Meet Godiva, the puppy equivalent of a warm latte, a fuzzy blanket, and your favorite feel-good playlist all rolled into one adorable package.

This 9-week-old Border Collie/Great Pyrenees mix is already perfecting the art of being both smart and snuggly. At 16 pounds, she’s a growing girl with a soft, cloud-like coat and a personality that’s equal parts sweet, affectionate, and delightfully chatty. Yes, she has opinions, and she’s happy to share them… usually about how much she’d like more pets, please.

Godiva is friendly with new people, loves other dogs, and approaches life like it’s one big, exciting adventure waiting to be explored. She’s still learning puppy basics, including house training and obedience, so she’s looking for a family ready to guide her with patience, consistency, and plenty of encouragement (treats don’t hurt either).

Her exercise needs are moderate, but her curiosity is strong, so a secure fenced yard is a must for this little explorer. She’ll thrive with space to stretch her legs, play, and investigate every leaf, breeze, and mysterious backyard sound.

Life with Godiva will look like morning greetings that feel like a celebration, cozy evenings with a soft puppy curled beside you, and the daily joy of watching a bright, loving pup grow into an incredible companion.

If you’re ready for a loyal sidekick who’s equal parts cuddle bug, conversationalist, and fluffy best friend… Godiva is ready to meet you.
