My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Oscar von Osterbruch is a gorgeous 1–2 year-old German Shepherd. If there was an Oscar award for the most Shepherd-looking Shepherd, it would go to this boy for sure! Oscar has a medium energy level and is super smart. Smart and gorgeous? Talk about luck! Despite how gorgeous and brilliant he is, someone forgot to tell him he's not a puppy anymore. He comes out of his kennel with a happy-puppy smile, ready for playful antics with one of his favorite humans, which at times includes "mouthiness," but he's quickly mindful of corrections. On walks and in playgroups, he much prefers the companionship of humans rather than other dogs, but with more socialization and training, he's bound to shine! Oscar is seeking a home with friendly humans, but no cats. He can't wait to meet you – come say hi and treat yourself to time with this stunning fellow!

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.
