Story
Goose loves a pup cup, but what he really wants for Christmas is a family to love him forever! His foster mom loves him to pieces, but he's been waiting for a long time to find his people and it just doesn't make sense! Here's the good, the bad, and the Goosey about our favorite guy!: 2 years old, 45 pounds Let's GOOOOOOOOO! Goose is always happy and always ready for adventure. He'd love an active family that will keep him busy! He can be a bit of a bull in a china shop... but a little bit of chaos is fun, right?? (Keep your glassware and kiddos up high!) Goosey is perfectly crate and potty trained! Goose knows some basic commands, but would LOVE to learn more! Focusing is hard for this goofy guy, but he wants to please and with a dedicated owner, he would thrive! Goose LOVES his doggy friends! His ideal bestie is someone who loves to party just as much as him, so let's do a meet and greet! If you think you have a Goose-shaped hole in your life, why not submit an adoption request to meet this happy go lucky guy? https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/PAD/Dog
