BY ELLEN FELDMAN

In animal life – like in people life – siblings sometimes have to go their separate ways. This was the case for brothers David and Goliath... until it wasn’t.

Meet David and Goliath, two dogs surrendered to Animal Care Sanctuary in December 2021. The two brothers spent the winter getting to know the lay of the land and playing with other animals. After a few weeks, a family adopted David. Sadly, they could not adopt Goliath because he didn’t pass the cat test.

Months went by, and while David was enjoying time with his new family, Goliath was still at the sanctuary waiting to find his forever home like his brother. After some time, Goliath was adopted but returned to ACS within a week.

David’s adopters regularly checked the ACS website and grew sad whenever they saw Goliath. Finally, David’s new dad couldn’t get over the fact that Goliath was still at the shelter and decided to do something about it.

After four months without his brother, Goliath was adopted. He was so excited to meet his forever family but had no idea what was to come next. After getting out of the car at his new home, Goliath ran inside to a wonderful surprise: a greeting from his brother!

The brothers immediately ran right up to one another in excitement. You might be thinking: What about Goliath’s failed cat test? Well, it turns out that was just a one-time mess-up. Whether it be nerves or the stress of being in a shelter, Goliath loves his new cat sibling. He even does a happy dance when he sees a cat!

Goliath goes to show that patience is necessary with any animal. If you give them time and care, they might surprise you.

The staff at ACS is grateful for our time spent with the two brothers. They truly have a one-of-a-kind story that ends with them spending the rest of their days in their forever home. Together! We couldn’t be happier for them.
