Hello – meet precious little Piper! She’s an adorable 12-week-old shepherd mix puppy with the most gorgeous sable coat. This active girl enjoys a competitive game of tug-of-war or fetch – keeping you entertained for hours as she enthusiastically voices her approval of the action! This fun-loving gal hasn’t met a toy she doesn’t like, which keeps her self-occupied when you need some free time. Her crate also serves as a cozy, comfortable respite from the action and overnight. Piper’s a healthy, curious pup who loves exploring her surroundings and meeting people, after which she’ll prefer to be by your side when she can. You'll be delighted that this smart lass knows several commands, comes when called, and is housebroken. Her foster mom describes her as a ‘super easy pup overall’ and is confident that she could be an ‘only dog’ in the home as well as a cherished member of your established pack. If you’d like to meet this beauty, please mention Piper on your application!
PS: She wanted us to know that there are cats in her foster home and she is very respectful of them.

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.
