My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Goose is a loyal and protective 6-year-old Collie, German Shepherd, and Aussie mix, adopted during the pandemic. He thrives in a quiet, structured environment and is best suited for an experienced large-breed handler in a child-free home. Goose bonds deeply with his owner and is protective of his space, including the home, yard, and car. While hes not fond of most dogs, he does have a few canine friends he plays well with.

Goose has shown aggression toward strangers, including delivery people, but calms down once he determines theres no threat. For transparency, I recommend labeling him as aggressive to ensure his new owner is prepared to manage his protective nature. Hes not the right fit for someone who entertains frequently or takes their dog to social outings, but hell be an incredible companion for someone seeking a devoted and watchful friend.

Goose has a uniquely human-like personality and will be a true asset to the right home - excellent health and microchipped.
