About Goliath

Goliath is a strong and spirited 2-year-old German Shepherd mix looking for a dedicated adopter. He has some training under his belt — he can sit, but only when he feels like it. Goliath shows significant dog aggression on a leash when encountering other dogs, though he seems to have a special bond with one named Nara. While he's not currently house trained, he is up-to-date on vaccinations. Goliath's adoption fee is set at $180 and covers his neuter, vaccines, and a microchip. This handsome fella is bicolor with a medium coat that gives him a striking appearance. Goliath would thrive in a committed environment where he can receive further training and socialization. This could be the start of something paw-some.
