Charlie von Cologne is a beautiful, 2-year-old, female Shepherd mix. This darling girl is very sweet and loving, she gives kisses, and she loves being petted, nudging your hand for more please. At times she can be a little hesitant in new settings, and just needs a little encouragement. This medium-sized lady has excellent leash manners, meeting other dogs face-to-face well, and in playgroups she’s excited to run around, explore and check in with her fellow canines. Charlie’s social and sweet and seems to get along with just about everyone and is doing great sharing space at the rescue with other pups (but no cats on the invite list, please). She’s kind of the mom friend of doggy playdates — and have you seen her gorgeous eye shadow? Come say hi to Charlie and don’t be surprised when she crawls in your lap!

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.
