My story

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

Iggy von Iggingen is a tall and handsome 12-month-old German Shepherd. This gentle boy can be a bit shy but warms quickly, especially if treats are on board. Iggy will lean against you to win some petting and nab more goodies. Settling in at a medium-energy level, he's likely already housetrained. For his walks, he starts happily with a wagging tail. Eventually he settles nicely and likes to stay close to his person. Iggy is a sniffer dog and likes to explore the smells of the big, wide world during his outdoor adventures. Happy and ready to socialize in his playgroups, Iggy does great with other dogs and is sharing space at the rescue with some of his pup friends. He especially enjoys playing with Toni, if you're looking for a matching pair! (No cats please.)

Rescued from the Desert Hot Springs animal shelter.

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.
