A volunteer writes:   Hey, over here – it’s me, Goliath- I’d love to meet you, come on over, take me out, let’s go for a walk, let’s play, let’s have some treats, I’ll show you how nicely I sit…..and, I need to go potty…..   And, so we met – I couldn’t refuse this adorably eloquent brindlicious boy.  Goliath loves everybody!  He wants to meet dogs we pass on the street, and in his first play group he romped with males and females, took correction if needed, and gave equal time to the humans with him.   How democratic is he!?  With a tail that never stops wagging, Goliath posed for some photos like a pro showing off his perfect sit – I wonder if he went to charm school to develop that perfect pose. He takes treats hungrily but is a bit thin in my opinion so that may be why.  Goliath has a little ‘cauliflower’ ear from an early ear infection which has cleared – it simply adds to his charming good looks.  Friendly, lively, affectionate, playful and ready to be the life of the party, Goliath is hoping you’ll stop by to meet him today.

PLAYGROUP:

11/18: When off leash with male and female dogs Goliath may attempt to mount, but he responds well to correction. He will briefly play when solicited then spends his time seeking attention from handlers.
