Office time for Goliath meant a calm, warm, quiet area where he could rest and sleep undisturbed for an hour this afternoon. This might not seem like a big deal to you, but for a shelter dog it can be a lifesaving break—one he needs to survive a chaotic loud environment one more day as he anxiously awaits an adopter. We have seen Goliath decline in his time in the shelter, and it hurts us. Goliath is neutered, current with vaccines,, and heartworm negative. He is microchipped, too! He is about 8 years old, with a handsome silvery chin, and he needs a home. Housetrained. Walks well on leash. He occasionally favors his left rear leg but x-rays did not reveal breaks of any sort.

 

Beautiful and personable, and sadly, not claimed by an owner: Goliath is such a big baby! He moans and cries when he needs to go outside, and while part of it may be because he is a bit stiff and sore, we are thinking some of it is due to his personality. Housetrained, a big mush on leash and so anxious to be your big baby!
