Meet Goose, a quirky Miniature Australian Shepherd with plenty of opinions and a touch of extra fluff these days. At about eight and a half, Goose has decided that sharing isn't really his thing—he likes being the supervisor and prefers the spotlight squarely on him. He does tolerate other dogs and cats, but tries to take charge and herd, especially with cats, which doesn’t always work out. For this reason, Goose is best suited for a home where he'll be the only animal, unless you’re highly experienced at managing animal introductions and personalities. If you have a submissive female dog, a carefully managed meeting could work, but Goose wants you to know he enjoys undivided attention. Goose is uneasy when first meeting strangers but warms up fast if treats are involved. Young children throw him off, so he’s looking for a home with adults or older, dog-savvy kids. Once he clues into your routine, he’s game for belly rubs, car rides, and sticking by your side wherever you go. He isn’t a fan of vet visits but is muzzle trained and manageable with medication if absolutely necessary. He thrives on affection, daily walks, and being your main companion. Born December 23, Goose is a Capricorn, which tracks—he likes things his way. Ready to make a fuss over Goose? Your new best friend is just one click away.
