About Atticus

Meet Atticus! He is a good boy with a big heart and adorable underbite! Atticus is two-years-old and 55lbs of sweetness.

Atticus is the kind of pup who believes every new person is a new friend. He adores humans and shows it by giving hugs, leaning in close for cuddles, and rolling over for belly rubs. His favorite adventures include trips to the beach, running around the park, rolling in the grass, and relaxing by your side.

He loves games of fetch, tasty treats, and showing off his goofy smile. He’s also happy to show you the tricks he knows, plus he is already crate trained.

Atticus is looking for an active family that understands that exercise, enrichment and structure are good for young pups like him. He plays well with other friendly dogs once they are property introduced. And is friendly with the cats he meets at the shelter! If you think that might be you, please fill out an application at AbandonedPetRescue.org.

If you’d like to follow his journey and see more of his charming personality, you can find him on Instagram at @Atticus_apr.

Atticus is vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped. He’s available for adoption at Abandoned Pet Rescue, a no-kill shelter in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
