About Goose

Meet Goose, a big-hearted Mastiff/Boxer mix with a gentle spirit and a striking brown and tan coat. Born on January 9, 2024, Goose tips the scale at 86 pounds, though he could use a little more weight right now. Kids light him up—he adores children and can often be found leaning in for pets or giving a happy tail wag to anyone nearby. He gets along well with other dogs and is always looking for the next friend to greet. Goose is neutered and up to date on his vaccines. Due to lack of decent care early in life, he’s now being treated for heartworms with a rescue-backed plan—his ongoing medication will be covered by the Artemis Project, even after adoption. Goose’s energy and affection never falter, and he’s looking for a home willing to give him consistency and a sense of belonging. He’s more than ready for the cozy, safe life he deserves.
