My story

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

Kilo von Marburg is a beautiful 3 year old long-haired German Shepherd (maybe with a touch of something else). Kilo absolutely adores his people, he is ALL in once he knows you. Kilo lived in a family with other dogs but was given up because of landlord issues. With new people at the rescue he is low key and reserved, spend some quality time and he'll roll over and give you his paw, demonstrating his trust and affection. When he sees his favorite people at the rescue, he lights up, smiling and wagging. Smart, soulful, and on the calmer side, Kilo is housebroken and knows his "Sit" and "Down" commands. He walks well on leash, starting off calmly and staying focused on his handler, even when walking alongside other dogs. In playgroups, he prefers mingling with his favorite people rather than engaging deeply with furry playmates, though he greets other dogs well and simply avoids the pushy ones. With a passing grade for cats, Kilo is ready to bring his calm, loyal and loving spirit to a forever home. Kilo bonds deeply with his person, so someone home a lot would be preferred.

Owner turn in - landlord issues.

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.
