My story

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

All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, shots current (DHPP, Bordetella and Rabies where applicable), dewormed, flea and tick treated, and microchipped. 

* If you are interested in a dog, please first read the biography on the dog (keep scrolling down for the bio!) and then go to our website, www.dpsrescue.com for an application. Our adoption fees vary. Each biography will specifically list the adoption fee.



Adoption Fee: $600

 

Gatsby is a 1 year old Shiba Inu x Corgi mix who is looking for his Daisy! Could you be his next party co host? Gatsby came to us from the shores of New York’s highest class (ok we admit he came from the shelter) but he’s ready to start his new fabulous life with you! Gatsby is full of curiosity, sass, and smiles which he uses to brighten any room he enters. This handsome boy can’t wait to meet and charm you. 

  

Gatsby is the world’s most playful, happy, and loving dog. He loves affection almost as much as he loves toys and just about everything else. Gatsby doesn’t have a shy bone in his body and takes to new environments with ease. He loves his people and he isn’t afraid to show it (Mama’s Boy)! He loves being wherever you are but he is also happy to keep himself occupied when need be. He has discovered a love of launching himself onto the toy bin, picking out the lucky toys of the day. He is very smart and food motivated as well, which will make training an endless fun adventure for his lucky forever home. Gatsby is the perfect size for every adventure. Hiking? He’s strapping on his backpack and sunglasses. Movie night? He’s cuddling up with some paw-p corn. Beach day? He’s got his tanning lotion! Gatsby wants to do it all with his forever people. 

Gatsby starts his day at 7 AM with a morning walk before breakfast. He loves his food so he polishes it off quickly before settling down as his foster people get ready for the day. He gets a few short walks during the day to get his zoomies out and for the bathroom. During the workday, Gatsby occupies himself as CEO of “Testing Toys INC” and keeps himself occupied with plush toys and ropes alike. He gets a long walk after the workday is over and then has dinner. After dinner, he soaks up cuddles and kisses on the couch as he watches TV or “helps” play video games. It’s a hard life but someone’s gotta do it! After one last trip outside, Gatsby goes into his crate for the night and dreams of adventures ahead. 

Gatsby has lived with dogs of all ages and sizes and gets along fabulously with all of them. He is respectful to cats as long as they know how to stand up for themselves. He adores walks and happily greets his canine neighbors as he romps around the block. Gatsby is the perfect dog for any home ready for a loving companion (or as a sibling to a resident dog). Gatsby will make you fall in love from the first moment you meet him! 

 

Gatsby is an option for just about any home, regardless of prior dog owning experience. He could be a fantastic option for a home looking for that perfect first-time dog. Kids in the home should be over the age of 7.

More about this rescue

We are passionate folks who love dogs and love people! We strive to make the most appropriate match between human and canine. Because our dogs live in foster homes we know about their temperament and personality and therefore can help families and individuals decide if the dog is a good match or not. We are excited to help people find the right pooch for them and look forward to meeting great folks and welcoming them into the DPS Family.
