About Goose

This cute guy is Goose! Goose is a Border Collie mix that is almost a year old. Goose was brought to the shelter by his owner because financially it was getting to be too much to handle. So Goose needs to find another home. Goose has all of his vaccinations, he is heartworm negative, he has a microchip, and he has been neutered. Goose needs a home where he will be kept busy and mentally stimulated because he is a "working" dog. His family gave him great "reviews!" They said he was fine with cats, other dogs, and kids. Plenty of exercise, lots of chew toys, and a ton of love and companionship and Goose will make someone a wonderful companion and lifelong friend.
