Grace von Norden is a gorgeous 18 month-old German Shepherd with a gentle soul and extra sweet personality. A true superstar out on the playground, Grace loves to wag her tail and greet other dogs to make them as happy and comfortable as she is. Very treat-motivated, Grace has shown to be eager to please as she shows off her impressive sitting skills. When on her leash, she heels easily and loves to be petted during walks by her human handlers. She is wonderful with her sister, Nina, with whom she plays, and we think she will eventually play with other dogs. Her prior family said she was good with children and cats, and she passed her initial cat testing with us. If you’re looking for an affectionate and kissable friend for life, look no further. Grace is a shining light that can make any house a true home with her loving disposition.

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.
