Trooper von Trulben is a stunning, 2-year-old German Shepherd. He embodies boundless happiness and a playful spirit, being a joy to walk on leash and exiting his kennel delighted at the prospect of an outing with you. Trooper’s curiosity drives him to explore everything around him. He loves meeting new people and dogs during his walks and enjoys the company of six other dogs, walking alongside them with ease. His medium-energy level makes him an active and fun-loving companion, always ready for a good time. This playful and goofy boy loves to lean on you for petting, soaking up all the attention he can get! Trooper is highly treat-motivated and smart, knowing commands like “Sit” and “Down.” In playgroups Trooper shines as a great greeter, entering the yard comfortably and inviting other dogs to play. Though he is still learning boundaries, his push/pull play style is all in good fun. He truly enjoys his time in the play yard, running around and engaging with other dogs. (He's a no for cats.) With Trooper by your side you’ll always have beauty, smarts and a dynamic presence to accompany you everywhere you go!
Rescued from the Kern County 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.
