Meet Oofa, aka Goofs. Goofs is a much more appropriate name for this little guy because he has so much personality. He’s around 2 years old, neutered, crate trained and great with dogs. He has yet to meet a dog he doesn’t become fast friends with. Male, female, big, small, doesn’t matter. He’ll wrestle with them all. Cats, no. He’ll wrestle a cat a little too hard.
Goofs loves his people and is very cuddly and social. He loves to grab a ball and chomp on it near you and growl. He’s very particular with people and is not a social dog outside the house. He growls at strangers and will nip if not introduced properly. Therefore, a house with few people and even fewer guests is best. If Goofs had his way, he would love to live on a farm or hobby with sheep. Herding days are the best days ever and great for mental exercise with him. He loves to herd and right now is learning how to do so and be a gentleman about it. He doesn’t quite give space like he should and still nips occasionally but is progressing after just a few lessons. A person that will continue this with him will get the highest priority for adoption.
Overall, he’s an extremely fun guy but he needs to find the right people. You will need to have experience with behavior and be willing to work with a trainer on his stranger danger and confidence in public. Small children will not be good for him. He will also require a fence as he has extremely high prey drive and if he sees something he’s gone.
Goofs is being fostered in Newport News VA. If you would like more information on Goofs you can email mcclellanka@gmail.com
