Atlas is a 6 month old male Great Pyrenees/Old English sheepdog mix. He will be a very large boy at maturity as he already tops 65 pounds and is growing like the proverbial weed. Atlas is a big boy and is showing signs that if there was a pirate ship, he would definitely be the captain. Accordingly, this dog can only go to a home that will commit to obedience training and must promise not to be a marshmallow about enforcing rules. Atlas is a sweet rough and tumble puppy and he is eager to please his people. He will make a wonderful pet for the right family that wants a huge, smart, white woolly mammoth who has a touch of the captain in him.

FOR PUPPIES: HOMES CONSIDERING PUPPIES MUST BE PREPARED TO:
1. Have a flexible schedule to allow for potty training. Puppies can only hold it for one hour per month of age.
2. Crate Train the puppy. It keeps the puppy safe and your furniture free from puppy attack. It is not cruelty, it's safety for the dog.
3. Supervise this dog with children. Children and puppies are uninhibited which can be dangerous for both puppy and child. Supervise them!
4. Provide Obedience Training. Well mannered puppies are made, not born. You have an obligation to make your puppy a well adjusted dog citizen.
5. Socialize your dog. It is critical to keep your dog or puppy well socialized. Expose your puppy to people, new situations, other animals. This helps them adjust to everyday life.
6. Understand that you get what you put into the relationship. If you want to have a good dog, you must do your part. Training, time and affection are required. Patience as well. No dog is perfect, and neither are you. You need to be prepared to be patient when they make mistakes.
7. Understand that puppy hood can last for 2 years or more. They will eventually calm down, but they are youngsters. Keep that in mind when deciding on whether you can adopt a young dog or would be better off with a more sedate adult dog.
