Spencer's Story

<p><br/>Update **5/14/07**<br/><p><br/>Spencer is approximately 2.5 years old now, and has blossomed while in foster care. He is gaining more and more confidence and trust each day, and LOVES having visitors. He is a very affectionate boy, his favorite thing to do is follow his person, and just BE wherever you are. He loves napping on the couch with his foster mom, and still thinks he is a lap dog. He loves spending quality time outside on warm evenings with his person, having his belly rubbed or just being brushed. <br/><p> <br/>Spencer would do best as an only dog where he can be the center of attention, and would love to have a home where someone can be there with him at all times-he is still working on perfecting his house manners, and his new home will have to continue to work with him on this. <br/><p><br/>He is 60 pounds of pure love!<br/><p><br/> <p><br/><center>************</center><br/><p><br/><p><br/><center><A HREF="http://www.kodakgallery.com/Slideshow.jsp?mode=fromshare&Uc=91aystyn.9qafgetj&Uy=-7nfccw&Ux=0<br/>"><font color=purple>-*- Click Here to See More Pictures of SPENCER -*-</font face=purple></center></a><br/><p><br/><p><br/>=======================<br/><p><br/>10/23/06:<br/><p><br/> Spencer is building his trust and confidence more and more every day, and is happy to be living the "normal" life he should have always known. He's LOVES to cuddle, and has spooning with his foster mom down to a "T." He's learned that it is ok, actually FUN to run around the backyard, but hasn't quite learned how to stop yet-he gets so excited when we run that he comes barrelling full speed at me and then kind of slides to stop himself, but he's getting better! He is extremely intelligent, and words can't describe how affectionate he is. He would love to have a youngers "sis" in his new home, to continue to teach and show him that new things are ok-most of them are even good! He is affectionately called the Cookie Monster in his foster home, once he realized treats were good, he's got his eye out for them and thinks once he finishes one, there is an endless supply waiting for him!<br/><p><br/><p><br/>=======================<br/><p><br/>8/31/06:<br/><p><br/>Spencer was rescued from life on a chain, and is one grateful soul. He is about a year and a half old, but still plays like a puppy. He is learning what life should be like in his foster home and is loving every second of it! He loves to explore in the yard, and loves to curl up with his "person" and give kisses. He is very good with his foster sisters, and loves to follow them everywhere. <br/><p> <br/>He is still learning the ropes on living the "good" life and is not yet fully leash or house train-but he is very intelligent and is working on his manners. He knows how to sit, and definitely knows how to give kisses. He will need lots of love and patience in his forever home, with someone willing to build his confidence and trust in people and new things and surroundings. <br/><p><br/>If you are interested in learning more about Spencer, send an email to Jessica at <A HREF="mailto:mastiffsj@yahoo.com">mastiffsj@yahoo.com</A></u>. <br/><p><br/><p><br/><A HREF="http://www.raot.org/HGPBR/HGPBR_ADOPTION_APPLICATION.htm">ADOPTION APPLICATION</A> <br/><p><br/><u>ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS</u>:<br><br/>a vet reference (we will call your vet)<br><br/>fenced yard (some exceptions are made for this requirement) <br><br/>home visit(s)<br> <br/>no other male dogs in your home<br><br/>AND<br> <br/>a good foundation of knowledge of dog behavior<br> <br/>top notch dogs need top notch homes ;))) <br/><p><br/><hr><br/><hr><br/><p><br/><a href="http://www.onetruemedia.com/shared?p=2126175aa09f80ee9d1889&skin_id=0&utm_source=otm&utm_medium=image" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.onetruemedia.com/media/11/4b095f7a6651276a/015d4187b8f77e43_thumb.jpg" border="0" alt="View this video montage created at One True Media" title="View this video montage created at One True Media" ><br>"Angels in Marble"<br>video montage</a><br/><p><br/><p><br/><font color=red>~~~DONATIONS ARE NEEDED TO CONTINUE OUR WORK~~~</font color=red> <br/><form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"><br/><input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick"><br/><input type="hidden" name="business" value="luvrofpitties@yahoo.com"><br/><input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Hearts of Gold Pit Rescue"><br/><input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="HoGPR"><br/><input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="1"><br/><input type="hidden" name="cn" value="Comments"><br/><input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD"><br/><input type="hidden" name="tax" value="0"><br/><input type="hidden" name="lc" value="US"><br/><input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-DonationsBF"><br/><input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-butcc-donate.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!"><br/><img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1"><br/></form><br/></h5><br/></font color>

Spencer would do best as an only dog where he can be the center of attention, and would love to have a home where someone can be there with him at all times-he is still working on perfecting his house manners, and his new home will have to continue to work with him on this.


He is 60 pounds of pure love!
