For Adopt a Pet and the PEDIGREE® brand, October is all about finding homes for dogs in shelters. Adopt this month for a PEDIGREE® Wet Food Pouch and a chance to win a Homecoming-style photo shoot and shelter donation.
I found a new home! Plenty of my friends are looking for one too. Check out other pets at this shelter, or start a new search.

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Travis von Tannenbaum is a beautiful, 3-4 year-old German Shepherd. When you have a dog as handsome as Travis, you never want them to leave your sight. And luckily, with Travis, that won’t be a problem! Travis is by your side for any adventure — literally. He gets especially happy and bouncy with his favorite people, leaning in for rubs and rolling on his back. He knows how to sit on command and takes doggy cookies gently. And he is a delight to walk, so light on his feet! While Travis likes mingling with other pups, he really lets his fun side shine when playing in water. He's met small dogs well but isn't for cats. Whether you’re ready to go for a dip or a trip around the block or up a trail, Travis wants to join you. For a new friend who will make a splash, Travis is your go-to guy. He is a survivor of a bad accident, but nothing that will slow Travis down! HIs zest for life is just double what most dogs have!

Based on our experience, Westside's current thinking is to usually match first-time shepherd owners with a mix versus a purebred shepherd. Mixes are "softer" and somewhat more malleable. Exceptions can be made, however, for first-time adopters who show the confidence and leadership tendencies that purebreds will respect and respond to. Counselors have to use good judgment in assessing the attributes of the adopter, as well as of the dog. If you have doubts, get a second opinion from Robin or another experienced counselor.
