About Gatsby

Gatsby has been waiting since March, and somehow, he's still waiting. This big, handsome 3-year-old tuxedo boy radiates teddy bear energy and has a heart full of love. After months in our rescue, he remains one of our longest residents. It's hard to understand why this incredibly sweet boy hasn't found his forever home yet. At first, Gatsby might seem a bit reserved, taking his time to warm up to new people. But once he trusts you, consider yourself his person. He loves to be close to those he bonds with, always wanting to share the space next to you — whether that's tucked under your arm or resting a paw on you as if to say, "Please don't go anywhere." This boy is a dedicated cuddler. Not only does he enjoy curling up next to you, but he’ll also flop over to ask for belly rubs and shower you with affection. Gatsby is playful and curious, with just the right touch of stubbornness that adds to his charm. It breaks our hearts to see how much love Gatsby has to give and how long he’s waited for someone to reciprocate. He doesn’t require much; just a person to call his own, a comforting lap to curl up in, and a cozy side to fall asleep against. He's already three years old, and while he's safe and loved in rescue, Gatsby deserves so much more than temporary shelter. Please don't let him go overlooked any longer. Somewhere out there is someone who needs this big, cuddly teddy bear just as much as he needs them. Could you be the reason Gatsby's long wait finally comes to an end? What are you waiting for?
