Mo von Mestlin is a beautiful, 2.5-year-old Shepherd mix. He was taken away from his home with 5 other dogs because the owner had too many of them. One of the great things about Mo is that he has great doggie skills. He is very excited when he gets to meet new people. He puts on a show and makes them feel very important. He likes to give kisses and will nudge your hand for more pets. He enjoys his toys, already knows a list of commands and takes his treats like a gentleman. Good on his leash, he meets other dogs well and enjoys group walks. In playgroups, he's a happy fellow who likes to explore the yard while he greets all his buddies and mingles nicely. Adding to Mo's full resume: he is good with kids and is housetrained. He has done well meeting small dogs. Regarding kitty friends, he's a bit conflicted: he has lived with cats and was not aggressive toward them but would chase them if they ran, so we think he could do ok with cats who stand their ground and don't take off. With so much to offer, he should be on the top of everyone's list of dogs to meet. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN Mo von Mestlin YOU MUST FILL OUT AN ADOPTION APPLICATION ON OUR WEBSITE: www.sheprescue.org Application link: http://www.sheprescue.org/Application_to_Adopt_a_Dog%20Main.html 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.
If you have any questions or would like to adopt Mo von Mestlin, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
