Hi
Needing a good home for an older domestic Grey and White goose.. may be possible to have 2nd white goose ..Likely female . no idea on age.
Both in good health. Been living in City ( population 5000) pond and riverway and cared for by our family.. One was dumped there several years ago. The other recently.
We are wanting to move out of the area but need to find a home for them before we can do that.
A good home would be... someplace where he can be the boss as he is used to it.. has other birds preferrably ducks not too many other geese.. or none.
He has seen 4 mates and a gosling, killed by people over the years and tends to socialize with ducks better than other geese now. He even adopts a mom duck each spring and her babies as his own...
He needs a loving home with a pond, lake or river, & Love
He is a male.. and is at least 7 years old and Fertile.
The other all white goose we feel is female but are not sure.. was a recent drop off, and seems very used to people

Hi
We are in Wisconsin... Goose lives on local river/pond.. We would not capture him before we had a home for him.. He WOuld be A rescue. We have worked with him fro years,, and he is happy on the river,,but he is aging,, winters are so hard on him,, and if we move there is nobody to care for him.
We have legal authority to remove him as we are the managers of the Urban flock.
This flock consists of both wild ducks and Pet ducks or geese dropped off once owners did not want them.. In Winter they are left to fend for themselves as they can not fly out and there is no natural food for them.. I am not looking for a shelter but a way to give him a better home to live out his years as a goose.. We would not take him out of where he was for anything less than a better home than where is is on the River.. Which means We wont move either.. We can not leave him ...
Without the feed in winter most of those birds would simply die... So we stay til we find him a good home

He is not in our home.. H e along a river/pond near a park in a local town.. unshletered, where there has been many occasions of other birds and geese killed by rocks etc.. He loves it..but we want a safe better place for him with a family or person who will care for him.. We do it now.. But would like to move away and then could not and there is Nobody else willing to incurr the cost or time to weatch out for him the proper way...
We work in wildlife and know of many shelters etc... Im just looking for a actual person... We dont want to take him out o what he has unless its better.. If we dont find a home then we will stay until we do... We simply could not abandon him..
If most local folks knew we were looking they would go down and get themselves a Christmas goose around here... soooo

You should be able to post on www.petfinders.org
There is also a section on www.craigslist.org for pets.
you have every right to ask to see the place where the animal's are going if your going to try a private adoption.
this is a free service. you can post in the classified section. I have used this service to adopt a few puppies we had last year. It went very well for me. I had also used the same site to adopt in 2004.

I think the humane shelter is a good idea, but why tramatize any animal by removing it from it's home?? You say you have a pond, it it a "caged" environment which requires human intervention? Or is it in a "free roam" environment??
If it's free roam, just inform the new homeowners there's plenty of "friendly critters" around. They'll probably love it....

You did not list where you are from. That might help in the finding a new home.
I'm from Michigan, and know several people with farms.

Contact your local humane societies and rescues. If they don't have room for the goose, they can still post it to adoption websites to help you find an adopter for it. (The postings are free.) You can also post this information yourself to craigslist.com and freecycle.org to help find an adopter for the goose.
