How do I contact the shelter about GOOSE?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Happy Dogs Forever handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw GOOSE on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt GOOSE if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Happy Dogs Forever will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is GOOSE already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?

Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.

What happens if GOOSE isn't the right fit?

Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Happy Dogs Forever early rather than rehoming privately; they know GOOSE and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (FR). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.

GOOSE

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

I am a male, born in August 2024 (estimated), arrived at the shelter in November 2024. I am of medium size ✅ Vaccinated, identified, and neutered. My compatibilities: OK Dogs, OK Humans, Cats to be discovered. My story: I was found in the middle of winter with my brothers. We were all cold and needed to be sheltered quickly. Fortunately, we were all rescued and put in safety. My brothers have since had the chance to be adopted and experience family life. But I am still here... While they grow up with their families, I grow up at the shelter. The days pass and I still dream of knowing, too, the warmth of a home, the love of a family, and a real dog life. What we know about me: I am still a bit shy and intimidated by humans. Over the years, I have gained some confidence and I am slowly approaching. I am still afraid and need to be reassured to feel confident. It will take time, patience, and a lot of gentleness to learn to trust fully. With a caring family, I hope to finally come out of my shell and discover another life. Goose will need a patient family to evolve. Here are the mandatory conditions for his adoption: 👉 Presence of a fenced garden and a companion 👉 Rural or semi-rural environment 👉 Knowledge of dogs

Refuge de Luminita Je suis : Un mâle Né en août 2024 (estimation), arrivé au refuge en novembre 2024 De taille moyenne ✅ Vacciné, identifié, stérilisé Mes ententes : OK ChiensOK HumainsChats à découvrir Mon histoire : J’ai été retrouvé en plein hiver avec mes frères. Nous étions tous frigorifiés et avions besoin d’être rapidement mis à l’abri. Heureusement, nous avons tous été récupérés et mis en sécurité. Mes frères ont depuis eu la chance d’être adoptés et de découvrir la vie de famille. Mais moi, je suis toujours là… Pendant qu’ils grandissent auprès de leurs familles, moi, je grandis au refuge. Les jours passent et je rêve toujours de connaître, moi aussi, la chaleur d’un foyer, l’amour d’une famille et une vraie vie de chien. Ce que l'on sait de moi : Je suis un loulou encore assez timide et impressionné par les humains. Au fil des années, j’ai tout de même pris un peu d’assurance et je commence à m’approcher petit à petit. J’ai encore peur et j’ai besoin d’être rassuré pour me sentir en confiance. Il me faudra du temps, de la patience et beaucoup de douceur pour apprendre à faire pleinement confiance. Avec une famille bienveillante, j’espère pouvoir enfin sortir de ma coquille et découvrir une autre vie. Goose aura besoin d'une famille patiente pour évoluer. Voici les conditions obligatoires pour son adoption :👉 Présence d'un jardin clos et d'un congénère👉 Environnement rural ou semi rural👉 Connaissances des chiens Le comportement de Goose est observé dans le context

About GOOSE

What life with GOOSE looks like

GOOSE is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Happy Dogs Forever in happy dogs forever.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.
