This goofy, bouncy boxer mix approaches life like every single day is a celebration thrown in his honor. He doesn’t just run, he boings. Picture a deer discovering espresso for the first time and you’re getting close. Toys? Amazing. Walks? Fantastic. You existing in the same room? Best day ever.
Gatsby has a talent for turning ordinary moments into comedy. His signature move is a full-body bounce paired with the kind of enthusiasm that makes you laugh before you even realize it. He is playful, animated, and wonderfully unaware of personal space in the most endearing way possible.
But beneath all that sparkle is a deeply affectionate dog who loves his people hard. When the excitement settles, Gatsby is more than happy to soak up attention and remind you that he’s not just the life of the party, he’s also a loyal companion.
Gatsby would thrive in a home that embraces his fun-loving spirit and gives him plenty of opportunities for play, movement, and continued learning. He’s a smart boy who will blossom with guidance and consistency, and in return, he’ll fill your home with laughter and energy.
If your idea of the perfect dog is one who greets life with confetti-level enthusiasm and keeps your days anything but boring, Gatsby is ready to make his grand entrance.
Gatsby's adoption fee is fully sponsored which means all he needs to go home is an approved application! He comes neutered, current on vaccines, and has a negative heartworm test, on heartworm prevention, and flea and tick prevention, and a microchip that we register for you.
