Galahad adopted by family with heart as big as he is
Our gentle giant Galahad the Mastiff has finally find his forever home after a viral appeal.
A 100kg mastiff called Galahad - who made news around the world after an appeal to find his forever home - has been adopted.
Galahad is the biggest-ever dog cared for at our Canterbury Rehoming Centre and the same weight as a baby elephant! This friendly four-year-old has had a lot of change in his life, so it was very important to find him the perfect match.
Fortunately Galahad has found his special somewhere in the home of Colin, Lindy and 15-year-old Matthew Dimmock and their dog Odie.
Galahad is fantastic - he sits, gives you his paw, he comes up and gives you a kiss, he’s met cyclists, tractors, cars, other dogs, and is brilliant with our son Matthew, who is autistic. He likes everything about Galahad apart from the slobber. He’s just starting to play tug. He’ll chase a football down the garden and once he’s punctured it he’ll bring it back! We haven’t found a toy he can’t destroy yet, typically they last about a day! He loves the hosepipe and has been really enjoying that while the weather has been nice.
Colin
Galahad was by far the biggest ever dog we’ve had at Canterbury. He’s had several previous homes, so it was really important that we got this right for him.
We had a huge response to our appeal, and we could not be more thrilled with how well he’s settled in with his big-hearted new owners, they’re a match made in big dog heaven.
