Taron von Torgau

My story

Taron von Torgau is a stunning, 3-year-old German Shepherd. Tall and super sweet, this handsome boy is the definition of a gentle giant. Taron has a loving soul and an easygoing nature with people. He thrives on affection and is always happy to be close, melting in your arms. A natural greeter, he warmly welcomes people of all ages with a wagging tail and a calm presence. He's a joy to walk, happy to get going and beautifully mannered on a leash, comfortably staying by your side. Intelligent and eager to please, Taron already knows basic commands like sit and down and takes treats very gently. In playgroups with easygoing dogs, he calmly enters the yard, greeting the other dogs politely while keeping his nose out of trouble. He's really more of a people pup, and isn't a fan of pushy dogs or cats. Taron is ready and waiting to become your new best friend! Rescued from the Downey animal shelter. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN Taron von Torgau 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 Taron von Torgau, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
