Meet Atticus
Quick Facts:
Gemini; 3 years old (~June 1, 2021); extrovert
Service animal; trained in grounding techniques & deep-pressure therapy
Found wandering alone on the mean streets of St. Louis, Missouri; rescued by Saunders County Lost Pets; adopted from their shelter in Wahoo, Nebraska by me in September 2021
DNA tested 50% Siberian Husky, 50% Good Boy (American Pit Bull Terrior, Staffordshire Terrier, Boxer, American Eskimo Dog, Chow Chow, etc., etc.. & 1% Chihuahua)
Named after Atticus Finch from To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
While his primary focus is being my service animal, I like to say that he moonlights as a therapy dog for others as well. Atticus exhibits main character energy; I like to say he's my sidekick, but it's more likely that I am actually his.
