My story

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

Niko von Nurnberg is an adorable 3 month old German Shepherd puppy. His life had a rough start but since joining the Westside family, he is ready to live his best life. Could it be with you? He is an active boy who loves learning basic commands and playing fetch alongside his foster siblings. The days are filled with exploring, bird watching and playing. When its bedtime, he’s happy to go to his crate and sleep all night without potty breaks. He loves belly rubs and will thank you with kisses! Based on the size of his paws, Niko will likely be a big boy fully grown. He has so much love to give and will be an excellent companion on walks, hikes and dining al fresco. La vita e bella with this sweetheart by your side.

Niko von Nurnberg 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.
