Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Selene von Dion is a stunning 10-month-old black and red long haired German Shepherd. Selene is a head turner so be prepared to stop often when you are out and about with her. Selen is very engaging and loves meeting new people and dogs as well. She even initiated play with a pup at the rescue she just met. This fluffy girl has medium energy levels and is hoping some doggy playdates or fun hikes with her favorite people are on the schedule. She is an enthusiastic player, so if there's another dog in the home, she would be best paired with a playful tolerant pup. Did we mention no cats for this girl. Selene is house trained and uses a doggie door, she rides well in a car and does well with her foster siblings. Selene is still a puppy and would love a home full of love and guidance as she continues to progress in her training. Selene is delightful and goofy and has her puppy head tilt down perfectly. Come and see for yourself she is a keeper.
Selene von Dion 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.
