Meet Godwin, a 7-year-old Staffordshire with the perfect combo of muscle, energy, and mushy cuddles. She’s been training hard, knows her basic commands, and is ready to shine as the MVP of your heart. 🖤🐶
She’s a high-energy all-star who loves to chase toys, run plays in the yard, and then huddle up for snuggles. Godwin doesn’t need a full team. She’s happiest being your one and only draft pick.

📋 Scouting Report:

Meet Chong!
This 5–6 month old cutie is all puppy! Playful, curious, and ready to learn! He’s still working on all things pup-related (think: manners, leash skills, and where to potty), but he’s eager to please and full of potential. With a little patience and a lot of love, Chong will grow into your best buddy for life.
