Achilles - Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Chamblee, Georgia

The first thing to know about Achilles is that he's BIG, 126.8 pounds big! He was abandoned and came to the shelter less than a month ago. He's a senior, 8 years old and must have had a home once so it's no surprise he's had a tough time adjusting to the shelter. Volunteers have been getting to know him and said "He was very friendly with me in the yard and insisted on petting. He was very wiggly and play bowed back and forth with another dog through the fence." If you have a heart for big dogs and senior dogs, Achilles would love to meet you.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
