ABOUT THIS ANIMAL:
Can you guess how I got the name Goofy?
Can you?
It's because I’m goofy! Silly people tried calling me Macaron, even Mac, but those names are too serious for a goofy boy like me!
I love to play with people and other dogs. My foster home has a lot of other dogs and puppies, and I'm friends with all of them. We love playing with toys and running on our big open field. Do you like to run too? Or even like to walk? Because I am a great running or walking buddy. I love to be at your side! I'm super loyal like that.
Do you like getting kisses? Because "give me kiss" is one of my favorite tricks! I learned it really fast too. I also know sit, lay down, shake either paw, jump-up and dance, go to bed and to wait command for my food (but I don’t like waiting for food so much). And I'm only getting started, I can learn a lot more tricks with you.
Some things scare me though, and I get nervous around new people. It can take me a little time and a few slow introductions to get over my fear, and once I do I am the biggest, most goofy cuddle bug!
Do you want to help me get over my fears and go on lots of walks together? Email my friend Joshua at JoshuaHTRescue@gmail.com to find out more about me and how you can make me part of your family.
