Meet Goosie, your future partner-in-crime!
Goosie is a 2 year old 20lb Dachshund mix who came to rescue with a bunch of other littles from a hoarding case. Goosie was pregnant upon arrival and gave birth to one surviving puppy. At just 2, Goosie is still a young girl herself and is now ready to find her forever home!
Due to her beginnings of likely not having a lot of love, Goosie takes a little time to warm up to humans. Once you’re in her circle, you have her full devotion! She will be in your lap, laying next to you, and even sleeping under your covers next to you like a baby (this is a non-negotiable!) Goosie is well-mannered in the home and is housebroken and crate trained.
She lives with dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes and is good with all animals! She also loves toys, the squeakier the better, as well as zoomies in the yard. Walking on leash is still pretty foreign, so she’ll need some patience as she learns this new skill. A fenced yard would be great for her in the meantime.
Goosie is located in Nashville, TN and can travel to any of our Petfinder locations!

All known information about an individual dog is provided in its listing. We do our best to provide accurate information, but adopters should understand that each home is different and the dog may behave differently in a new home. Dogs are creatures of their environment and you help make the dog what it will be. Homes considering adopting a puppy must be prepared for 1.) Flexible schedules for potty training. Puppies can only hold it for one hour per month of age (i.e. a 4-month-old puppy can only go 4 hours without a potty break). 2.) Crate training until the puppy is at least one year old to prevent chewing on inappropriate things when you can't supervise. 3.) Socialization. The more positive and varying experiences as a puppy the better, both in and out of your home. 4.) Puppy behavior and life stages are equivalent to a human toddler. It takes at least a full year to have a calmer, well-adjusted dog. Patience is required and when your dog's behavior is a positive experience for you and those around you, your patience will be rewarded ten-fold, for years to come. Please do not consider adopting a puppy if you have not thoroughly thought through the pros and cons of having one. So many people end up returning them after 3-5 months because they didn't realize the amount of work involved in raising a puppy. Patience, appropriate toys, socialization, and obedience training are all musts. All are time-consuming and can be expensive. All dogs require supervision with children and obedience training. Adopters that want to have good dogs must be prepared to put the time and effort into training a dog. Any dog requires work and effort, but a well trained, well-socialized dog is more than worth the effort to get them there.
