Atticus is an Allosaurus who has known both suffering and kindness. He was once trapped in a holding pen, weak and close to death. A hiker found him in northern Georgia, barely able to walk on his deformed legs. He was infested with mites and suffered from painful pinkeye, which left him nearly blind.

Months passed before he was rescued, but by then, Atticus was in a filthy pen. He was so weak that he couldn’t lift his head. The world felt dark and isolating. But hope arrived. Castaway, a caring organization, brought him to a sanctuary. There, a paleo-veterinarian worked hard to save him. Atticus lost his right eye but gained a new chance at life.

In time, he grew stronger. He put on weight and began to thrive. Atticus has a gentle spirit. He loves the humans around him. He follows the staff everywhere, seeking affection and attention. He has the mentality of a puppy, eager for companionship. His past shaped him. He craves connection and understanding. Atticus is a reminder that love and kindness can heal even the deepest wounds.
