My story

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

Adoptable in: MA, RI, NH, CT, and VT

Good with dogs: Yes
Good with cats: Unknown, likely yes
Good with kids: Yes, dog savvy children
Crate trained: Yes
House Trained: Yes

Gatlin is an adorable, puppy with stunning eyes and a personality as entertaining as it is lovable. Sure, he might occasionally trip over his own feet, but he does it with style.

Gatlin has done wonderfully with other dogs, playing enthusiastically when they’re in the mood and happily entertaining himself with a toy (a squeaky ball is his favorite) when they’re not. He might even play fetch, though whether or not he’ll bring the ball back is always a surprise! While he enjoys running around with other pups, he’s more of a casual jogger than a sprinter.

This sweet boy is crate-trained and comfortable overnight in his crate. As a puppy, he’s easy to tire out—after some playtime, he’s ready for a nap or a quiet session chewing on a toy.

Gatlin has been fostered with another pup, and they’ve had a blast playing together. He’s also done well in group settings with multiple dogs running around. Gatlin has been great with kids, showering them with kisses. That said, he’s still learning not to crawl into laps or jump up uninvited, so supervision is recommended with younger children.

He’s making progress on leash training and will potty while walking, though he pulls a little when excited—he just needs more practice. With a little patience and love, Gatlin is sure to grow into the perfect companion.

Ready to add some puppy charm to your life? Gatlin can’t wait to meet you!

More about this rescue

Our mission at Last Hope K9 Rescue is to save every possible dog we can from being euthanized within high-volume kill shelters throughout the U.S.

As the literal “last hope” of nearly every animal we serve, we work tirelessly to place each one within a stable, loving environment that can act as either their forever home, or the gateway to their forever home. We also strive to ensure that all of our adoptions and foster placements are the optimal fit for everyone involved, including our dogs. This leads to our second goal: enriching human lives through canine companionship. To us, you can’t have one without the other.

Lastly, we promote animal welfare by lobbying important initiatives that both protect and give voice to the voiceless. By fostering an environment of collaboration with other organizations that share our goals, and working together instead of in competition, we find that we accomplish more.
