Friday means two things on “We Are Austin”: an adorable adoptable dog and plenty of ideas for the weekend ahead! Good Party ATX’s Sarah Wolf stopped by with Goose from TRAPRS and a rundown of events featuring local music, art, shopping, plants and plenty of hot sauce.
Before diving into the weekend calendar, Wolf introduced viewers to Goose, an approximately 3-year-old pup looking for his forever family.

Meet Goose
Goose was found as a stray after spending an estimated six months to a year surviving outside and searching through trash for food.
Despite that difficult start, Wolf says he’s become an exceptionally sweet and social dog.
“He has the best demeanor,” Wolf said. “He is so sweet. He’s good with other dogs. He loves his dog friends.”
Goose is currently living with a foster family that includes a 7-month-old baby, and Wolf says he has been gentle around the child. He also enjoys walks and playing with other dogs—and as a husky mix, he’s even been known to offer the occasional happy howl.
Goose has been in foster care for about a year and is now waiting for the right permanent home.

How TRAPRS Helps Austin Animals
TRAPRS helps reunite lost pets with their families and assists with stray animals throughout the Austin area.
“They help find lost pets in town,” Wolf said. “They can help you with fliers and ways to safely secure your pet again.”
The organization also relies heavily on fosters. When a stray needs help, having an available foster home can determine whether TRAPRS is able to bring that animal into its rescue program.
Goose was originally rescued alongside another dog, Maverick, who has since found a family. Now it’s Goose’s turn.
