2/18/25-Atticus' foster family describes him as medium to high energy. He is a little shy at first but once he gets to know you he will stand up on his hind legs to be picked up. He gets excited when you walk in a room and he will wag his tail excitedly. He is doing well with house training and will go to the front door when he needs to go out. He sleeps all night in his crate and does not whine or cry and has no accidents in the crate. He likes playing with their other dogs but would do well as an only dog. He may pull a little on leash walks so they use a harness on him for walks.

JUST ARRIVED!
Atticus is a small and snuggly mix who may possibly have some beagle in him, but we were happy to take him into our rescue without a DNA test! He was found on the side of the road in Mississippi with another dog, both VERY skinny and scrounging for food. Our friends at Roadside Rescue Network brought them to safety and we are grateful to them for all the good work they do! Currently Atticus is at their shelter and has proved himself to be very friendly with people, although sometimes just a tiny bit shy at first meeting. He is doing very well with other dogs and is quite playful. At the shelter he appears to have a moderate to high energy level. Atticus is tolerant of being crated and is fair to good on leash. Great news... He is heartworm negative! When he comes to Florida he will be ready to go on sleepover.
