Banjo (aka Bondi) von Berkoth is an adorable, smaller sized (37 lbs) 3 year old mix of cuteness. As a proud member of the herding/cattle dog family, he’s seeking an owner who is familiar with the associated behavior traits. He'll do best in an adult home without a lot of visitors. Banjo is a calm guy with a cute prance to his gait. He’ll happily climb into your lap to earn some petting. With a list of commands he’s already mastered, he is housetrained, crate-trained and has had obedience and leash training, too. A good boy in the car, inside the house and the yard, Banjo likes to spend his time indoors. Friendly with other calm dogs, in his playgroups he explores the yard and mingles with his pals.

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.

In order to adopt any dog from Westside German Shepherd Rescue, one must fill out an adoption application first. Upon receipt of your application, a Westside adoption counselor will contact you.We do aerial home checks and you may be asked to supply pictures as well as arranging for a home visit prior to adoption.
Adoption fees vary with each dog and typically range from $150 to $500. They are set, taking into account the dog's age, training level, temperament, if they’re newly arrived, medical condition(s) (if any) and other factors. Adoption fees are used not only to rescue and place the dog you are personally adopting, but to aid in the future rescue and rehabilitation of other deserving dogs. Adoption fees are necessary; without fees, our rescue efforts would quickly come to an end. The adoption fee includes spay/neuter, microchip, and up-to-date vaccinations.
