Houston von Hamburg

My story

Houston von Hamburg is a stunning 1-2 year-old German Shepherd. This blondie is a happy boy. He steps out into the world with big tail wags, ready for adventure. Friendly and sweet, he often leans into you seeking cuddles and rump scratches, and relishes bestowing you with kisses, nudging your hand just to let you know he's by your side. Houston takes treats gently and accepts directions well. On leash he likes to explore every nook and cranny. He is medium energy and smart: he knows sit and is so adorable when you ask him for his paw. Very social and friendly with other dogs, he comes into playgroup ready to make friends and play. He's seeking a home that appreciates his lovely happy personality (and that has no cats or small dogs). Rescued from the Inland Valley Humane Society. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN Houston von Hamburg 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 Houston von Hamburg, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
