Atlas is 75 pounds of pure love! He may look like an intimidating German Shepherd mix, but he absolutely is not! He is 3 years old, and gets along with absolutely everyone (except maybe cats). He is the king of play dates! He plays well with all dogs and people, but is also happy to sit alone and play with a toy. Atlas loves the water so would be a great buddy to take to the lake. He has done well with children at adoption events. We can't think of a single negative thing to say about this boy, except maybe he likes cats too much. Atlas is neutered, microchipped, HW negative, and up-to-date on vaccines. Available for $30 at Berrien County Animal Control at 1400 S. Euclid in Benton Harbor.
