This goofy handsome boy was thrown from a moving car but has retained his sweet good nature. Goose loves meal time and playing with toys and always wants to be first in line for treats. He does guard his crate or dog bed from dominant dogs and his bark is a strong one, but he is not aggressive . In fact Goose is bullied by the foster's resident dog and that is why we must find him a peaceful caring new foster or new home. Goose likes to be center of attention but if you ignore him for a few minutes he will settle down and play in his bed with his toys. This is a very sweet dog! His foster writes, "Goose likes to snuggle, doesn't mind baths and loves to play in the water bucket. He loves a water hose and swimming pool in the summer. He will play fetch with most any item and bring it back. He always has a smile on his face even when he doesn't feel great. He knows how to sit, lay down and get his toys (he has one in particular we call Goose’s baby) and knows 'night night' means time to sleep. He is for the most part house trained and crate trained and will let you know when he has to go out." He is extremely inquisitive and has learned to open cabinets, go into closets and showers looking to see what is inside them. His foster says, "Goose is extremely funny to be around His favorite past time is trying to help wash dishes or if you leave the bathroom door open he will get into the shower with you as he loves to play in water!" Goose will need to live with a submissive dog if you have already have dog since we don't want him bullied. No young kids since he will herd them. Now for the medical details: Goose has hereditary bilateral hip dysplasia that is and anal paralysis due to being thrown, but he is bowl trained if kept on a lower protein low fat diet; we can discuss with you. He takes gabapetin, Galaprant and another long acting pain med daily but the vet says he is extremely healthy otherwise. We provide full medical records. He needs a fenced yard to avoid taking long walks and to be able to bask in the sun. Goose needs mental stimulation since he is highly intelligent. His foster will give you lost of suggestions. This is a lovely sweet dog for a special caring household.
