My story

Mozart von Morbach is a delightful, 1-2 year-old Shepherd/Dobie mix (our best guess). Magnificent Mozart is the sweetest boy, and his dark and handsome good looks will turn heads in the neighborhood. This charmer is one of those dogs who prefers the company of people over other canines. Mozart walks well on leash in a pack but doesn’t like pushy dogs in his face and does not have a future in off-leash playdates. This is perfectly fine for Mozart, who would rather hang around humans and get all the love and attention possible. He looks up to you for directions, knows sit, and will happily accept treats (with an open palm). He needs a large-dog-experienced owner to love and guide him. Mozart is ready to fit into his furever home! (No cats please.)

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.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

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.
