Pastel

Pastel (#MASA26356), or Goose, as his foster parent lovingly calls him, is the epitome of gentleness. His favorite thing in the world? Pets! There's nothing he treasures more than a warm, affectionate touch. His eyes light up with joy at the simple pleasure of being loved, making him the perfect companion for those quiet, tender moments. But Goose is not just a cuddle expert; he's also an explorer at heart. Every walk is an adventure for him, as he sniffs around, eager to uncover the mysteries of the world. His curiosity knows no bounds, and he delights in discovering new scents and sights, transforming ordinary walks into exciting escapades. It is worth noting that he walks very easily on a lead as well. When it comes to meeting new people, Goose is a social butterfly. He enjoys the company of humans, sharing his gentle nature and spreading happiness wherever he goes. The foster parent isn't quite sure how he does with other dogs yet, but with humans, he is a certified good boy. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ A staff member who spent time with me said: "Pastel is quiet and calm in his kennel. Once taken outside, he maintained a relaxed and chill presence in the yard. He sniffed around and explored, but would saunter over occasionally for treats or pets. Once time to go back inside, he didn't seem to want to leave the yard. It took some time to entice him to leave the play yard." A volunteer spent some time with Pastel and said, "It was bittersweet reuniting with Pastel. He's the first dog I ever took out as a volunteer. He's very sweet and doesn't seem to be bothered by anything." On 7/18/24 Pastel attended playgroup. He was somewhat friendly, and social. He can overcorrect when corrections others. He did listen to the corrections of the handlers. Mostly kept to himself. He did size up everyone that approach him. Pastel attended playgroup 10/31/23. He initially was friendly and social and tolerant of other dogs. He was often vocal in play. Eventually, he became fixated on another male dog and attempted to attack, but was easily stopped with auditory aversive (shakers)
