Meet Justine, the kind of dog people dream about when they imagine a Golden Retriever companion.

At around 30 pounds, she’s a perfect “pocket Golden”, all the love, loyalty, and sweetness of a Golden Retriever in a more manageable size. She fits a little easier on your bed, in your car, and most importantly, right beside you wherever you go.

Justine is the definition of a loyal companion. Whether you’re taking a walk, relaxing on the couch, enjoying a day out, or listening to live music, she’s happiest simply being with her people. Her leash manners are impeccable and she’s a joy to walk, unless a squirrel or bunny makes an appearance, but honestly, we blame the squirrel.

Unlike many dogs, Justine has absolutely no interest in balls or dog toys, so there’s no need to spend a fortune on entertainment. She’s never chewed, destroyed, or “retrieved” anything she shouldn’t in her foster home. Instead, she prefers spending her time soaking up affection, giving the gentlest kisses, and being the perfect sidekick.

Justine is wonderful with children of all ages and gets along beautifully with other dogs and cats. She’s equally content lounging quietly at home or joining you for an adventure. She enjoys wading in rivers, playing with canine friends, and occasionally showing off her zoomies when the mood strikes.

Simply put, Justine is a total gem, a loving, well-mannered, easygoing companion who will make every day brighter. If you’re looking for a loyal best friend, Junie is ready to steal your heart.
