Pierre von Baar is a gorgeous, 16 month-old Belgian Tervuren mix (best guess). With Pierre’s beautiful furry coat, we could sit and pet him all day and never get bored (and neither would he!). Pierre has a “je ne sais quoi” about him that draws you in. He is sweet, gentle and overall easygoing and loves to spend time with others. He has excellent leash manners and is equally as comfortable and polite off the leash in settings such as playgroups. He is an avid mingler with other dogs and always kindly introduces himself, but most of the time he can be found getting pets from his humans (yes, even after you’ve given him many before!). He has done well meeting small dogs. Pierre is brushing up on all things “Dog 101” with his basic commands, and he can’t wait to charm you with the brains equal to his beauty. Pierre arrived at the rescue with his equally wonderful sister Babette, and they are available as an optional pair. Pierre won’t be here long, so come meet him ASAP!
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN Pierre von Baar 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.
