Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Goliath is a six-month-old, 41-pound, male Belgian Malinois puppy looking for a loving guardian.
Goliath was acquired by a teenager who decided to dabble in guard dog training. She failed at her mission but succeeded in making Goliath a very fearful barky puppy. So, she gave him up to rescue.
Goliath is obviously gorgeous. He’s sits on command and will do just about anything for a treat. He is very food-motivated and enjoys chewing on an antler and self-entertaining.
Goliath has no manners yet, but he’s young and has the ability to learn. He’s looking for a shepherd-lover with the time, energy and patience to train an anxious puppy.
Goliath appears fine with other dogs; I don’t know if he’s met a cat yet.
He is healthy, up-to-date on vaccines, and will be micro-chipped and neutered upon adoption.
To meet and possibly adopt Goliath, please fill in the online adoption application at http://famousfidorescue.com/rescueforms/machform/view.php?id=26727 and follow up by contacting Gloria at fido@famousfidorescue.com or 773-907-0305.
Goliath is at the Famous Fido Rescue, 3124 W. Irving Park Road at Troy Street in Chicago, Illinois 60618. Please call or e-mail for an appointment to meet him and all the other wonderful cats and dogs. His adoption fee of $250 benefits the rescued pets of Famous Fido’s.
