If you're looking for an absolute superstar of a dog, look no further. Goose is your guy! Found abandoned in east Austin, Goose quickly adapted to life with his foster family, who call him "one of the most fantastic dogs we've ever known." This 65-pound happy-go-lucky two-year-old has a tail that's always wagging, and he's genuinely so happy to be your pal and spend time with you. Goose is the perfect mix of playful and sweet; adventurous and affectionate; curious and content. He is a master cuddler and will sleep right next to you on the couch with his head in your lap or even spoon you like a human. He's so floppy and squishy and loooooves to be close to his people.
Goose also LOVES playing with other dogs and takes their commands and direction beautifully. He has a knack for reading the room, listening to other dogs' needs, and matching their play style. And when his doggy pals need a rest (or his people need to work or do chores), he is happy to go into his toy box and pull out toys or a favorite bone to entertain himself. He also loves to look out the window and just watch the birds and squirrels.
Goose is intelligent and a quick learner. In fact, his foster mom thinks he would do amazingly well in advanced training/skills classes or even potentially as a service dog. He's treat-motivated and is crate- and leash-trained. His ideal home is one where he has a doggy friend(s) to play with, a backyard to play fetch in, and humans ready to snuggle. Goose has had gentle interactions with children, and though he hasn't been officially tested with cats, he has the potential to live successfully with them given proper introductions.
If you're ready for a superstar in your life, Goose was born to play the role. Just look at those handsome headshots! And if you want to swoon some more, check out his foster's Insta at www.instagram.com/bakersfosters!
