Meet Goose!
A spirited three-year-old Australian Cattle Dog mix whose essence is a delightful blend of speckled charm, boundless energy, and sun-soaked silliness. With her tan and white coat speckled like a giraffe and a face full of expression, Goose is 55 pounds of brains, goof, and love! She’s incredibly affectionate, curious, and energetic—true to her working-dog roots—and thrives when she has space to roam, explore, and play. Her absolute happiest moments happen in open areas with other dogs, whether she’s at doggy daycare, on group hikes, or galloping across her favorite 17-acre off-leash dog park. She’s got a floppy, cuddly side too, especially in the evenings, when she transforms into a snugglebug ready to curl up beside you! Goose has been through formal training and knows a wide variety of commands including “sit,” “come,” “leave it,” “touch,” and “place.” She has great recall and is eager to please, especially if treats are involved. Goose has a high prey drive and tends to chase cats, squirrels, and birds. That said, she's recently started coexisting peacefully with farm cats and chickens at her boarder’s rural property—proof that with the right environment and routine, she can settle into life alongside other animals. Goose will come with her crate, cozy bed, favorite stuffies, and enrichment toys—all the comforts of home, ready to go!
Ideal Home
This clever girl would flourish in a rural or countryside home with a large, securely fenced yard, another friendly dog or two, and a guardian who understands the needs of sensitive, reactive pups. Goose is good with older kids, but due to her tendency to get jumpy and mouthy when excited, a home without young children is best. Goose is highly sensitive to certain city-life triggers like scooters, skateboards, and sudden movements. She has been reactive when startled by things like people with assistive devices or rolling luggage.
Ongoing Health
Goose is vaccinated, spayed, and microchipped.
