Goose is happy exuberance on four paws! A perfect 10 on the active and handsome scale, he’s about two years old and a tall trim athletic 80ish pounds. Goose went on an unsupervised adventure and ended up with a ride in the puppy paddy wagon to the shelter.
Goose is relishing the active life in his foster home with daily runs, outdoor adventures, swims, and lots of dogs to play with who find him an easy going pal. Cats are happy he ignores them. Goose is house trained, crate trained and quite good with his basic commands wearing his training collar. Ditto for leash walking. He’s a larger tall dog who is an exuberant greeter. He’s very affectionate and loves everyone, but would be overwhelming for younger children.
Goose’s foster mom adds:
“Goose is very outgoing, fearless, and athletic. He made his way to the top of my tall stack of hay bales and came happily bounding down when called! There are many possibilities for his future: He would be a very good running partner, hiking buddy or could do most dog sports due to his athleticism.
“Goose’s future family needs to be active, have lots of patience and must be willing to go to obedience classes with him. He is food motivated so attentive during training. He needs lots of exercise and needs his mind engaged. He would do well if there was a playmate for him, but it needs to be a dog of comparable size and energy as he is big and strong. He is a loving dog and would bond well with someone willing commit their time and energy for him.”
If you’re Lab savvy active Lab lover eager to bring out the best in a best friend-in-waiting, Goose would love to meet you!
NOTE: Goose is very athletic and requires a home with a yard that has at least a six foot wooden fence with the smooth side facing the yard. He can easily go over a shorter one and can climb chain link. An apartment or townhome is not suitable for Goose.
