Adopt An ANGEL animal shelter is home to some of the most beloved and cherished pets in North Carolina. Among them is Goose, a beautiful dog with a deep, hound-like bark that could win contests. His barks are a reflection of his emotions, and when he feels anxious or abandoned, he screams with all his might.
Unfortunately, Goose's life has been more sad than happy. He has been adopted twice before but had to return to the shelter both times. The first time, he was taken in as an injured puppy and howled after being separated from his mother. The second time, he was adopted by a young couple, but their relationship ended abruptly, and one of his parents surrendered him back to the shelter without informing the other.
Goose's howls were even louder the third time he returned to the shelter. Staff members knew that he needed a family he could stay with forever, so they featured him in an adoption fair. Luckily, one of his previous owner's best friends came across him and recognized him despite missing an ear since he was a puppy. Goose's dad was shocked to hear that his dog was at a shelter again but was determined to adopt him into his family.
Less than four days later, Goose's dad drove all the way from Florida to North Carolina to reunite with his long-lost pup. Goose, who is usually the loudest dog at the shelter, went completely quiet when he saw his dad. It was like he was saying, "I know that my people are here, so there's no need to scream. I was only screaming for my people." He didn't make a sound, but his excited jumps showed that he was happy to see his dad again.
According to Adopt An ANGEL director Jill Jones, Goose is thriving in Florida. He spends his days running around his new fenced-in yard and playing with his dog cousins. Even though Jones misses him, she is relieved to know that Goose no longer has a reason to cry.
