Tasha von Triptis is a very sweet, smaller sized 12 month old Shepherd mix.  Meet WGSR's "Most Improved."  This little gal, about 18 inches from shoulder to paw, came to us so unsure that she was trembling.  Only two days later, she was confidently strutting the streets of Downtown LA with her handler.  She's an absolute sweetheart with a short, sleek tan coat.  She knows some commands and loves human attention.  When one of our volunteers sits for a rest, she'll plop right down next to him and tries to snuggle as close as possible.   She's been only "okay" in playgroups because she doesn't like pushy dogs.  If you're looking for a perfect, smaller dog, look no further.
