About Goose

Meet Goose, a spirited 1.5-year-old Chesapeake Bay Retriever looking for a home that appreciates her playful energy. As a former stray, she has an interesting personality that's both engaging and unique. Goose thrives in active households, perfect for someone who understands the needs of a hunting breed. She’ll benefit from an environment where she can run and play—ideally with a fenced yard that allows her to zoom around safely. Goose gets along well with people, including children, making her a great family companion. However, she’s not good with cats and prefers to be the only dog in the home due to her tendency to resource guard food and doorways. Though she enjoys playing with other dogs, it's best for her safety to have a home where she’s the only pet. She's both potty and crate trained and is ready for a family of her own who will appreciate her quirks. If you’re interested in giving Goose a loving home, contact the shelter for more details or stop by for a visit. She would love to meet you and show off her skills.
