Trooper von Trulben is a stunning 2 year-old German Shepherd. Trooper is an engaging, active and curious "big puppy." Like many shepherds he has multiple facets. He loves to have fun and play, including with other dogs. We laugh when he goes to the toy box and selects a toy, tosses it around, then goes back for another. Trooper is friendly and sweet with all of us at the rescue, he loves attention and leans in for pets. In a home setting he's shown some protective shepherd tendencies. For that reason, and because he prefers to dine alone, he is looking for an adult home with shepherd experience. Trooper needs some guidance and structure and likes to keep busy; he needs a good-sized yard and active lifestyle. Another playful dog would be great, as this boy runs happily into the play yard to greet other dogs and soon invites a play romp. He's also great around dogs on walks. While he's not for cats, he has done well meeting a small dog. Trooper is a smart dog, he knows his Sit and Down commands, rides well in a car and is housebroken with access outside. 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.
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN Trooper von Trulben 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.

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.
