My story

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

Stitch von Sonne is a beautiful 11-12 month old Retriever mixed with Border Collie, but we're just guessing.

MEET STITCH!! This loyal and handsome Retriever mix (our best guess) was dumped in a neighborhood where he stayed for 5 days waiting for his family to return. He was rescued by concerned neighbors and is in a loving foster home. Stitch was so scared the first few days, but with a gentle patient touch, other dogs to play with, and a warm bed and good food, he is thriving. Stitch is a medium energy guy who is very smart and playful. He adores other dogs and is potty trained! He takes a little time to warm up to new people but will be sleeping in your lap in no time. He is great with the young kids in the home, loves to be near his people, and is a WATER DOG!! This pup adores the pool and was swimming his first day in his foster home. Looking for a beach buddy, Stitch would love the adventure.

If you are looking for a wonderful, loyal and trusted family dog, Stitch is your pup!

Stitch von Sonne is in a foster home, offsite, and is NOT at our rescue location in Los Angeles.

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.
