godfrey

Meet Godfrey.

Some dogs chase tennis balls. Some dogs chase squirrels. Godfreys favorite thing to chase is you.

This 12-year-old Cavapoo is equal parts playful sidekick and professional cuddle bug. If you sit down, hell find you. If you walk away, he'll follow. If you're standing still long enough, theres a good chance he'll gently nuzzle into you and casually drop his entire body weight against your leg just to make sure you know he loves you.

Godfrey is the kind of dog who brings joy wherever he goes. He's goofy, affectionate, fully potty trained, and always ready for a game. His foster says he loves pulling toys from his toy bin and delivering them directly to your feet before pawing at you to make sure you understand that playtime is now mandatory. When he's not playing, he's looking for treats, snuggles, or a cozy spot in bed next to his favorite human.

While Godfrey loves other dogs in the home, he can be reactive when passing unfamiliar dogs on leash. Because of this, he would do best in a quieter neighborhood, a home with a fenced yard, or with an adopter willing to continue helping him build confidence around dogs he doesn't know. He's a very good boy on leash otherwise and responds well to patient guidance.

Godfrey also struggles a bit when left alone. After years of loving companionship, its understandable that he prefers having his people nearby. He's looking for a family that is home much of the time and committed to helping him work through his separation anxiety with patience and consistency.

At 12 years old, Godfrey does have some age-related arthritis in his back legs and receives Cytopoint injections for allergies, but neither condition stops him from enjoying life. He still has plenty of energy for play sessions, walks, and all the snuggles he can get.

Godfrey is one of those dogs who makes a house feel full. Full of toys scattered across the floor. Full of laughter. Full of companionship. Full of love. He's looking for a family who will embrace all of it.
