Gouda's Story

Meet Drumstick! Nickname Gouda He is one of those dogs who just wants to be close.<br/><br/>Hes happy all the time, but not in a wild or overwhelming way. Its more like he wakes up every day thinking, Okay, what are we doing together? He wants to be included. He wants to be near his people. He wants to be part of the little everyday things the walk, the car ride, the couch, the kitchen while youre making dinner, the quiet moments when nothing much is happening.<br/><br/>He loves people, he loves other dogs, and he is good with kids. He walks nicely with a pack and has that sweet, social way about him where he wants to be friends without making a big fuss. He is not trying to make life harder. He really does try to do the right thing.<br/><br/>Gouda is great in the car, crate trained, housetrained, and has good manners in the house. Those things matter, of course, but they are not the whole story. They just make it easier for someone to see what we already see: a good dog with a huge heart.<br/><br/>What I love most about Gouda is how much he wants to connect. He learns fast, especially when treats are involved, and he pays attention in this really endearing way. He looks to you. He wants to understand. He wants to be told hes doing a good job.<br/><br/>And then there is the snuggling.<br/><br/>Gouda fully believes he is a lap dog. It does not matter what size he is. If there is a person sitting down, he sees an opening. He will lean into you, tuck himself close, and soak up every bit of love he can get. He does not ask for much in a dramatic way. He just wants soft hands, kind words, and someone who is happy to have him nearby.<br/><br/>He is not a complicated dog. He is a really good one. Sweet, social, smart, affectionate, and always trying. Gouda is ready for someone who will let him be part of the family the walks, the car rides, the couch time, and all the everyday little things.<br/><br/>He has so much love to give, and he gives it so easily.
