Volunteer With Us
Help Us Give Rescued Dogs a Loving Home
come join our pack
Westside is comprised of a very strong family of volunteers. We cherish all our volunteers and are always in need of new ones. Whether it's walking, bathing, fostering, or transporting our dogs; assisting at outside adoption events and fundraisers; or lending a hand with administrative work, your commitment and service is very much appreciated. Our goal is simple: to save as many German Shepherd dogs as we can. We give them medical care, lots of food, exercise and love while they wait for their forever families. Your help allows us to continue to do this every day. If you are interested in becoming a Westside German Shepherd Rescue volunteer, please send us an email. We will respond as promptly as possible with a short questionnaire. Upon its completion, you'll be notified of the dates of Volunteer Orientations, which are held at the Westside facility in downtown Los Angeles. It is during the orientation where you will learn about the rescue, take a quick tour of the facility and be taught basic dog-handling skills.
