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.

Anakin von Aach is a gorgeous 2 year old German Shepherd. Anakin is another dog from a more rural area who isn't too sure about life in a busy city kennel. He'd love to find a calmer adults only home away from all the hubbub. Anakin needs some time to adjust to new people and situations. He can be hand shy at first but off-leash he is calmer and more social. He's working with our professional trainer but he will still need a skilled handler who will help him feel more comfortable on leash. When it comes to his interactions with other canines, he meets them well but they don't hold his interest - and he does better with easygoing ones. He enters the play yard calmly, meets everyone well, avoids problems, and appears more relaxed and happy off-leash. Anakin would be so grateful if you would give him a chance.

Annabella von Arnstein is a beautiful 2-3 year old cream Shepherd mix. Annabella’s true personality will come to life as she feels more secure and warms up. She's another girl from a rural area who is adjusting to a new kind of life. While she appears shy and a bit timid at first, once she gets comfortable she will quietly come up to you, and she can bond quickly with her chosen person once in a home. Annabella is looking for a calm adult home that gives her time to adjust and also sets the rules. She is housebroken and enjoys a game of fetch. She enjoys her walks around the rescue, staying close to her handler as she can be a little shy in new environments. She meets other dogs with a wagging tail, but pushy dogs tend to intimidate her. In playgroups she's a curious girl as she wants to know what everyone is doing.

Axel von Apolda is a very handsome 2 year old Shepherd mix. Axel started his journey to Westside not knowing what life was really about. He previously lived in a rural area where we suspect he was not exposed to many people or different situations. Our professional trainer is working with this special boy who needs an equally special owner -- one who is experienced with dogs, as well as calm and matter-of-fact versus sentimental or overly-affectionate -- one who will continue Axel's transformation, together with some complementary training that Westside will provide in his new adults-only home. Axel has come so far. He now starts his day calmly and happily when he leaves his kennel. His leash manners, with just a little reminder, are great and he takes in all the smells of his new life as he walks down the street. Axel enjoys playgroups and interacts with all the dogs. He gravitates to the calmer dogs who match his personality and even enjoys playing with them. Those over-the-top ones, he avoids. At our rescue facility Axel has become an affectionate boy with the staff. He needs a little time to become comfortable with new people, so he needs someone willing to be patient with his progress. Axel will be so grateful for a confident owner whom he can trust to expose him to new experiences in life.

Baroness von Bautzen is a gorgeous 14-16 month old German Shepherd. This classic beauty needs a little time to settle in and is looking for a patient owner who can give her time to adjust. She enjoys the company of her doggie friends and would love to find a home with a furry sibling. Still a bit cautious and unsure, Baroness walks well on her leash and likes to stay close to you. She does well in playgroups, where she becomes more sure of herself and enjoys exploring the yard with her buddies nearby.

Blue von Bexbach is a gorgeous 9 month old Husky mixed with white Teddy Bear. His baby blues and rounded ears make you want to scoop him up for a cuddle, easy to do considering his smaller size of 30 pounds. Cute and sweet, Blue likes you giving him head and belly rubs, and will lean on you for attention if you wait too long. Just seeing you starts his tail wagging and his face smiling. Our mid-energy guy walks well in a pack of dogs, responding quickly to any needed corrections, and growling if another dog gets too close. We are working to socialize Blue more around other dogs; for now, he should be the only fur-ball in your home. Blue has a condition called mega-esophagus, readily managed by having him eat and drink in an upright position using a Bailey chair – kind of a high chair for dogs (the rescue can provide this chair). He enthusiastically puts himself in it, standing with his paws on the tray, waiting to be served. Think of how perfect he’ll look at the end of your bed or in the back of your car!

Brandie von Brakel is a beautiful 3-year-old German Shepherd mix – a special girl who needs a special owner. She's a sleek lady with a striking face and sparkling eyes. Her leash manners are good and, when needed, she listens attentively to corrections. House-trained and intelligent, Brandie already knows her basic commands and is eager to please. This sweet and playful girl needs a confident, kind and no-nonsense female owner who will set boundaries and who will not provide an overdose of physical affection, which causes Brandie to become overly protective of her owner and aggressive towards outsiders. She should be the only dog in the family. Our Miss Agility can jump a 5-foot fence so a secure environment is important. Westside’s professional trainer will help to transition Brandie into your home.

