Goliath fits his name, coming in at nearly 85 pounds—a big, loveable bubba with a cartoonish charm. After years with one family, he’s now charming everyone at the shelter with his affectionate, goofy personality and those trademark "awoooooos" he makes while sleeping. He’s housebroken, crate trained, and quick to figure out new tricks, plus he’s got a special fondness for toys, car rides, and splashing in water. Volunteers all say he’s a pleasure: strong but responsive, easy to walk, and eager for both praise and pets. He listens well, knows his commands, and switches from playful to chill without fuss. Goliath loves staying close to his people—though he’s independent enough to amuse himself in the yard, he always keeps an eye out for his person. He can make friends with laidback dogs—playgroup reports call him social and tolerant. If there are dogs at home, a meet-and-greet is smart, and older kids are a better fit due to his size and bouncy energy. Goliath shines most with some structure and continued training.
