My story

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

Shortie von Seelze is the most adorable 4-5 year-old Shepherd mix on the short side. Shortie told me she heard a rumor that the main reason she’s getting passed over is because she looks a bit… different with her short legs and long body. I said, “Girl, no! Everyone says you are just the cutest!" ” Her face? More expressive than every Pixar character put together? Her ears? Like the most perfect Koala to ever be born. Her fluffy coat? Makes every heiress in a Swiss Alps ski resort look like they’re wearing a middle school gym uniform. Her vibe? Just looking at her makes me smile. Speaking of the vibe, Shortie is a real girl’s girl (and may prefer women). She's gonna fit right in great at ladies’ brunch, ladies’ power walks (medium energy levels), and ladies’ sitting-in-sweatpants-and-watching-movies-night. A true lady, her manners are so good that we think she’s been secretly binging every episode of Downton Abbey. She takes treats gently, walks well on a leash, hangs out well on her own and already knows her “sit” command. We all aspire to be Shortie — socializing well even though she’s a bit of an introvert, calm under pressure, and oh-so-charming. If you don’t have a cat or small dog and you’re looking for a best friend, a reason to smile and, if the Barbie movie line “Every night is girl’s night” hit a cord with you — meet Shortie. Maybe the most dedicated love comes from a dog that other people pass over. In the (slightly edited) words of Shania Twain — “Let’s go, girls (especially Shortie)!”

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.
