HEADLINER: Meet: Goofy (#HeshouldofbeenaPluto ) Nicknames he loves too-: Goof-a-Loof-us, Goof-Goof

Goofy is the Dog you want! He has been the favorite foster this year!!! He will win the Best Friend Award once he is adopted, and you will fall in love.

HISTORY: Goofy was picked up at Washington County Humane Society as an Owner Surrender, He came in with 2 other dogs. Goofy has recently been neutered, is crate trained, house trained and just a good dog.

PERSONALITY: Goofy’s name describes him perfectly, he is gangly when he runs, loves his toys, loves to sleep right up against you, and loves to be loved on. He loves to play with a ball and is the perfect dog to watch a movie with on a cold day with lots of blankets. Goofy attended school one day and did great with lots of meet and greets, he is just such a good boy.

FAVORITE ACTIVITIES: Goofy’s favorite activity is eating, he is pretty skinny, so he is always hungry. Other than eating he loves to run, (and boy is he fast) he likes to take walks, play ball, lay on your lap, watch TV, and take naps. Goofy is just such a good boy, he loves car rides. He knows sit, come, paw and learns quickly.

MEDICAL ISSUES: Goofy has no medical issues at all. He is healthy, just a little skinny. He needs someone to fatten him up.

WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST KIND OF HOME: Goofy would love a home with Humans who are going to love him up, take him places, and include him in everything. He loves to be free in the house, but if you tell him to go to his crate, he will go right to it. He loves to work for treats. Goofy was owner surrendered with 2 other dogs, so he is used to other dogs being around him. He is curious about cats but has not mingled with them yet, they stay away from him. If he could have a Human all to himself, he would be in heaven, but also, he would be more than willing to share is love too with another fur friend.
