My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Axel von Belle is an adorable 11 week old Shepherd/Husky mix puppy. Axel is a little adventurer and love bug. He loves his humans but loves to roll around on the lawn and play with his doggie foster siblings. He would love a home with another dog. Axel is almost potty trained and also sleeps through the night. This pupper will love to spend his life with an active family!

Axel von Belle is in a foster home, offsite, and is NOT at our rescue location in Los Angeles.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN Axel von Belle 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.

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.
