Age: Gatsby is a 1 year, 11-month-old male Border collie and Alaskan Husky mix

Personality: Extroverted, confident, playful, social, chatty, goofy

Highlights: Gatsby is a social, confident and playful pup with a lot of potential. JCAS staff believe he may not have had much training or socialization with other dogs before his arrival at the shelter, Gatsby has made great strides. He loves to go on walks and play, so an adoptive home should be prepared to help him expel his physical energy and provide mental stimulation. Gatsby enjoys running in the yard with his canine companions but he can sometimes be selective with his playmates, so we recommend meet-and-greets between any dogs in the household prior to adoption.

Because Gatsby has been in JCAS’ care for more than 100 days, his adoption fee has been waived (please note, licensing fees apply).

Availability: Gatsby is available at the Jackson County Animal Shelter, 5595 S. Pacific Hwy., Phoenix. The shelter is open 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Tuesday-Friday and noon – 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Walk-ins welcomed. No appointment needed. View Jackson County’s adoptable pets at jacksoncountyor.gov/pets.
