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.

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
We need to rehome our beagle mix due to our older dog starting fights with him. We feel this is our best option for both of our dogs to keep everyone safe! He has been around other dogs and does great..our older dog does not like to be messed with the older he gets. He is good with kids and loves everyone. He is potty trained and crate trained. He stays in his crate when we are gone for long hours but we have been working on leaving him out while at work and does good. He sleeps in bed with us or our kids. He is a good dog who loves attention and to play. He enjoys being outside and chewing on bones. He loves going for walks. He is a great dog and deserves a great home...We want what is best for him!! He will come with his cage, E collar, leash, and dog bowls!

Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Luffy is two years old. He was born 25 November 2021 in California. His mother was an Alaskan Malamute and his father a German Shepherd. He needs someone who can give him lots of play time. He is good with kids but due to his size it is easy for him to accidentally knock over smaller kids when playing. He is good with other dogs. We have a pug that tolerates him and my sisters huskies often come over for play dates. Would not recommend him with cats or other small animals. He is kennel trained but does have separation anxiety sometimes so he needs a strong kennel otherwise it will not hold him. He needs strong chew toys and he loves playing fetch. He just does not always want to drop the ball after fetching. I will be also providing the kennel he uses as well as his toys and whatever food I have on hand. He is up to date on his rabies vaccination.
