Amadeus von Mozart is a gorgeous, 11-12 month-old, red-and-black German Shepherd who will surely turn heads when you walk him in your neighborhood. Just a little shy at first, he quickly warms up to become your best friend. At nearly 60 pounds he is a sizable lap dog, but being that close to you brings a smile to his face. Possibly housebroken and taking treats gently from your hand, Amadeus walks well on leash, staying close to you and being forever watchful of what is around both of you. He's even well-behaved walking in a pack of dogs. In our play yard, this handsome guy will meet other dogs face-to-face and mingle with them. His medium energy level fits him well and he knows his basic commands. Like most German Shepherds, he'll always have your back! (No cats for our boy.)
Rescued from the Riverside animal shelter.

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.
