Atlas’ Story

Atlas is one of the 4 newest residents of Mission: Wolf. This bold young wolfdog was named for the Titan of Greek mythology who held up the heavens above. Atlas has already endured much and shouldered more burdens than any puppy should ever need to, and yet come out the other side as an incredibly happy pup.

Atlas was abandoned on the streets of a small California town and later found by rescuers scavenging for food with other dumped puppies. Atlas was extremely weak and emaciated, but luckily was still able to move under his own power. He was quickly taken to a devoted foster to join his packmate Lyra. The two spent the next couple of weeks eating and recovering their strength along with their other two adopted siblings Spirit and Wylder. Atlas then made the journey to Mission: Wolf and enjoyed the adventure alongside his packmates.

In winter of 2024 Atlas and Lyra were moved into their own enclosure and have been enthusiastically social with nearly everyone, and he has continued to grow more confident and energetic with each passing day. The pair can frequently can be found playing with each other and they bring smiles to every person they meet.
