What WeRescue Scout knows about Gatsby
Gatsby is a playful 2-month-old shepherd-terrier mix who thrives on activity, socialization, and training—he needs an adopter with time to manage frequent potty breaks and exercise throughout the day, ideally someone who can attend obedience classes and introduce him to other dogs and new experiences. A household with flexibility to support a growing puppy's vaccination schedule and developmental needs will help him settle in and become the well-socialized companion he's looking to be.
Good to know
- Requires multiple daily potty breaks and exercise; standard 8-hour workday without midday care arrangement is not feasible
- Puppy vaccination series incomplete; adopter must continue remaining vaccines on schedule
- Not yet housetrained; will need patient training support

Lucky Dog Animal Rescue
Foster BasedSince our founding in May 2009, Lucky Dog has rescued more than 34,500 at-risk dogs and cats. We partner with overcrowded and under-resourced shelters to ensure all adoptable animals have a chance at a loving forever home. Our foster-based adoption program is located in the DC metro area. Our foster animals come to adoption events on the weekends where they can meet prospective adopters, but can also meet with prospective adopters outside of events. Our volunteer adoption counsellors help adopters navigate the adoption process and can make suggestions if needed!
Lucky Dog's South Carolina Rescue Campus is located in Florence County and serves as a transport hub where animals receive the veterinary care they need prior to moving into our adoption program. We also provide low cost spay/neuter for our community as well as free vaccine and microchip clinics. Our Rescue Campus opened a dedicated cat building in June 2026 called "Cat Crossing" to compliment "Stopover Station" where our dogs reside while they wait for transport. We also have a Ringworm Treatment Center, ICU, and vet clinic.
