Goose - Sheep Dog and Poodle Dog for Adoption in Milan, Illinois

At just 1 year old and 78 pounds, Goose is a lovable Sheepadoodle who brings together playful goofball energy and the sweetest cuddle-bug personality. He enjoys stretching his long legs in a fenced yard, zooming around in bursts of joy, and soaking up attention from his favorite people. Whether he's out exploring or leaning in for affection, Goose is happiest when he's by your side.

Goose is a smart, fun, and affectionate boy who is still learning some important life skills. He does have a history of resource guarding around food and toys, so he will need a dog-savvy adopter who is committed to continuing positive training and helping him build confidence and good manners. Because of this, he may do best as the only pet in an adult-only home where he can feel secure and supported while he continues to grow.

Like many doodle breeds, Goose's beautiful coat will require regular grooming to keep him comfortable and looking his best. His future family should be prepared for routine grooming appointments and consistent coat care at home.

Goose is still young and full of potential, with a lifetime of love, learning, and adventures ahead of him. He's looking for a patient, experienced home that will appreciate his goofy charm, guide him through his training journey, and give him the stability he needs to thrive. He is in our Paws Forward Program, so he gets 3 free training sessions with Janette from Kind K9s!

Medical Note: Goose recently tested positive for Lyme disease, a tick-borne illness. Many dogs with Lyme disease never show symptoms and go on to live normal, happy lives. His adopter should continue routine veterinary care and maintain year-round flea and tick prevention. Our staff is happy to discuss his medical history and answer any questions.

Could Goose be the missing piece your family has been waiting for? Come meet this sweet, silly giant and see why everyone falls in love with him!
