Meet Goose! This spirited three-year-old Australian Cattle Dog mix from Berkeley, CA, radiates a delightful blend of speckled charm and boundless energy. With her tan and white coat dappled like a giraffe, Goose showcases 55 pounds of affection, curiosity, and playful antics. She thrives in open spaces, reveling in doggy daycare, group hikes, and runs in her favorite 17-acre off-leash park. Evenings find her transformed into a snugglebug, ready to curl up by your side. Goose has undergone formal training and knows multiple commands such as sit, come, leave it, touch, and place. Her recall skills are sharp, and she is eager to please, especially for treats. However, she's sensitive to urban stimuli like scooters and sudden movements. Goose experienced a bite incident due to being startled, emphasizing her need for a calm, predictable home. She would thrive in a rural setting with a spacious, secure yard and a couple of friendly dogs. Goose is good with older kids but would be best in a home without young children, as she can be jumpy and mouthy when excited. Her high prey drive makes her likely to chase cats, squirrels, and birds, although she's learning to coexist with farm cats and chickens in a nurturing setting. Goose is crate trained, house-trained, vaccinated, spayed, and microchipped. She'll come with her crate, cozy bed, favorite stuffies, and enrichment toys. Could your peaceful, dog-loving home be the perfect match for Goose's big heart? Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
