But the Shelbyville/Shelby County Animal Shelter got him, and that’s where the story gets complicated in the best way. After time, patience, and nonstop loving care, his real personality finally started to show, turning into a joyful, spirited young pup. Even then, getting him adopted was not as simple as posting a photo and waiting.
Because once Justice’s updates went viral, people from other states and even other countries wanted him, and the shelter had to decide what to do next.
