History: Athos needed a second chance at a good life and arrived to rescue with the help of Lightshine Rescue whose efforts are focused on a rural reservation in South Dakota where resources are low.
Unfortunately, upon getting to rescue, him and his littermate broke with parvovirus. They were so brave and fought through the virus and are on the mend, doing great!
A Note from the Foster: Hello I am Athos but my foster human brother calls me Baymax. I am a sweet and loveable little guy with a timid personality but the best puppy kisses of all. I love to chew on bones and wrestle. I get along with all dogs and cats i have meet so far. My start was a little"ruff" but I am a brave little guy and keep pulling through. I am also great with kids of all ages. I learn fast and eat my puppy food while i sit down and enjoy every bite. I am mastering thebpotty training phase and ready to find my furever home. If you need me to heal you and make your heart whole, I am ready to join your family.

Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
