Thank you to everyone who came by our adoption event yesterday. We appreciate your support! We had amazing goodies, wonderful volunteers and of course, the stars of it all - our dogs Ruger, Axel, Sammy and our tripod puppy, Gunther. You can visit our website to learn more about these little beauties all available for adoption. https://coastalgsr.org/available_dogs.php
The holidays are fast approaching and we can't help feeling tremendously grateful. We look forward to special times ahead with our furry friends and are excited to learn how you all celebrate with your fur babies. Please share your photos with us. We love your dogs too.
Hello Coastal community! We want to thank everyone who stopped by our adoption event yesterday. We had a wonderful time introducing our dogs. #Petco
Our most recent rescue, Eleanor, had her surgery and is doing very well. This dog has simply captured our hearts. Whoever adopts her is going have an amazing companion.
Now we need your help covering her medical bills. Please consider donating to her cause. She is an amazing dog and we are so excited for her to get well and find her forever home. #VeterinarySurgicalSpecialists

We rescued Biscuit and Denali from the same shelter. Please help us find these wonderful dogs their forever home by sharing their video. For information about all our available dogs visit: https://coastalgsr.org/available_dogs.php
This sweet dog Maddie was left in the desert to fend for herself. Not on our watch! We zipped out there and brought her into our rescue. She is safe now and doing very well with her foster. We believe she is about 2.5 years old and ready for her forever home! For information on how to adopt Maddie visit: https://coastalgsr.org/adopt.php
Who has photos or video of their dog getting into mischief. I'll start. Here's Lucy the day after getting fixed trying to hide her cone. Nice try Lucy.
Interested in joining our foster team? We could use your help. We have three / 4 month old puppies who need fosters.

What are the forces that bring a 3lb gimpy sheppy-mix puppy to our attention? We don't tend to question those forces - we see the spirit in a photo. In an impassioned plea from a shelter desperately trying to help one little dog, Gunther flew into our DM's at literally 3.5lbs and we just couldn't ignore his adorable face and need for help. Can you blame us?
2024 has hobbled us in our ability to help shelter dogs. Boarding is prohibitively expensive and also very limited. Foster homes are few and far between. In over twenty years of operation, raising funds is harder than it’s ever been. But would you look at Gunther - we had to step in. With his deformed front leg (underdeveloped ulna - forearm) he was a third the size of his siblings, but now, this beautiful little puppy is safe and thriving.
Gunther had a successful surgery to remove his non-functional leg and is now a healthy, robust tripawd. Our decades in the service of animals has taught us that tripawds adapt incredibly well, are able to enjoy hiking, playing and go on to live normal lives. Gunther lives in a foster home with other dogs and is doing great with all of them.
We haven’t done many fundraisers in 2024. Times are rough for so many rescues and shelters, so we’ve tried to be specific in our request for help. Gunther’s surgery resulted in $6000 out of our meager funds and we firmly believe that Gunther is worth the request for donations. So here we are asking for your help.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping us help Gunther.

When fostering a dog recovering from two broken legs - who can’t go for walks, you need to bring the outside world to her. Chloe loves to go for a drive. Check out our available dogs at: https://coastalgsr.org/available_dogs.php
Summer Time Woes - We are drowning in mommies and babies over here! Momma Rain found herself in a city animal shelter in the high desert with no way out. This family was “Rescue Only” due to the pups age and being dependent on mom. Our foster homes were full and no room to be found until a kind soul heard about Rain’s plight and offered to house the whole family until they are adopted!
If you are interested in adopting one of these puppies please fill out our application. https://coastalgsr.org/adopt.php
Update on Chloe - I picked her up from surgery last night. We carried her upstairs and she settled in for the night. Stayed tuned...
The cost for her surgery was just over $8000. If you are interested in helping us cover her medical fees you can donate here: https://www.paypal.com/donate?campaign_id=GN3VPFCCZY2M4
