Goose

Goldendoodle Redbone Coonhound

Male, Young

Hoagland, IN

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

This sweet dog showed up in my yard one day and I ended up discovering he belonged to an owner who was likely too busy to take care of him. He had ran away from home, as he has done multiple times before. I am battling pretty severe depression and anxiety which has become a daily struggle for me. Unfortunately, I believed this would help me but Goose has too much energy and I cant keep up with him. An ideal home for Goose would be a large fenced in yard with a family who can treat him well. He will be with a dog trainer this week and likely next who is going to work closely with him even though he is already very well behaved. He will have all shots up to date, all tests done for parasites, etc. He will also be neutered by the time he is adopted. I am scheduling that appointment now. This dog is incredibly kind and sweet. He just wants to play all the time and I can't keep up. It really saddens me to say it because I want him in a good home, I just cant give him what he needs.

Story

Attn: I get messages citing the "doodle". Goose is NOT a doodle. He is a mix. Please do not message if you are looking for a doodle. This sweet dog showed up in my yard one day and I ended up discovering he belonged to an owner who wasn't taking care of him. He had ran away from home and a few experts around me believe it was due to him being underfed and under-loved by his original person. I am battling pretty severe depression and anxiety which has become a daily struggle for me. Unfortunately, I believed this would help me but Goose has alot of energy and I cant keep up with him. An ideal home for Goose would be a large fenced in yard. He is with a dog trainer this week who is going to work closely with him even though he is already very well behaved. I just got all his shots up to date and all tests done for parasites. He will be neutered by the time he is adopted at your request, plus a food and water bowl, organic food, toys, and anything else you need to get started.

Story

I am 1 year and 4 months old (as of May 2024). I am energetic and my favorite thing is running as fast as physically possible. Adoption includes 2 bark boxes and a small cage - but a new tray is needed, I tried to eat mine. My shots are due, I go to Humane Fort Wayne Clinic. I can be completely caught up on vaccinations and have 6 months of flee protection for about $250 (why I do not have an adoption fee.)

Willow

Labradoodle

New Haven, IN

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

We were given Willow from an elderly man whose wife recently came into some health issues. She was 4-5mo and full of your usual puppy energy. We blended her in with our family and cats, which she does like to chase from time to time. We committed to training her for the basics. She is house trained. She can sit, drop (a toy or object) Lay down, and shake. She can play a little too rough with children and steals their toys (and ur socks) if left out. But if she has a steady rotation of her fave squeaky toys, she does pretty well She’s great and mending in to any lifestyle. Whether we’re outside for the day or inside all day she finds a spot after wearing herself out for a few minutes. She doesn’t like car rides. She will drool and maybe vomit. Unfortunately as our schedules changed and kids got older within the last year she began to show signs of separation anxiety. We live very close by to people who complained about her excessive barking while we were not home.
