Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Leah von Laax is an enchanting three month old German shepherd mix. She is so beautiful, and although her face is so stunning and delicate, her personality isn’t delicate at all. She is ready for any adventure. She is so full of personality that watching her explore her new world is quite entertaining. She is very inquisitive, extremely agile for a puppy her age, and very smart as well. She watches your every move and tries to understand what you're telling her. We love it when she cocks her head. She is in a foster home with two big dogs who are a bit bothered by her, but she still likes to follow them around. She was rescued from a rural area where she was left to fend for herself. She cherishes all the comforts of a home and loves her big comfy bed and all her toys. Leah is a hearty eater, but her favorite treat is cheese. She has smaller bones than a pure bred puppy, so our guess is she will be medium sized as an adult. She loves to play ball endlessly and will bring it right back to you most of the time. Leah will light up any home!
Leah von Laax 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.
