Rescue Dogs are truly special. No matter the hardships they've endured, once they find a loving home, they embrace the future with hope and wonder. That's certainly true for Goliath, an extra-large, extra-fabulous RescuedBully.
Found wandering the streets, emaciated and ill, he spent weeks in a compassionate shelter getting nursed back to health before joining an experienced foster family. And it hasn't taken him long to revel in life's joys.
Watch his delightful post-bath zoomie session in this Instagram video from June 14.
Though Goliath's past was tough, his future shines brightly. This XL Bully's enthusiastic tail wags radiate joy and gratitude. Taken in by Laurel and Rob, seasoned foster parents with six dogs of their own, he's now slow, wet hops around the kitchen and leaping into his foster dad's arms are every dog parent's dream, especially knowing the rough road he's traveled. Goliath shows even more of his vibrant personality each day in their care.
Even a trip to the vet is no challenge for this sweetheart! It's just another chance to shower everyone with his big kisses. Check out his impeccable behavior in this heartwarming video from June 17.
Rescue Dogs like Goliath often show remarkable resilience and adaptability. According to the ASPCA, approximately 2 million dogs are adopted from U.S. shelters annually, with many, like Bully breeds, overcoming neglect or abuse to become loyal companions. Their ability to trust again highlights their forgiving nature and why they are such cherished family members.
