Meet Justice a Golden Retriever Spaniel Mix, Who Has Not Seen Too Much Justice in His Short Lifetime!

Meet Justice..he is my new foster from TN.  He appears to be a Golden Retriever Spaniel Mix.  I want to say he may even have Afghan in his background due to his wide, feathery black ears.  Justice came to me as a twice jailed reject.  Poor Guy!

Justice was originally adopted in Tennessee by a family. They took him home and due to him wanting to come inside the house, (think about the cold weather during March!!), the new owners took him back to the high kill shelter and said they did not want him any longer, he kept wanting in the house!

He is a young dog, believed to be about 2yrs young, he stills chews on your hands and has sharp teeth. He is very easy to train but you have to be consistant with him, he is like a rebellious younster.  He loves to play, play and more play! His favorite pasttime is running in circles at top speed around my .5 acre front yard.  He loves long walks after breakfast, and tennis balls.

He does not like school buses (he barks), I think he was with a family and maybe the child went to school on athe school bus.  He does not get along with cats. He chases cats. I am working on a 'leave it' command with him now to stop the behaviour.  He does not get along well with smaller dogs. He tends to use his size to his advantage.

It is very apparent Justice has had abuse in his past. People who did not know how to cope with a dog probably locked him in garages, outside, etc.  He is very mistrustful of people. It is taking awhile but I feel as soon as he learns that not all humans are going to try and hurt him, he will become a very loving, loyal and great dog!

Any high energy family with lots of room for Justice to run would find him a loving family member.  He really is a sweet dog.  I would not suggest him around little children but having older children would be a plus! He needs someone to throw frisbees and tennis balls as fast as they can and all day..his energy is endless!

UPDATE: May 15, 2010 - Justice met with a potential adopter in Rhode Island.  This family had 2 boys, ages 9 and 7, just right to play with this huge puppy!  They also have a former rescue dog, a Great Pyrenees who has lived with them for awhile.  The Great Pyrenees breed is a laid back, mountain type dog who does well in solitude...not necessarily needing the pampered, family way of life.  The family found they really wanted a pet to come in the house and cuddle and play with the family.

Well from Justice's write up, we all know the only thing Justice was looking for was a family to invite him inside and cuddle and play! What better match could be found?!

We took Justice to his potential new 'furever' home and he and their dog had a great time. It was almost no time before the two dogs began playing and having fun.  This is not easy for such a large dog as the Pyrenees!  Everything was all set for Justice and his new home.

Justice finally has found the justice he needed. He is now a part of a loving family and has a new brother he can play with and he will never have to worry about his cuddling again!

I am getting a new foster in this weekend, he is being fostered due to Justice's new parents. They are the heroes in my life.  The adopters who adopt our dogs, don't even know how many dogs they help when they find their special dog!  I always like to tell them the name of the new dog I will be sponsering due to their love and understanding of these wonderful dogs!
