Notes from Second Chance Dog Rescue
Meet Atom!
Atom may be tiny, but he's packed with personality! At 8 years young and just 3 pounds, this little gentleman is basically a whole lot of sweetness condensed into one tiny package.
Atom is dog friendly, cat friendly and kid friendly, so he's ready to fit right into just about any family. He loves going for walks, even though his teeny tiny legs look a little funny, he trucks along tail wagging quickly to be followed up by what he considers the appropriate reward: a cozy bed and a good nap.
His requirements for happiness are refreshingly simple- walks, naps, soft places to curl up on and his person to sit with. Honestly, Atom has life figured out.
Atom is working on his potty training, and with patience and structure he will get there. He does well in a crate, and he sleeps through the night.
If you're looking for a sweet, pint-sized companion who's equally happy exploring with you or curling up somewhere cozy, Atom just might be your guy. He is up-to-date on his vaccinations, microchipped and neutered. His adoption fee is $300.
