Dog Rescue Stories: Atty Rescued Himself – That’s “Atty-tude!”

Atticus, aka Atty, wandered as a stray into the Tri-Valley Animal Rescue in Pleasanton, California. Heather and Denis soon adopted him on Halloween ’15. He is their first rescue dog and has amazed them since day one with how much love and affection he has to give. There is not a single a person or pup he doesn’t get excited to meet and want to play with. Atty’s attitude is infectious and he has taught his family to be more appreciative and accepting of the world around them. They are incredibly thankful for Atty coming into their lives.  Sometimes, it feels like Atty rescued THEM!
