Risa von Riegel is a beautiful, 2-3-year-old, coated German Shepherd. She's a sweet, gentle soul, very calm and loving around her people. Risa just wants to be by your side and win more petting. Likely housetrained and settling in at medium-energy level, she's a smart little lady who's already mastered many of her commands. A gentle walker with great leash manners, she easily heels for her person and likes to explore the great outdoors with you. Risa's tail is always wagging as she enjoys meeting other dogs and their walkers. She does very well in her playgroups, and is finding her favorite playmates. She's also passed her initial cat testing. Risa is a beautiful, gentle and loving girl, for those looking for a wonderful companion and soulmate.
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.
