12/27/24 4 years ago, the gentlest guy came into rescue. Atlas came into rescue in severe condition. He was covered in bite wounds, had a gaping gunshot wound in his chest and was only 13 pounds. Even though you would think his spirit would be crushed, it was not. He was such a kind and gentle soul. Happy and sweet. He was taller and a healthy weight would be around 35 pounds.
He found a home and flourished with the love of a family. He had two canine siblings as well. He was such a happy good boy and even made the move back East recently. However, he became ill. Repeated attempts to figure out what was wrong, ended in failure and Atlas just kept getting worse to the point he stopped eating. Atlas crossed over the rainbow bridge right after Christmas. We know how devastated his family is and we are extremely sorry for their loss. We loved Atlas and will forever remember him as the gentle soul he was. We are grateful for the home he received and the family that showed him the love he finally deserved! Rest in peace sweet Atlas.
