Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Honey von Heinade is a stunning, 3-year-old, black-and-red, long-haired German Shepherd. Mama Bear Honey is looking for her forever home! This super sweet gal does a great job on her leash, walking close to her handler and happy to take a rest anytime you find a bench along the way (she’ll lean in for hugs and kisses when it’s breaktime!). She is always curious about the other dogs she meets along the way, and she has a good medium level of energy when interacting. In her playgroups, Honey likes to explore and check in with her humans. She prefers calmer dogs as she doesn’t take too kindly to nonsense – she’ll correct any misbehavin’ she sees. Honey seems to be housebroken, and she knows a lot of commands – she’d love to show you her “sit”, “down” and “paw” skills. She is looking for a forever family that will give her lots of pets and appreciate her sweet nature – if Honey sounds like your kind of girl, she would love to review your application!

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.
