The Gospel According to Goob Gooberson Legend tells of a creature born one moonlit February night in 2025, somewhere between a dream and a snack break. His name: Goob Gooberson - whispered in reverence by toddlers, grandmothers, and postal workers alike. At 43 pounds, Goob is roughly the size and density of joy itself. He's a dog, yes, but also a concept - the physical manifestation of optimism, wrapped in fur, powered by the belief that strangers are just best friends he hasn't drooled on yet. He has never met a person he didn't love immediately and completely. Goob's greeting ritual involves a smile so wide it bends space-time, followed by a dance that can only be described as "emotional tap shoes on a trampoline." At home, he is uncannily perfect - a house guest who never has accidents, a gentleman who announces his bathroom needs by quietly standing at the door like a small Victorian butler. At night, he tucks himself into his crate, sighs once like an artist finishing a masterpiece, and drifts to sleep, perhaps dreaming of tennis balls that sing. Goob is a Velcro soul - magnetically attached to his humans, always nearby, orbiting your life like a happy moon. He does not destroy furniture, harbor grudges, or question your taste in television. He just... loves. Utterly. He's neutered, vaccinated, and vetted - medically flawless, emotionally extravagant. His only flaw is cats: to Goob, they are mysterious gods whose movements demand pursuit, so his ideal home is gloriously feline-free. Adopting Goob is not a decision; it's a calling. It's saying yes to a life with a small, loyal being who will follow you through every door, forgive you before you err, and look at you as though you invented kindness. He isn't just a dog. He's a cosmic event in a leash-sized package - a once-in-a-lifetime Goob. PLEASE READ BELOW: If you are interested in meeting and/or adopting, the first step is to complete an application and read all of our FAQs: https://www.takepawsrescue.org/adopt Please note: Information to determine if you might be a match for one of our animals can only be found on our application. *An inquiry, questions or introduction through Petfinder is NOT an application* All known details about our animals are posted on their profile and updated daily. Other info will be discussed in detail with the foster during the application review process. Due to the high volume of introductions/questions received we ask you to submit an application (that application can be used for any dog with Take Paws Rescue). The adoption fee for adult dogs covers age appropriate vaccinations, microchip, spay/neuter if not yet performed, heartworm test & appropriate heartworm treatment by the rescue's vet. All dogs in our care are also kept up-to-date on HW/Flea Prevention. For more on this, or for additional information, including the adoption process and our adoption fee scale for all our adoptable pets (including an explanation about Benefactor Dogs), please see our FAQs page: https://www.takepawsrescue.org/faq Any breed labels used by Take Paws Rescue, its employees/volunteers, or on vet records provided cannot be guaranteed. Breed labels are given based on information obtained during intake and/or best guesses based on appearance and/or temperament of the dogs and Take Paws Rescue gives no assurance to the accuracy of these labels. Labels are necessary for postings to many animal networking sites, such as our website, Chewy, Pet Finder, and others. These are in no way a guarantee. Additionally, exact age and potential size cannot be guaranteed. ***Take Paws Rescue saves dogs from high-kill shelters across the South, owner surrenders, and discarded dogs with uncertain futures. All of our animals live in foster homes where they are socialized, and well cared for. An application will be required to make sure it's the perfect match!
