Star Atmosphere is available for adoption to Massachusetts residents, as well as those in the other New England states.
This handsome hunk is Star Atmosphere! We are thinking he's an American bulldog mix, with a beautiful blonde coat and a SOLID stature!
Star appears to be your classic goofy, rough-and-tumble puppy...but almost fully grown at 65lbs! He is fun-loving, affectionate, curious, and playful. He loves chasing and wrestling with toys, and also likes going for rides in the car.
Due to several conflicts between Star and other resident dogs early on, Star lived most of his
puppyhood not fully integrated into a home. He has had leash walks with multiple dogs and done well, as well as been around the resident children in small doses. As such, he is still learning about the home environment (eg, he saw carpeted stairs for the first time yesterday and while he was unsure at first, he quickly got the hang of them)!
In new places, Star seems to get his bearings
quickly, though, and focuses on
exploring immediately.
As with all puppies but even more importantly because of his size, Star is going to need some immediate help with his basic skills and manners, like house training, crate training, loose leash walking, and simple commands (sit, stay, etc.). Fortunately, he seems to be smart and treat motivated, and is making good progress, but he may always be the bull-in-China-shop-type dog.
We're confident that with the right human(s) who are able to give him the time and patience he needs for training, Star will catch on quickly. A group training class would also be a great way to help reinforce his skills, pick up some training tips, and get some bonus socialization time with other humans and furry friends.
Star has not yet been observed living with other animals or young children and is not recommended for children at this time since he be so exuberant in his play and greetings. As we gather more information and work with him further, we will update his bio, but for right now, we are looking for a home with no other pets and no children for Star.

This dog has also been preventatively treated and currently shows no symptoms of demodectic mange.
