Gypsy (FOSTER NEEDED)'s Story
Estimated DOB: 03/12/2026
Breed: Boxer/Pittie mix
Weight: 28lbs - expected to be around 35lbs full grown!
Adoption fee: $350
Gypsy is a 7–8-month-old Boxer mix with a BIG personality and a face that will keep you laughing! Her signature move? Getting her lips stuck on her teeth! As a result, practically every picture of Gypsy looks different, and you never know what silly expression she’ll make next! She’s truly one of a kind, and she’s sure to bring plenty of laughter and love into her future home!
But Gypsy is so much more than her hilarious looks! She is VERY friendly, outgoing, and affectionate! She loves attention, enjoys being around people, and absolutely LOVES other dogs! She gets along wonderfully with dogs of all sizes, from a whopping 110-pound dog to the 25-pound dog she lives with in her foster home. She loves to play and would thrive in a home with another young, playful pup who can keep up with her puppy antics and help show her the ropes.
But don't let her playful side fool you! Gypsy also knows how to settle down and relax when it's time to take a break. If you're looking for a canine companion for your current dog, Gypsy would LOVE to be considered!
Gypsy would also be an AMAZING candidate for doggy daycare! She is incredibly social, loves meeting canine friends, and enjoys playing with other dogs. If you're someone who enjoys giving your dog opportunities to socialize and play with friends at daycare, Gypsy would be thrilled to join in on the fun! With her outgoing personality and love for playtime, she could be the perfect companion for someone looking for a dog to include in their social adventures!
One of the most impressive things about Gypsy is how well she handles the world around her! Despite spending almost her entire young life in a shelter, she has attended a 5K event with over 500 people and a trick-or-treating event with over 1,000 people, and she did AMAZING at both! She is not reactive toward people or other dogs while out on walks, making her a wonderful companion for adventures. She can be a little bashful when meeting someone new, but a few treats and some sweet baby talk are all it takes to win her over! Once she warms up, her affectionate personality shines through. She is also EXTREMELY docile and submissive toward people, making her a very gentle girl.
Gypsy has been working hard with her foster mom to learn her manners and become the best girl she can be! She already knows SIT and takes treats gently. She rides well in the car, is GREAT for grooming, and even lets her foster mom clip all of her toenails by herself! She is also wonderfully cooperative when being handled. Her foster can touch her toes, mouth, ears, and tail without any fuss, which will be a huge plus for future vet visits and routine care!
Gypsy is also doing GREAT with a routine! Her current schedule consists of either going to work with her foster mom or staying home in her crate while her foster mom works, which is typically around 8 hours. She does well with this routine and is very good about holding her potty overnight and while crated during the day! While she isn't 100% potty trained just yet, she is making great progress and is well on her way.
She would be a wonderful potential match for a family with a standard 9-to-5 work schedule! She would also be wonderful for someone who works from home as she is very capable of self entertaining and or just napping in the dog bed next to her foster mom while she works! She’s not loud or super demanding making her a perfect companion for a work from home family!
Whether she's accompanying you on adventures or relaxing in her crate while you're at work, Gypsy is learning how to be a well-rounded pup who can adapt to different lifestyles. Speaking of different lifestyles, if you are someone who owns a home and has a fenced in yard, she is not an escape artist and can easily be contained by a 4ft chain link fence! She is also not a hole digger and won’t be rearranging your landscaping!
Gypsy is still a young puppy who is learning about the world. She is currently working on being less mouthy and learning not to jump on people when she gets excited.
Like any young dog, she will need continued training, patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement in her forever home to help her continue to grow and thrive. The good news? She is already crate trained and is making progress every day with her foster mom! She has SO much potential, and with a family willing to invest in her continued growth, she is going to make an amazing companion!
Gypsy has spent far too much of her puppyhood waiting for her chance at a real home. She deserves a family who will embrace her goofy personality, shower her with affection, give her plenty of opportunities to play and explore, and help her learn everything she needs to know about being a beloved family member!
If you're looking for a silly, social, affectionate puppy who can join you on adventures, play with her canine siblings, and then happily curl up and relax when the fun is over, Gypsy might just be your girl! She has so much love to give, and it's time for her to find the family she's been waiting for!

Not sure if Gypsy is the perfect fit for your family? Try FOSTER-TO-ADOPT!
We know bringing a new dog into your family is a big decision, and we want to help you find the most perfect match! Our foster-to-adopt program gives you 7 days to bring Gypsy home and see how she fits into your family, routine, and lifestyle.
If everything goes well and you fall in love with her (which we have a feeling you will!), you can officially adopt her! If you realize she isn't the right fit for your family, that's completely okay, too! You can return her to us or even explore fostering or adopting another furbaby who may be a better match.
We pride ourselves on having a 0% return rate and want to do everything we can to ensure every dog finds the right forever home!
And because Gypsy is already living in a foster home rather than a shelter, we can share so much more information about her personality, daily routine, habits, and needs. This gives us a wonderful opportunity to help you determine whether Gypsy is the right match for your family before making a lifelong commitment!
Additionally, Gypsy is looking for a vacation foster from Thursday, October 22nd through Monday, October 26th if you’re interested in making sure she’s a good fit!
