🐕 MEET ATLAS—A silly dog—but your typical German Shepherd. Sweet. Smart. Sometimes a little too smart for his own good. Somewhat small for his breed, but a beautiful boy. On April 22, 2025, Atlas was confined by the City of Bedford, Texas, and ordered killed for something he didn't do. He was 4 years old. 🐕‍🦺🐕🐩🦮 Atlas was friends with everything. And he had a lot of friends. 👩 Atlas loved his momma, who has given all she has in her life to prove he's innocent, to fight to bring him home to his human brother and canine brothers. Atlas has had no meaningful human interaction, unless you count catch poles and iron doors. He has not been outside. He has not touched grass. He has not been outside his cage. On June 24, his mom was told he was being moved to the police station, to avoid public scrutiny, as a recent social media post had caused rescues and advocates to call and harass the staff. A police station....where isolation is certain...and cement floors a reality. The City has refused to provide his mom, Tammi, any kind of updates on his location, health, well-being, or even a photo to ease her mind. 💔 Not surprisingly, after over 3 months of these conditions at the police station, and over 500 days of confinement, Tammi was told Atlas had suffered a MENTAL BREAK. The City offered to pay her "a few thousand dollars" to purchase him and give up her owner rights. She declined. Yet even in the face of a mental break, the City continued to REFUSE to provide a single record or update documenting his health and well being. 🤯 Even after a decision from the Texas Attorney General said they had to. It has never been proven in court that Atlas bit anyone. Atlas is now almost 6 years old. 🔐 AS OF OCTOBER 16, 2026, ATLAS HAS BEEN CONFINED FOR 542 DAYS. In the State Appeal process, the recent brilliant brief responses her attorney submitted, and public records requests pressures had brought them to the table. The City was ready to negotiate Atlas' release. The City had even AGREED to the deFURment Program, a detailed, staged rehabilitation approach I had created for Tammi to provide the City and the Court to ensure both public safety concerns and humane treatment were met through (in short): 1) a certified transport service 2) DACVB assessment with recommendations for rehabilitation (after decompression) 3) safe decompression 4) a rehabilitation + training program provided by naming one of the top expert credentialed trainers in Texas, @DoriNaivarWrkdg with WorkDog Rescue + Rehabilitation 5) a second DACVB assessment with recommendations moving forward for Atlas ....but they ADDED conditions... ⁉️ The City demanded I stop the "barrage" of my independent public records requests. ⁉️ The City demanded I also give up my independent pursuit of the records the Attorney General had ordered them to provide to me. ⁉️ The City demanded Tammi waive her right to file a Federal Civil Rights case against them. ⁉️ The City demanded Tammi, nor HER FRIENDS AND FAMILY or any "ADVOCATES" be present for ANY part of the transfer process. ⁉️ The City demanded they not release Atlas until 10 days FOLLOWING a signed agreement, to ensure no one violated their demand that Tammi nor anyone she knew speak ill of Bedford or their associates. ⁉️ They even threatened to withdraw the settlement unless I stopped submitting records requests. ❌ Tammi answered that she would never sign away her right to FREE SPEECH. 💰 If they wanted her to waive her civil rights, she gave them a figure that research had shown her was a reasonable settlement amount for such a precious American citizen right. ❌ They declined Tammi's counter offer. ⚖️ Then they violated the Attorney General's public records order, after which I filed a formal complaint with the OAG. With negotiations at an end, and Atlas' "mental break" almost a month since they announced it, things became urgent. 📁 Tammi's attorney is now preparing an EMERGENCY MOTION to force the City to allow a veterinarian to examine Atlas in person, report his physical, mental and health condition back to the judge, and then allow Tammi to carry out the plan the City agreed to, and securely transfer Atlas to a safe decompression site and rehab center provided by @DoriNaivarWrkdg at WorkDog. ⏳ Tammi will need to quickly secure the funds needed for costs associated with the veterinarian who examines Atlas, the transportation, secure location, and DACVB fees. The city already admitted this plan is safe. They chose concealment over a solution. The legal battle is with the judges, but securing his safety and road back to health depends entirely on us. 🐶❤️ If you would like to donate to help Tammi free Atlas, please use the following usernames/links: ➡️ Zelle: [email protected] ➡️ CashApp: cash.app/$saveAtlasnow ➡️ Venmo: @saveAtlasnow ➡️ PayPal: Coming Soon ✅ To ensure transparency and accountability, all donations and expenditures will be reported monthly. 📩 If you want to send Tammi words of encouragement, feel free to email her at [email protected] Thank you for helping free Atlas. ⛓️‍💥🐶❤️ DAY 542. #FREEATLAS
