Goose

Dog Name: Goose Approximate Age: 2 years Gender: Male Dog friendly: Yes Cat friendly: Yes Child friendly: Yes, but he is sometimes not aware of his size. House trained: Yes, but will have to be watched when first introduced to a new living environment. No accidents in the current home, but is usually supervised when unattended or is in a smaller part of the house when unattended. Crate trained: Yes. He does amazing in the crate. Eats in his crate and goes in and out with no issues. No accidents in the crate and can hold it for longer periods when crated vs alone in the home. Fence needed : very preferred because Goose is a big boy who loves to play fetch and run his energy off. He doesn’t run off necessarily outside of a fence, but he loves being in the home's current fenced yard, and he needs to be able to run off his energy. Energy level: medium to high. If he has the opportunity to be out most of the time his energy level is not bad. Especially if he gets to run his energy off outside. But he does pace around in the home when he doesn’t have the opportunity to run his energy off. Temperament: extremely friendly. Loves everyone and all dogs and cats. He’s been around many foster dogs, cats and kittens, big and small, and learns to respect their boundaries quickly. He’s very sweet with kids as well, but sometimes forgets how big he is and that he hits things with his happy tail. :) But he doesn’t typically ever jump. Foster location: Sioux Falls, SD Adoption Fee: $350 About me: Goose is a sweet, loving, and typical yellow lab! He’s a big boy with big love to give! He had a bit of a rough start to life, but that doesn’t stop him from being the sweet lover he is! He believes his duty in life is to retrieve and play fetch. Goose is gun-shy, so he would not make for a good hunting dog. He loves to go camping, to go swimming, and is currently learning better leash manners. He sometimes forgets how big and strong he is on walks. Goose currently lives with a handful of dogs and cats in the foster home and loves them all. He is an amazing boy who deserves the best home! He currently lives with another black lab named Buddy that is also available for adoption- they are the best of friends, and I do believe Goose would benefit from having another dog in the home that loves to run around and play outside. *AHCR cannot guarantee any breed/possible breed of the dogs in our care or the size they will be full grown.
