Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Reba von Rettert is a beautiful, 4-5-year-old German Shepherd mix. Reba is looking for a home with her friend Riley. She's an easygoing, pretty lady who loves people, attention and lots of petting. Settling in at a nice mid-energy level, she already knows sit, is very treat-motivated and is eager to please. At walk time Reba starts excited and ready as she listens well to and stops pulling. She meets other dogs very nicely and is happy to have the fun of group walks with lots of buddies. Amazing in her playgroups, she's the social lady who greets everyone, likes to explore the yard and hangs around with her bonded-buddy Riley, with whom she is sharing her run. She's a NO for kitty friends.

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.
