About Gatsby

Meet Gatsby, a sweet and playful 11-month-old German Shepherd mix with a lustrous coat like her mama, Roxie! Gatsby is proving to be as smart as she is sweet and is working on her training, responding well to commands. She's a timid but oh-so-loving girl who enjoys a good game of keep-away and loves to run and play. Gatsby is also a pro at self-kenneling for bedtime and other times.

Ideal Home

Gatsby is a foster-to-adopt candidate. She was a bit fearful after a previous failed adoption (through no fault of her own), and we are diligently working with her to build her confidence. She's making wonderful progress, and we are so proud of her baby steps!

Ongoing Health

Gatsby is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped.

Training & Support

Gatsby is a smart cookie who responds to commands and will kennel herself. She is working on building her confidence, so patience and gentle encouragement will be key to her continued success.
