Goose is a husky mix who LOVES attention, exercise, playing and other dogs. He is a cuddler and always wants to be around. He would do best in an environment with another dog to keep him occupied. He can sometimes be a little too enthusiastic when playing but corrects quickly. He's a little too smart for his own good and can sometimes be an escape artist but if he has enough stimulation he's good. He escaped an abusive household about two years ago and has recovered really well, but sometimes still feels stress related to it. He has pannus and needs an eyedrop in each eye once per day, which he takes well. He's a wonderful dog and I will miss him very much- I would like to arrange to have regular visits with him, no more than once a month. He'll be a lively and sweet addition to your family!
