutest low rectangular table! He may not have the longest legs, but he has plenty of personality packed into that sturdy little body. Atticus is an absolute people lover. He thinks everyone he meets is pretty fantastic and is always ready to show off his adorable smile and those fabulous little teefers! He is the kind of dog who can make you smile just by being himself. And then there are the TOYS! Atticus LOVES his toys—all of them! He'll happily collect his favorites and even take them to bed with him. A boy needs his treasures, after all! Atticus is also great on leash and does not react to other dogs while out walking. However, when it comes to sharing his personal toy collection, Atticus prefers not to negotiate! Because he doesn't like sharing his toys with other dogs, he needs to be the only dog in the home. This just means all the toys, all the attention, and all the love can belong to Atticus! What Atticus really wants is a REAL forever family—the kind that will love him, spoil him, laugh at his silly antics, and never give up on him. So, if you're looking for a handsome, funny, affectionate, toy-loving boy with short legs and a BIG personality, Atticus is your guy! Don't wait too long to apply because this cool little bloke is ready to find his forever family!

Something to Consider:
Puppies don't train themselves
If you aren’t willing to train a puppy every single day, don’t get a puppy! It isn’t a one-shot deal. You have to be dedicated. And if you aren’t making progress – find someone who can help. Enroll in a puppy training class or hire a trainer. Most cities across the nation have some sort of availability for this kind of help and at different cost levels that would fit your budget.
Puppies are going to poop a lot and pee even more; chew on everything; bite everyone; scratch people and furniture; steal things; destroy something at some point; pull on the leash; not move at all on the leash; bark; cry; beg for attention; and the list goes on. You’re going to have to walk them, bathe them, pick up everything below waist height, buy new shoes, and most importantly: TRAIN THE PUPPY NOT TO DO THESE THINGS! Ultimately, it is your responsibility to teach your puppy that this behavior is unacceptable.
Puppies turn into dogs...
