About Justin
All About Me and My Unique Personality:
Justin is a handsome, four-year-old purebred, German Shepherd Dog. He is a very big boy, tipping the scales at 47KG. He is also the sweetest boy who loves lounging around with his family, playing at the park, and going out for long walks where he is allowed to sniff and take in the world.
Justin has had quite a bit of positive reinforcement training. He is well versed in sit, stay, leave it, and a whole host of other tricks. He would do well with further training as he is a very, very bright boy whose capacity for learning is virtually limitless.
My Ideal Home:
Justin is in need of a forever home free of cats and other dogs where he is kept inside and treated as a core member of the family.
What is Known About My Background:
Through no fault of his own, and much to the heartache of his current family, Justin is in need of a forever home as his family are relocating to Canada and cannot take him with them. They would be taking Justin with them but the place they will be living in is a single story and, because Justin does not get along with their other dog and desperately wants to consume their three cats, this situation will not work for him.
How Do I Interact with Kids, Dogs, Cats and Other Pets:
Justin has a strong prey drive and currently living in a home where the cats are locked upstairs to keep them safe. He cannot live with pocket pets.
He is good with other dogs at the dog park, the problem between him and the other resident dog, a husky, as Justin tends to guard all the toys and food and takes things off the other dog all the time to the point where she now bullies him and it is at risk of escalating.
He has strongly guarded his resources with every other dog who entered the home.
Given his size he would be totally unsuitable for a family with young children. Confident teenagers would be ok so long as they were willing to take advantage of Justin's desire to learn and keep up his positive reinforcement training.
