Meet Goose, A Journey from Pain to Hope, A Legacy of Love

Goose, an 8-year-old wire-haired Vizsla, arrived at the Cotswolds Dogs and Cats Home after enduring seven months without receiving veterinary treatment, following a terrible accident.
Goose, Wired Hair Visla- The Cotswolds Dogs & Cats Home

He had been hit by a quad bike, leaving him with a fractured leg and unable to bear weight – but received no veterinary care for his injury.

By the time Goose was rescued, a long seven months later his veterinary assessments confirmed that his untreated fracture had left him in constant pain and unable to walk properly.

 

After carefully exploring all possible options, it was decided that the only way to provide Goose with a pain-free life was to amputate his damaged leg.

Despite his difficult start, Goose's story began to change once he came to CDCH. He spent six months here receiving the care and love he had been longing for.

At first, the sadness of his past was clear in his eyes, but slowly, with patience and kindness, that sadness gave way to hope.

 

With every passing day, Goose began to trust and showed a remarkable ability to heal emotionally. He transformed into a loving and affectionate dog, eager to connect with people despite his past.

 

Goose’s hope shone through.

His once broken spirit was replaced by a gentle, forgiving nature, and his handsome face, once marked by suffering, became the face of a dog who had found joy again. After months of recovery and rebuilding his trust, Goose was ready for his next chapter.

Goose found his forever home, where he continues to thrive.

Now living pain-free and surrounded by love, his second chance at life is filled with happiness and hope.

It was love at first sight, he is such a lovely boy and considering what he had been though he did not hesitate in trusting us from the start.

He only has to look at people and he melts their hearts (and he knows it) it did not take long for Goose to know that he was safe.

Walkies in the car is also a favourite of his as well. He also like travelling on buses which is also great.

Where ever you go with Goose people just look at his face and want to stop and talk to him. He is very good at going around shops and quickly finds out which ones give out dog treats.

He does have one slight problem as he is often up to a bit of shop lifting he has been caught a few times sneaking out of charity shops with cuddle toys which his mum has to go back and pay for. Oh but he does love his toys and they are all over the house.

People often say when they know his story he is so lucky to have us. NO we are the lucky ones. If you are not well he loves to cuddle he is sensitive stubborn (oh so stubborn ) gentle, kind and funny.
