Brutus von Brodersdorf is a gorgeous, large-boned, 4-month-old German Shepherd mix puppy. Brutus knows how to sit and is working hard at his training, including mastering the perfect puppy head tilt. This boy is excited about the world from the time he wakes up to the time he goes to sleep. Walks are one of his favorite to-do list items -- sniffing every tree is a must. Brutus meets other dogs well on a leash and walks well in a group. A true extrovert, Brutus is always ready for playgroups so he can romp with other pups, including his brother Bruiser (who he’d love to go home with), and run around to inspect every inch of the yard. Brutus might be part Golden Retriever, and his goofy energy supports this theory. At a medium-large 53 pounds and growing, Brutus thinks he’s the perfect size to crawl in your lap and give you plenty of kisses. And he’s so cute and earnest that it’s hard to disagree! Sweet boy Brutus wants to meet you! Come say hi and meet this joyful pup! (No cats please.)
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN Brutus von Brodersdorf YOU MUST FILL OUT AN ADOPTION 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.
