Ivan von Irth is a wonderful 3.5 year old Shepherd mix. Per his own words, “Hi, my name is Ivan! Am I not the cutest white shepherd you’ve ever met? I greet everyone with a big smile and a tail wag. I am a happy, goofy guy and, while I love my foster family, I am so ready for my own home. I am mid energy and walk great on leash and, while I love following my foster parents around when they run errands, I am also independent enough to hang out alone. I just love running around the lake area but will come right back when called. My foster parents say that I have the cutest antics that keep them laughing for hours. For example, when their small dog yaps at me, I have to make up crazy maneuvers just to get around him! He really has it in for me! But being a bigger gentleman I really don’t want to argue with a small dog. I love the eight-year-old, little human in the family and am always very gentle with her. I met my best doggy friend Kandee (also a Westside dog) at my foster home and we are now very attached to each other; I would so love to find a home with her. Would you consider opening your home to us both or, if not, how about one of us?"
