About Goose

Meet Goose, a delightful 12-week-old puppy bursting with personality. Weighing in at 20 lbs, this male is a mix of Labrador and Pit Bull, embodying puppy joy wrapped in a squishy form. Goose was rescued from Arkansas at just three weeks old, along with his eight siblings. While we don’t know much about his parents, his playful charm is unmistakable. He explores his world with enthusiasm, treating everything he finds as potential snacks—whether that's oysters, sticks, or rocks. His confidence is contagious; no challenge is too big for him, not even navigating flights of stairs. While he may be a handful, Goose is making great strides in training and has already grasped 'sit' and is working hard on potty training. He thrives in a lively environment, loves to frolic with kids and other dogs, and adores cuddling after playtime. In his previous foster home, Goose even showed he can cohabitate well with a resident cat. For Goose's health and safety as he completes his vaccinations, a private outdoor space is crucial until he’s 16 weeks old. Ideally, his new family would have another dog and live within an hour of Philadelphia to accommodate upcoming vet visits. If you're ready for a squishy adventure buddy with a huge heart, Goose is waiting for you! Your new best friend is just one click away.
