My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi! I am Gatsby a 2yr old, 45 lb, Pit mix looking for my forever family.  I am UTD, neutered, microchipped, house trained, crate trained, and a super duper smart/eager to please boy. 



I was born in the woods and spent the first two months of my life living out in the wild so because of that, I need a special home.  I am basically fearful of people and you can not just walk up to me and pet me, I need to get to know you will not hurt me first.  Because of that, we want to find an adopter who will be patient and will continue working with his trainer, this will be included with his adoption at no extra cost.  So living in the Orlando area is best.  Once I know and trust you I am your best friend and I will give you my heart and soul!!!  



I currently live with a pack of pups and I do great with dogs after proper introductions.  I have been through training and boarding at the facility to help with my social skills and confidence.   I have seen cats before and would likely do well with a confident one if you teach me how to live with them. A home without small kids would be ideal, only because I am still learning to not be so scared of things and they can be fast and noisy.  I can't wait to find my forever family, could it be you?



Adoption requirements are as such: 




  • A loving family with older kiddos to be his cuddle buddy, ball thrower, and adventure pal

  • Fenced in yard 

  • Willingness to do training sessions (covered by the rescue) 

  • No apartments  



Please note, Gatsby is part of Happy Trails Animal Rescue’s rehoming program. He has not been tested or evaluated and the information gathered is from the current owner’s personal statements regarding health and temperament. The owner is subject to placement outside of our organization. We cannot guarantee availability.
