I love to lounge outside in the sun, and I am not a big fan of being picked up or cuddled. I am, however, a big fan of food. I would really blossom in a home where my humans would be patient with me and let me go at my own pace.

More about Goober:

I really love the sound of my own voice, so apartment life is not for me. Loud noises and sudden movements (and sometimes my own reflection) will startle me, and sometimes I have a hard time recovering from that. I love to snuggle and get scratches from my foster mom, but it will take time and many treats before I trust someone else enough to enjoy their snuggles.
