"Hello everyone. I'm Attis!

As you can tell from my photo with this nice police man, I'm very handsome and debonair. I'm also VERY smart! I know all my commands. I know Sit, stay, down, heal, come, leave it, drop it, no and many others. I also know some fun tricks. I love to learn new things. If you’re willing to teach I’m willing to learn! I enjoy adventure! Going hiking or going to the beach makes me so happy. I love the water and I’m a great swimmer.

I’m a ROCKSTAR on the leash. I don’t pull at all. I can walk calmly by other dogs even though they make me a little nervous.
I love meeting people. I get so excited that my tail won’t stop moving.

I have met some smaller humans and other dogs and I feel a bit anxious around them and prefer to keep my distance.

The last few months have been a little rough for me because my family returned me to my rescue. That’s in the past and I don’t let that get me down. I have lots of folks who love me and who won’t ever give up on me. Between their efforts and my stunning good looks and amazing personality I have no doubt we will find me a home soon!!

I’m housebroken and I’m crate trained. To top it off, I’m also professionally trained!

Wow! If I could adopt me, I WOULD!

I’m the whole package here!"
