Petal von Pima

My story

Petal von Pima is a stunning, 1-2-year-old, long-haired German Shepherd. Petal is a bit of a shy girl but is coming out of her shell daily. If you give her a little bit of time, she’ll warm up and tap your hand with her nose, asking for affection. She is good on the leash, checking in with you as she greets dogs calmly. In the play yard, she is content watching the other dogs play and doesn’t mind when the other dogs come up and say “Hello.” She has also passed cat testing. Petal needs an experienced owner who will socialize her more with new people and guide her. Might you be that person? Rescued from the SEACCA animal shelter. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN Petal von Pima 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 Petal von Pima, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
