This sweet dog showed up in my yard one day and I ended up discovering he belonged to an owner who wasn't taking care of him. He had ran away from home and a few experts around me believe it was due to him being underfed and under-loved by his original person. I am battling pretty severe depression and anxiety which has become a daily struggle for me. Unfortunately, I believed this would help me but Goose has too much energy and I cant keep up with him. An ideal home for Goose would be a large fenced in yard with a family who can treat him well. He is with a dog trainer this week who is going to work closely with him even though he is already very well behaved. I just got all his shots up to date and all tests done for parasites. He will be neutered by the time he is adopted at your request, plus a food and water bowl, organic food, toys, and anything else you need to get started. He deserves the best and I can't give him that. He's a mix - doodle / terrier / cattle dog.
