My story

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

F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel “The Great Gatsby” explored the theme of the American Dream, and like many of the characters in the story, our Great Gatsby has a dream too! What is it, you ask? Just to have a family and a home of his own!

Great Gatsby is a pawjama party and day trip rockstar who has been described as well- behaved, loving, and fun.

“Great Gatsby is the perfect gentleman. He loved using his big ol’ nose to sniff all kinds of things on walks. He was wonderful when meeting new people and even refrained from `hugging` them unless they invited it. He is very people oriented and food motivated. When he was on walks he was interested in passing dogs but did not pull towards them. He met our small older dog and greeted gently. He would probably do best in a home without cats or at least with a family who can train him to cohabitate peacefully with the cats in the home. He has lots of energy and is very smart and attentive. Just about the perfect dog all around.”

“Gatsby is an amazing and handsome boy that caught everyone`s attention. He just wants to be with his human no matter the activity. The Great Gatsby truly is great!”

Great Gatsby seemed to be housebroken during his sleepover, did well in the car, and loves toys. He has also done well when meeting kids. He shares his kennel with another PACC pup and has been playful and easygoing when meeting other dogs in playgroup. Ask to meet Great Gatsby today!
