Halston

Hi, I'm Halston! I'm living the good life in my foster home currently, but I've come a long way to get here. My younger days were stressful and life wasn't so good then. I was kept outside for much of the time, and I was treated poorly by my owner. Then I turned to living on the streets. But life in the streets of Riverside wasn't easy. I was alone and hungry, looking for a family to call my own. I was picked up by a truck with other dogs, and the next thing I knew I was in the shelter. I was very thin, tired, and didn't have much hope of finding my forever family. But then, my life began to turn around. A lovely woman with the Coastal German Shepherd Rescue saw the handsome charmer I could be, and she took me to San Diego.

After a long car ride, a trip to the vet, a cone around my head, and a few loopy days, I finally arrived at my foster home. My foster home is run by two lovely GSDs [and they let some two-legged creatures live there, too]. Those dogs taught me how to be a dog again, how to trust, and how to live in a REAL home! I was shy at first when I got there, but I warmed up quickly to them. I am fully house trained, I know how to use a doggie-door, and I am very well-mannered. I'm calm - I don't jump up on things or people. I met a cat for the first time - very odd creatures. But I'm friendly around everyone - cats, kids, and other dogs.

I'm mature and refined. I want a family of my very own to love and care for. I will sit at your feet, sleep by your bed, watch you cook dinner - I would be a great companion for anyone. I do make one request: I love getting my head scratched. I even groan a little when you do it.
