Goose is five years old and has put in the work to move past a rough start in life. He’s living in a foster home where he’s gotten his confidence back, but he’s ready for a family of his own. Goose does best with dogs who are exceptionally friendly and would be happy as an only dog or with just one playmate—rowdy or grumpy dogs aren’t his style. He’s learning how to live with cats and needs slow introductions plus a clear routine. He’s great with children over five; he loves their gentle pats and responds with plenty of kisses and that deep, silly bark. At about 60 lbs, Goose sometimes forgets his size, but once he’s had a good dose of exercise and play, he’s quick to settle in. Toys and treats are highlights of his day, as are belly rubs and snuggle sessions. He’ll perform every trick he knows for a snack—sit, shake, and lay down. Crate trained, house trained, and fine with waiting in his crate for his person to come home, Goose adapts well when left alone with toys and a soft bed. He pulls a bit on the leash out of excitement but keeps improving. Goose shows his best self in a stable home with space to romp and plenty of comforting routines. He handles car rides like a pro and has no complaints about a drive-thru snack. Sensitive belly? Just go slow with new foods and Goose will be happy. He sleeps soundly, decompresses quickly, and finds joy in the simple things—blanket burrowing, rolling around, greeting his people. His foster can’t believe his progress and thinks he’ll thrive wherever he’s given stability, space, and love. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
