Howie von Holzen is a gorgeous, 2-year-old, long-haired German Shepherd mix. Very loving and happy, he's a sweet boy with the most beautiful coat of fluff! Howie has an outgoing personality, seems to already be housetrained and knows several of his commands. At walk time, he starts out happily and is working on perfecting his leash skills while he stays close to his person. He even loves to run next to a bike rider! In his playgroups, Howie is happy and ready to socialize; he enthusiastically plays with other similar dogs and loves running around the grounds and greeting all of his pals -- but he votes NO on kitty friends. Rescued from the SEACCA animal shelter. Weight: 66.5 lbs IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN Howie von Holzen 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 Howie von Holzen, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
