This delightful girl exudes happiness from the moment you set eyes on her – her wagging tail and eager demeanor are impossible to resist. Although she might pull a bit on her leash in her excitement, Cocoa quickly responds to directions and settles into the rhythm of a delightful walk. This intelligent girl is housebroken, knows her sit command and takes treats with the utmost gentleness, showcasing her desire to please and her quick wit. In playgroups Cocoa is a social butterfly, reveling in the opportunity to frolic and engage with her fellow canines. If you're looking for a loving, sweet and energetic companion, Cocoa is the perfect match to brighten your days and fill your heart with warmth. (No cats please.) IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN Cocoa von Cologne YOU MUST FILL OUT AN ADOPTION APPLICATION ON OUR WEBSITE: www.sheprescue.org Application link: http://www.sheprescue.org/Application_to_Adopt_a_Dog%20Main.html 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.

Ty von Houston

Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Adult

Size

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Ty von Houston is a beautiful 7-8 year old Pitbull. She is a blue nose Pitt Bull who was grandfathered into WGSR as a puppy when we moved to our facility on Hill Street 7 years ago. It saddens us that she has been living in a kennel ever since. She is fed well and our staff walks her every day, but Ty needs a big-hearted adopter to show her what it’s like to live in a home and be loved by her very own person(s). Ty’s a big, sweet girl who loves getting belly rubs. She walks well on leash and enjoys running and playing with other dogs. She is housebroken and crate-trained. She likes giving kisses and just lounging by your side. Ty also revels in rolling on her back in the grass. She has a wicked tail wag that makes her whole butt wiggle. She has fun playing with puppies/young dogs at the rescue. She’s also treat-motivated and takes them gently. She did a few weeks of in-home training and was amazing. This special girl knows her sit and down commands and likes to show off in our kiddie pool. She is protective of her home, but isn’t that a good thing? Ty needs a loving hero – might it be you?

Junior is an affectionate dog who adores humans and gets along well with most dogs. Unfortunately, his tolerance for small dogs has diminished due to their tendency to bark at him. As a result, it's best to keep him away from small dogs during walks. Junior dislikes dogs approaching him at high speeds. He thrives when outdoors and enjoys sleeping in bed with his humans. Junior's loving nature is truly remarkable

Avery

Details

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

I am fostering Avery, a beautiful, two-year-old, female, pit-lab mix, 45lbs, spayed, microchip, all shots. Avery was at the Downey Shelter, and scheduled for euthanasia. I was unable to find a rescue to pull Avery, and the only way to save her was to welcome her into my home through adoption. Avery is well-behaved, and is showing remarkable progress in crate training and house training. She has interacted with my two dogs with no incident. She is affectionate, intelligent, curious, playful, smart, funny, and incredibly sweet. She responds well to direction, is easy to leash, and has a tolerant and obedient nature. I've been taking her to the dog park every day where she loves to run and play with the other dogs. She is so sweet it's ridiculous. Please adopt Avery she will make a wonderful addition to any loving family.

Story

Morticia is the most loving and loyal dog I have known! She is such an amazing girl, and is eager to please her owner. This little lady is a social butterfly and will say hi to all your neighbors on walks. She can be a bit reactive of other pets- although I have seen her get along with another dog in my neighborhood. I would ideally prefer for her to go to a place free of any other pets to give her the best shot in her new home. If you’re looking for a companion, Morticia may be your gal!
