My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Paloma von Prezelle is a stunning, 3-year-old German Shepherd. This girl is the picture of beauty and smarts! In an almost human-like fashion, Paloma will offer you her paw when she wants attention—so charming. Likely housebroken, her hobbies include learning new tricks (she knows sit, paw and down), getting head scratches and exploring. Nothing is more exciting to this girl than the idea of going on a walk or adventure. Paloma walks well with other dogs and meets them okay. This medium-energy girl does best in playgroups with easygoing dogs; she avoids pushy or overly-energetic pups and hangs out with her calmer friends. She enjoys checking in with people too (for those head scratches she likes so much). Paloma wants to soak up all the attention you have and would love a home with people who appreciate the fine art of pets and walks (and no small dogs or cats). Take her paw and never let her go—Paloma is the heart dog you’ve been waiting for.

Rescued from the Palmdale animal shelter.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN Paloma von Prezelle YOU MUST FILL OUT AN ADOPTION APPLICATION ON OUR WEBSITE: www.sheprescue.org

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.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

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.
