My story

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

Starla von Selbitz is a 2 year old stunning all-black Shepherd mix who turns heads wherever she goes! But she’s not just a pretty face—this girl has a heart of gold and a gentle, affectionate spirit. She loves people and isn’t shy about showing it—expect lots of tail wags and kisses! Starla walks well on a leash and enjoys staying close to her people. In the play yard, she showed stable, calm behavior and a preference for human companionship over wrestling with other dogs. She did enjoy a bit of playful interaction but ultimately preferred to relax nearby. Whether you’re looking for a hiking buddy or a cuddle companion, Starla brings the best of both worlds. She’s affectionate, well-mannered, and ready to find a forever home where she can shine.

Rescued from the Palmdale 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.
