My story

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

Chase von Colditz is a gorgeous cream and black 3-4 year old German Shepherd who is ready to walk right into your heart—literally, because he walks beautifully on a leash. Chase is very friendly with all of us at the rescue, readily going up to new people, and so appreciative of any and all attention and petting. We hope he doesn't mind that we tell him he's a "pretty boy" because, well, he is! When we have him in the office, he settles down nicely, lying right by his handler's feet. Smart and eager to please, Chase is a dream student who already knows his "sit" and "down" commands. In doggy playgroups, this boy is a superstar who shows excellent social skills, inviting other dogs to play, while also frequently checking back in with his people. (For now we aren't recommending him for children, as he prefers to dine undisturbed.) He is reported to be good with chickens and tortoises. Whether he is relaxing by your side, playing fetch, or heading out for a trail hike, this affectionate companion is the total package and ready to be your new best friend. Another playful pup in the home would be great. Hurry down to meet wonderful Chase!

Rescued from the Downey animal shelter.

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.
