My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Bureau of Dog Law Enforcement—Kennel License #2617

Could he do well with kids? Yes, with children 14 years and older.

Could he do well with other dogs? Yes, on a dog-by-dog basis.

Has this dog lived with cats? Unknown. [The Lycoming County SPCA does not “cat test” dogs per the Association of Shelter Veterinarian’s Guidelines for Standards of Care in Animal Shelters.]

What volunteers have to say about this animal:

Meet Goose – From Shut Down to Shine

When Goose first came to the shelter, he was a different dog—unsure of people, defensive, and deeply wary of human touch. Thanks to the patience, consistency, and love of staff and volunteers, Goose has blossomed into a joyful, affectionate, and downright irresistible companion.

Now? This boy throws himself into your arms for snuggles, politely takes treats, and loves showing off his commands—“sit,” “boop,” and more. On walks, he’s an attentive, enthusiastic partner who checks in often, even if he sometimes pulls when something exciting catches his nose.

Some of Goose’s Best Qualities:
-A true snugglebug who leans in close for affection
-Knows his commands and is eager to please
-Energetic, playful, and always up for fun
-A happy, attentive walker who loves adventures
-Improving every day in play manners with other dogs

He’s not without quirks—he may chase his tail when overstimulated, or get a little too excited during play—but he’s learning to self-regulate and signals clearly when he needs a break. With guidance and continued structure, Goose thrives.

Goose Would Do Best In a Home With:
-Kids 14+ who can handle his size and energy
-Possibly another dog—one who can keep up with his playful, high-energy style
-A family who will celebrate his goofy, affectionate spirit and continue his journey of growth

At 4 years old and 71 pounds, Goose is the best of both worlds—mature enough to know his manners, but young enough to keep life fun and full of energy. And just look at him—those bright eyes, big smile, and handsome brindle coat say it all.

Goose has already proven that with love and patience, he can bloom. Now he’s ready to do the same in a forever home.
