Meet Goofy! 🐾 If you're looking for a big, loveable goofball... look no further! Goofy is a young, beautiful big boy who is sure to make you smile! Despite his size, he is gentle and seems very aware of just how big he is. He loves to play, especially with dogs who match his energy, and may enjoy having an equally playful companion who's happy with the occasional chase and rough-and-tumble. He's treat motivated, handler focused and eager to please, but would benefit from basic manners training and learning to keep all four paws on the floor. He can be a little unsure of cars, loud noises and unfamiliar things, so positive exposure will help build his confidence. He is also still learning to read dogs who don't want to interact, so continuing to work on polite greetings and positive socialisation will be important. Goofy may do well with a dog-savvy cat following a slow introduction and plenty of positive reinforcement. He may also do well with kids over the age of 10. Ideally, his new owner will have breed knowledge and be prepared for the needs of a large, energetic young dog. Secure, high fencing is essential, along with plenty of physical and mental enrichment. In return, Goofy will give you plenty of love, laughs and his signature goofy charm! 🩷
