Atreyu, 11, can best be described as an energetic pre-teen seeking his forever family.
He loves to be physically active by working out and lifting weights to stay in shape.
Atreyu enjoys the outdoors and has the most fun when he is playing in the water and swimming. He also likes to be on the court playing basketball. When indoors, he likes to play his PlayStation 4.
He has a big appetite for corn dogs, pancakes, hamburgers, and macaroni & cheese. When in school, Atreyu enjoys learning about science.
Atreyu would like to have a motorcycle one day.
Atreyu is very social and loves talking to people. He would do well in a two-parent household, with a structured environment. But most importantly a family who is loving and patient.
