About this Dog
Atlas may be the runt of his litter, but no one told him that! At 10 weeks old, he’s a confident, clever little pup who greets the world with a wagging tail, a fearless heart, and the swagger of someone who knows he’s adorable. He was the first of his siblings to explore, to learn “sit,” and to show off his personality—and now he’s ready to bring all that brilliance and love to his forever home.This tiny-but-mighty boy is the ultimate explorer—hence the name Atlas! He’s especially fond of playtime with rolling toys and has a playful little growl that friends say sounds just like baby Simba. He’s got a high energy level and will thrive in a home with plenty of activity, toys, and interaction. A fenced yard isn’t required, but it would be a big plus for this zoomie king.Atlas has been working on potty training and is picking it up so quickly! He's a quick learner, so he's also used to sleeping in a crate at night with his siblings. He is always the first of his siblings to approach a new dog, all tail wags and ready to say hi! He would LOVE to have a doggy sibling in his forever home, but this is not required. As a typical puppy, he can be pretty mouthy so he may need some redirection when playing with kids and he responds well. He has not been tested with cats.Atlas had a tough start to life, earning a few battle scars and a survivor’s spirit after his mama (a struggling stray) had difficulty caring for her pups. But you’d never know it now—he’s living proof that the smallest pup can have the biggest heart. If you’re looking for a best friend who’s ready to explore the world with you, Atlas is your guy.If you are interested in Atlas, fill out an application at this link to get the ball rolling - https://pethavenmn.org/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/The adoption fee is $550.

Adopt Atlas and Receive Atlas's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Atlas's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Atlas's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Atlas, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Atlas's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Atlas was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Atlas’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Atlas’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Atlas’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
