Story
Meet Goose – Your Loyal Couch Cow
Goose is a big-hearted boy with an equally big body—sometimes a little like a bull in a china shop—but don’t be fooled. With regular exercise, this gentle giant settles into a calm, mild-mannered presence at home. He’s fully crate and potty trained, and he already knows several cues including sit, down, and housie.
Goose isn’t the kind of dog who craves constant toys or treats. Instead, what makes him shine is the soulful, earnest look in his eyes—one that seems to say he’s just waiting to find his person, the one he can give all his quiet loyalty to.
Goose is curious but gentle with feline friends and amicable with canine companions when given proper introductions. He would do best in a home with older kids or teens (16+) who can help maintain his cool-cucumber, chill vibe.
Because Goose has some skin sensitivities that flare when he’s stressed, and even engages in a little stress-related skin picking, he will thrive in a low-key, predictable environment where he can truly relax and feel secure. His skin issues have improved significantly in his current foster home, and sweaters for colder months will be warmly appreciated. He’s not a “take everywhere” dog—dog parks, shopping trips, and adventures aren’t really his thing. Goose is happiest as a faithful homebody: a loyal couch cow, a gentle protector (he knows leave it and won’t bark at guests when cued), and a steady friend.
Goose comes with a full Embark DNA breed and health profile (available on request). He has moved from shelter to foster to foster to foster for over a year now, and he so deserves to unpack his bags for good and finally know what it feels like to be home.
Could your couch and heart be the ones Goose has been patiently waiting for?
__________________________________________________________
Goose was on the euthanasia list at Michigan shelter and we were able to pull him after finding a foster at the last minute.
This guy is good with everything - dogs, kids, cats (he's afraid of them) and of course humans.
He is very high energy and large. His fosters are working with him but he does like to jump up on people so may knock young children down.
He will need someone who will be able to exercise him or that has a high energy dog who plays rough like he does.
Location: Goose is currently in a foster home.
Medical: All dogs are spayed/neutered, current on age appropriate vaccines (rabies, distemper, Leptospirosis, and Bordetella), microchipped, negative heartworm tested, given flea/tick/heartworm prevention and dewormer, and any other veterinary care that is needed prior to adoption.
Fill out an application at www.figandfriendspetrescue.org/adopt if you are interested in adopting him.
