READ THIS BIO FULLY BEFORE APPLYING.  

Hi, I'm Atlas and boy am I handsome and everyone knows it.  BUT, I can be a real turd.  I will nip and bite when I don't want to do something like let you take my toys away or my treat.  I was surrendered to the shelter for this behavior.  However, all is not lost.  In the few weeks with my foster mom, I have already made huge strides.  Ninety-five percent of the time, I am so so good and sweet.  But the other five percent is what foster mommy says I have to be up front about.  Foster mommy says that I cannot go to a home with kids because of my personality and that I have to have a fenced yard so I don't get bored. She also says that while training is mandatory through Pawfect with all of the puppies and some adults who are adopted, she won't even consider any application who has not already researched and contacted a trainer.  My foster mommy loves me very much and wants my next home to be my real forever home.  I am a herding dog--so not cats for me and no kids for me.  I love the other dogs in the house and play well with them.  I love to snuggle on the couch with my foster mommy and love to show off all the tricks I know.  I know sit, shake, high five, high ten, go get the ball and go potty.  I do great in my crate at night and haven't had a single accident in the house.  Foster mommy would really like me to go to an experienced Aussie or cocker spaniel order because many of my traits are simply who I am as a breed that needs to be worked with.  If you're up for the task and not simply blinded by my handsome face, fill out an application and see if we're a match.  I'm waiting!!!!
