Goliath

If you have a large, long legged shaped hole in your hearts and home then Goliath just may be the perfect addition!

Goliath as named due to his mighty size! Is a sweet boy who is looking for a home to call his own, being found as a stray we have no history for him, but we believe he may never have lived in a home before. He loves being with people and will rest his head on your lap for some fuss, he may be a little aloof initially but soon comes up to new people and warms up to you quickly. He is a handsome gentle giant who will need a family willing to teach him how to live in a home and don’t mind teaching him how to be house trained. It may be easier to help him with his house training if her were to have his own garden, however this is not a must.

Goliath shows lots of very social and friendly behaviour to dogs on walks but becomes a little nervous when off lead, he may still be able to live with another dog, but we think he would suit a calm dog to teach him the ropes and will allow him to build confidence but he can also live as a solo dog who will be able to socialise on walks. He has been showing his personality increasingly in the time he spends with us and one of his favourite things is soft toys, which he will chase and throw around in the air.

Because of his nature we believe he would be best to live with children of Secondary school age (12+), who are used to big dogs as although he is gentle, when he does build confidence or when he is running around with his toys it wouldn’t take much for him to accidentally knock smaller children over. He is very food orientated and is still putting on some much-needed weight after being quite malnourished when he was found, therefore he has shown that he may counter surf to find anything tasty someone may have left for him to find – so a family willing to manage and work on this will be needed.
