My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

If anyone’s looking for a big boy then Goliath is your guy! This 80 pound boy entered our shelter as a stray that was never claimed. He appears to be a younger mixed breed dog.

Goliath is energy- filled and would do best in an active home with room to run. He is on the bigger side and has earned the title of our gentle giant. As much as he loves to run and play, there’s nothing he loves more than to be shown attention and to be babied. He shows to do well with other dogs but we would ask for a further meet & greet. He also tested well around cats. Goliath is neutered, current on vaccinations, microchipped, and has been heartworm tested.

If you have any further questions regarding Goliath or are interested in setting up a scheduled meet & greet, please contact Erin at (309)-368-0669.

You could also view him during our adoption and viewing hours which are the following: Monday-Saturday 12-5pm and Sunday 12-3pm. We are located at 1855 Windish Dr. Galesburg, IL 61401.

Additional adoption info

We have a small adoption contract that is very simple to fill out. Anyone wanting to adopt an animal must be 21 or older and have a valid ID with them. The contract just states that the person adopting the animal will take good care of them, make sure they're up to date on heath related items, and other agreements that can be properly read when the person comes in. We will also work with reduced fees for the adoption if possible.
