Goose is a sweetheart of a Cocker Spaniel-Basset boy who just wants to be loved. His name truly fits him — he’s full of personality, goofy charm, and loyalty once he bonds with you.
Goose has proven himself to be playful with other dogs — from playful puppies to calm seniors — and even enjoyed a day-long foster home visit with a Chihuahua and two other Cockers without a single issue. He’s happiest when he can curl up next to his person on the sofa or snuggle in bed at night.
This boy thrives on routine and companionship. He sleeps quietly in his crate overnight but isn’t a fan of being in one during the day for long stretches — he wants to be part of the action! Goose is also an enthusiastic “watchdog” and will let you know when something (or someone) moves outside, so apartment life isn’t the best fit for him.
Goose has had a rocky past and is sometimes misunderstood, but with patience, consistency, and respect for his boundaries, he shines. He is a loyal companion through and through. He loves a human hand on his soft coat, but has some stuggles with ear cleaning and gentle grooming.
Goose would do best in a calm home with a confident adopter who understands dog behavior, can provide structure, and wants a loyal sidekick who will always keep them company. With the right match, Goose promises to be the most devoted and loving friend you could ask for.
