Goose is a 2 year old male Hound dog, and is as sweet as he can be! He loves food and treats, and using his nose. Goose doesn't seem to mind other dogs, but would probably prefer chasing other animals. Goose can also be a little shy at first, but it doesn't take him long to warm up. If you love the sounds and antics of Hounds, Goose might be your perfect match!  Please contact Van Buren County Animal Control at 269-621-4624 or visit the shelter at 58040 County Road 681, Hartford, MI 49057 to learn more about this great guy, Goose!
