Goliath - Pit Bull Terrier Dog for Adoption in Benton Harbor, Michigan

Goliath is the definition of a gentle ...well, not quite a giant. But he's a big guy with a heart of gold. He loves other dogs, and loves to snuggle with people. He seems likely to be house-trained, but we can't confirm that 100%. What we do know is that he enjoys walks where he can take in the scenery, and sniff and wag to his heart's content.

He stands out from a lot of our dogs here as not super treat-motivated. With the right super-tasty morsel, he can be persuaded to enjoy, but most of the time, he takes treats gently and politely from your hand, then sets them down. His real motivation is affection and praise.
