Godwin Pit Bull Terrier & Terrier Mix Chattanooga, TN

Godwin is a 3.5 year Pit Bull mix boy that weighs 69 pounds. He recently came to us from McKamey Animal Center after they reached out to the community for help due to having too many animals in their care.

Here is what our awesome dog walking volunteer had to say about him, "Godwin is a wiggly sweetheart with the ones he knows……he’s a great hiking partner, an excellent car rider and because he’s not going to be seeking attention form strangers, he will form an incredible bond with the lucky one who adopts him. He also super enjoyed his romp in the river."

Hi friends, I'm a newer fella lucky enough to be at this shelter and the name's Godwin......I like the way it's said with intention..... not your typical pup name, and I'm not your typical pup. Godwin means 'good friend' and reflects a sense of reliability and loyalty.....and that most certainly describes me. I'm not going to be your bff right off.....that's for the Max's, the Buddy's and the Daisy's of the doggy world.....first off, I'm going to quietly lose my mind because you've gotten me out of the shelter and I wanna see/smell/experience it ALL!! Omigosh, was that a squirrel??! After I get some energy out and remember how I got here, I'm gonna study you and the admiration will begin, but you may not realize that right away.

Maybe I'm a bit demure, maybe a bit mindful, perhaps a bit aloof....truth be told......you know our types end up connecting the strongest with the one who chooses us over the other more outgoing pups. I'm a perfect gentledog in your car. You can bribe me quite easily with a treat but know that I'm letting you.....I'm actually a smart whip. I don't necessarily need to meet all your friends.....only your closest ones, and other dogs?? I've met a few, I like a few, I don't like a few. I do prefer the girly dogs.....and I can hang around with a gentle pup.....but I don't necessarily need a pup friend on the daily. I really wanna focus on you!!! Do you want to be my adventure pal, sidekick, road tripper (even if it's to the store)? Are you a bit of introvert with a big heart for black shelter dogs? We should meet. ?
