GOOSE - BORDER COLLIE / PIT BULL TERRIER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Border Collie / Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat). We've had Goose since July of 2023. Since having him, and watching him grow and mature, we've come to the realization that he may be hard of hearing. Either that, or he just has really bad selective hearing. He doesn't seem to respond to his name when he is called on, or even whistled at. He does really well with all 5 of our personal dogs, our other foster dog, and even the small dog. He gets along with cats and kids of all ages. He is a pretty mellow dog, but on the other hand, will get the zoomies. He isn't a jumper, but a 6 foot fence or taller would be ideal. He is a very tall dog, but on the leaner side. He is treat motivated when it's treats that he likes. He will sit when you push his rear end down, and will give you his paw. He is crate trained, but will let you know when he wants out. He is used to eating in his crate as we feed all of our dogs in their crates. He loves to cuddle with my husband on the couch when it is time to settle in for the evening. He does get crated when we are going to be gone for an extended amount of time. He has been known to chew on things such as the couch cushion, or mail that we've had laying on the table. He is potty trained, but can have an accident due to human error and no fault of his own. He's a goofy guy and always has us laughing. He would do best in a home with or without other pets, but would recommend another dog to play with. An apartment would be ok, too. He is completely up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and neutered. As with any dog, a meet and greet is a must.
