Say hello to Godfrey!
Tipping the scale at 131 lbs, Godfrey is a VERY large dog. This bear like canine, a Great Pyrenees and Golden Retriever mix, is hoping to find a home with a couch big enough to let him enjoy the finer things in life during his senior years.
Our friends at the Scituate Animal Shelter tell us Godfrey is 10-years-old and in overall good health. He has a mass on his leg that will be biopsied and likely removed. Understandably his back end can be a bit weak at times, but this guy has plenty of spunk left in him.
Godfrey is overall a very good dog but has a bit of a quirky personality. His dislikes include small children and people wearing glasses (we can’t explain that part). He enjoys other dogs but gets a little too excited, so a home without other pets is a must for him.
Godfrey doesn’t like to share his food, so he needs adults in his life who leave him alone while eating. Godfrey is an excellent communicator and will let you know if he is displeased. He doesn’t shy away from some grumbles or a bark if you have annoyed him.
Despite his size, he walks very well on a leash. Someone will need some strength though, if he wants to pull you can imagine how far he could take you.
We can’t wait to see this guy out of a small kennel and into a loving home.
