About Gumpy
GUMPY 🐾
Small in size. Big on personality.
Hi, I’m Gumpy — and yes, I come with a little twist… I was born with just three legs.
But honestly? I’ve never let that slow me down. I run, play, zoom and keep up just like any other dog. It’s simply part of what makes me, well… me.
Born 30 October 2023 — proof that perfect doesn’t always come in the expected form.
I’m everything you’d expect from a Cavoodle — affectionate, friendly and absolutely devoted to my people. I adore human company and will happily follow you from room to room just to be part of whatever you’re doing.
I also love other dogs and get along beautifully with my canine friends. Whether it’s playtime or just hanging out, I’m easy-going and a joy to have around.
I've had no exposure to cats since being in ARK care.
At 7.2 kgs, I’m the perfect size — not too big, not too small — and my low-shedding coat makes me an easy addition to most homes.
Oh, and my name? Gumpy. I think it’s because I do things a little differently… and everyone seems to love me for it.

I’m not looking for sympathy — just a family who will love me for the happy, delightful little dog I am.