Bravo von Berlin is a beautiful 2-3 year old smaller sized German Shepherd. He is a calmer boy in our kennel setting, he settles in nicely on walks, and he walks well with other dogs and does not pull on leash. Bravo’s presence of mind requires a calm and confident owner; and the rewards will be infinite, as he will respect and treasure your bond - he can be very loving with his people. In playgroups, he enjoys meeting other calm canine friends, surveying the atmosphere, and returning to greet people. The kennel staff remark how he always has a smile on his face. He even knows his basic commands, and he is housebroken and crate trained. He would really enjoy a task or a goal. He wants to show you he can accomplish anything with the right structure. Although he generally does okay around dogs, he does not appreciate certain males, and needs a cat free home. Bravo is looking for his better half, one who will form a partnership based on honor, structure, and admiration.

Brooklyn von Berching is beautiful 3 year old German Shepherd. Brooklyn is absolutely stunning, smart and sweet….with her humans. She rubs up against her people and can be very engaging. Although Brooklyn is able to walk okay around other dogs with proper handling, she does have that female "in charge" trait and prefers to be your one and only (and she's a no for cats). She is excited when exiting her kennel and has an air of confidence. Her leash manners/training will need to be continued. She is, however, happy to give and receive affection from her handler. Brooklyn has German Shepherd loyalty, intelligence and confidence, but does need someone experienced to make sure those qualities are fine-tuned to make her a great companion. If you’re looking for a single vibrant gal and want to have your own personal buddy, Brooklyn’s the one for you.

Bruno Mars von Marienberg is a very handsome 3-4 year old Shepherd mix. This sweet boy is all about his people -- he loves attention and affection from those he knows, but can be a bit unsure initially with new people. Once comfortable, he's sociable and even goofy. On walks, Bruno Mars’s leash manners are good; he is ready to explore and happy to get out and about. His listening skills are superb and he responds immediately to your instructions. His energy level is a refined medium, so a stroll with Bruno Mars couldn’t get any better. Even walking with a pack, Bruno Mars trots along happily. In playgroups, Bruno Mars is quite social; he’s easy-going and curious, but will shy away from more assertive males – that’s not the Bruno Mars vibe -- he prefers to return to his humans, contently watching the comings and goings of others. So if you are looking for some “24K Magic” mixed with a little “Uptown Funk,” Bruno Mars is your guy.

Bruno von Bismark is a beautiful 2 year old German Shepherd. Handsome Bruno is the high school quarterback of his playgroups. He ventures out of his kennel excited and ready to go on a walk but, with some coaching, will focus his attention back to you. He needs to keep up with his leash-training, and Westside is happy to provide one free training session for Bruno upon adoption. We think he may be housebroken. When he meets other dogs, he can seem a little pushy at first and will be more comfortable around calm, easy-going types. This large and lovable boy enjoys all the attention he can get and will loyally return to you with his tail wagging. Bruno is ready to get off the bench and into your heart.

Bryce von Baunatal is a beautiful, 6-7 year-old German Shepherd. Bryce has the eyes of an angel and the heart of a saint. To Bryce, age is just a number and does not identify his energy and ability -- Bryce defies those stereotypes. He's a happy boy with bursts of enthusiasm, especially when he knows he’s about to go for a walk. This goofy boy may pull on leash but will settle in to a nice trot alongside you. Bryce does well in playgroups; he socializes with staff and other dogs, and enjoys exploring the play yard. He is not a fan of pushy pups, so will do best with friendly canine pals. He absolutely enjoys affection from his people and, if you can imagine that release of excitement, then Bryce will surely not disappoint, and you can’t help but laugh at his silliness. He is the perfect mixture of grace, gratitude and positivity, and he will surely make a family gush with pride. Bryce will patiently wait for you, but don’t wait too long.

Brynn von Bassum is a beautiful 12 month-old Shepherd mix. This great girl is the friendliest kid on the block, looking for a “block” to call her own! Possibly housebroken and with a great medium level of energy, Brynn adores going for walks, and she makes friends along the way – she’ll bark “Come play with me!” as she encounters her four-legged pals. Described as both sweet and gentle, Brynn loves human attention and doggy playtime in equal measures (but draws the line at cats). She’ll romp about the play yard with her canine friends, tossing around toys and jumping in for a game of tag.
