Animal Name: Atticus
IAR ID#: D-10-012
DOB: 2007-02-05 (3 year old)
Gender: Male
Animal Weight: 55 lbs.
Dog Breed(s): German Shepherd Dog Mix
Physical Description: Atticus is an absolutely gorgeous Belgian Malinois mix. He has soulful brown eyes, a lean body and pointed ears. Right now he is thin, and probably could stand to gain 5 or 6 lbs to be in his best shape. His gait is lovely -- almost a prance.
Animal Personality: Atticus is a sweet boy who wants to do the right thing. He was nervous after getting out of the shelter, but he is now settling in nicely. He is housebroken and loves affection. He is also extremely smart -- he knows sit, shake, does well on a leash and in the car. He enjoys treats and takes them gently. He is being very mannerly around my dogs. Atticus would do well in a family who could give him plenty of exercise, both mental and physical. Malinois need to be stimulated through physical activity and also by learning new things, and can be stubborn at times. I think he would be best in a household that was familiar with this breed of dog.

Did You Know: Cats are the only animals that purr. They can purr at around 26 cycles per second, which is the same frequency as an idling diesel engine.
