Hi there. I’m Goose. And yes - I am, in fact, an absolute goose.

I’m a big, handsome black boy with a soft heart and an even softer neck (which, by the way, is perfect for scratching - I highly recommend you try it). I’m a champion snuggler, a full-body leaner, and when I get excited? Oh, you’re in for a treat. I perform the most impressive tornado spins you’ve ever seen. Pure athletic artistry. Zero dignity. Maximum joy.

Now, I do take a little time to warm up to new people. I’ve had a bit of a tough past, so I’m looking for someone patient and understanding who can show me that people aren’t so scary - and that love is actually a really wonderful thing. (Pro tip: if you come bearing BBQ chicken… we might just become best friends immediately.)

Because of this, I’d really thrive in a home with space - both inside and out. A larger home and backyard would give me the opportunity to take myself off to a safe, quiet spot when I need a little break, helping me feel more comfortable and secure.

I’d prefer to be your one-and-only canine companion, and I’m best suited to a home without kids. I’ve got a big personality and sometimes my excitement can be a bit much, so a calm, predictable environment will help me be my best self.

One of my absolute favourite things is enrichment time. Puzzles! Snuffle mats! Brain games! I get so delightfully focused you’d think I was studying for finals. I’m also a clever boy and currently learning tricks - one of my favourites (unsurprisingly) is spin.

And here’s the best part… once you earn my trust, oh boy, you are in for a treat. I LOVE my people. I’m talking full-body leans, snuggles, kisses, and those iconic excited spins just for you. It might take a little time to get there, but I promise it’s so, so worth it.

I’ll be turning 7 in 2026, and my only wish is to find my very own humans — the kind who see past my goofy spins and into the big, loving heart underneath. I may be entering my “silver fox” era, but I’ve still got so much love (and silliness) left to give.

If you’ve got a Goose-shaped space in your heart and home, I promise to fill it with loyalty, laughter, and the occasional dramatic spin.

Honk if you love me. 🖤
