About Goose

Goose is a charming Bichon Frise who has had quite a journey. Rescued from a backyard breeder where he lived with over 50 dogs, he arrived in poor condition with matted fur. At around 15 years old, Goose remains spry and has a loving spirit. While he does have chronic dry eye that requires daily ointment, he manages his medication like a champ and is thriving in a foster home. Affectionate and playful, Goose loves belly rubs and cuddles, and he especially enjoys his nap time. He prefers to follow his person closely and does not like being left alone. Goose gets along well with other dogs but isn't fond of cats. While he's not quite house trained, he adapts with a belly band. If you're ready to open your heart to this sweet senior, Goose would love to find a home for his golden years. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
