Meet Gouda. He showed up as a stray, severely underweight, but has steadily regained his health thanks to some good meals and plenty of care. At roughly five years old, he is still discovering the joys of toys and play, and seems to enjoy every second of it now that he's feeling stronger. Gouda thrives on human company—he loves treats, gives out kisses, and is happiest when someone is petting or scratching him. It’s clear he hungers for affection and attention, and he soaks it all up whenever he gets the chance. He is not suited for homes with cats or other dogs. He is still working on house training but is eager to please and loves being around people. Gouda is ready for a new beginning and a family to call his own. Ready to meet your new best friend?
