My name is
Goose!

3 year old mixed breed (shelter said hound/shepherd mix). Adopted @ 8 weeks from a shelter in Illinois. He can be such a sweet dog - so friendly, loves to cuddle, is playful, & loves every human he meets! He is happy being both active & lazy - loves walks, hikes, & playing outside, but can also be a huge couch potato.
Reasons for rehoming:
- Has never learned to live with our two cats (had before we got him).
- intense separation anxiety and unhealthy attachment. Extremely attached to me & acts like my fiance (his other owner) is a threat at times. He will resource guard me. He has bitten my fiance before while very escalated and stressed. it hasn't happened in a while & wasn't bad, but important to note. We have worked with vets (meds), group trainers, & private trainers but it hasn't improved. Because of the unhealthy dynamic that has formed, we think he would be much happier in a different home with an experienced owner. He is really such a sweet dog and has so much love to give.
