Goober

Description

Meet Goober, an 11-week-old German Shepherd mix with a heart of gold and the sweetest pair of eyes you've ever seen, including one striking blue eye that makes him truly unforgettable. Weighing about 13 pounds now, this handsome boy is expected to grow into a medium-sized adult and is already showing what a loving, loyal companion he will become.Goober took a little time to settle into foster care, but once he realized he was safe, his sweet personality began to shine. He enjoys playing with the resident dogs and other foster puppies, squeaky toys, and enthusiastic games of tug-of-war with his siblings. Like his brother, he's also fascinated by water and loves testing his water dish by happily splashing it everywhere, much to everyone's amusement.Goober is a thoughtful little guy who likes to take in new situations before jumping in. He may hang back for a moment when meeting new people, but once he's scooped up, he melts into your arms for cuddles. He gets along well with other dogs, enjoys spending time with children, and has a gentle, affectionate nature that makes him easy to love.Like any young puppy, Goober is learning all about the world. He is making nice progress with his potty routine by going outside after naps, meals, and first thing in the morning. He enjoys relaxing in an open crate during the day and will continue building his crate skills after his neuter surgery.With a moderate energy level, Goober will be happy with daily walks, playtime, and plenty of opportunities to learn and grow. If you're looking for a sweet, playful puppy with a gentle heart, adorable quirks, and endless cuddles to share, Goober is ready to become your very best friend.If you are interested in Goober, fill out an application at this link to get the ball rolling - https://pethavenmn.org/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/The adoption fee is $550.
