Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Wesley von Wehr is a gorgeous, 1-2 year-old German Shepherd. Apart from his great looks, Wesley’s top-notch personality can’t be beat. He walks great on leash, happy to be out and meeting dogs and people with a wagging tail. Wesley is easygoing, eager to please, curious and social. He takes treats gently and really enjoys a full body massage. In playgroups, Wesley greets all the dogs, explores the yard and returns to people for attention and a few good treats. He enjoys a full range of activities, including relaxing and hanging out by your side. To add to his already awesome status, Wesley tested well with cats. So, Wesley would like you to come by and see for yourself just how wonderful he is and, as you wish, he will not disappoint.

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.
