Gretchen von Geyer is a beautiful 6-7 year old German Shepherd. Sweet Gretchen enjoys her daily walks, using that time to stop and smell the roses and anything else she may encounter while out and about. Her mid-energy level keeps her active, but she also enjoys lazy Sundays or rainy days together with her favorite humans. She is a curious girl, she definitely wants to be included in whatever is going on around the house and will become your shadow. She is fostered with 2 other dogs and would love another playful dog in her new home. Gretchen is ready for her forever family!
Gretchen von Geyer is in a foster home, offsite, and is NOT at our rescue location in Los Angeles.
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN Gretchen von Geyer YOU MUST FILL OUT AN 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.

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.
