I stopped at my local Humane Society a couple days ago to check on a dog there. While looking through the animal control area, I discovered a production strain Toulouse goose! The goose had been picked up by animal control a few hours before I came in. Found wandering around down town Vancouver.
So I took him home as a foster during his "stray hold" period so he would not have to live in a kennel next to a bunch of over-stressed dogs. Once the stray hold is up (in another 3 days), the goose will be looking for either a permanent home, or a rescue to go to.
I will take pictures later today, and get a better idea of personality. Anybody in N. Oregon or S. Washington looking for a pet quality goose, keep this one in mind! Since this is a rescue animal, there will be a restriction that it not be used for breeding, and most certainly not for eating either!
