R***r Update: R***r was just discharged and is on his way home with his foster. We are so lucky R***r was able to pull through. It was really touch and go there for awhile. We will keep you posted on his progress - though we are now optimistic for a full recovery.
R***r's final bill was just over $30,000. That combined with his first surgery at $10,000 gives us a total of $40,000. Horrifying, right? We have received so many generous donations for R***r and are extremely grateful - thank you!!.
It seems we had an issue with our earlier posted donation link, so we're going to post it again here: https://www.paypal.com/donate?campaign_id=GV46X36F2BYJE
We do have a generous donor willing to match the next $2500 donations. Can you please help us make this happen. Again, thank you.🐾💙
R***r Update! All signs point to R***r being released today. ♥️ He has continued to eat and his spirits are great. We are waiting for the word from his medical team that he is being discharged. With the joy and excitement of R***r getting released, also comes the dread of paying his astronomical bill.
We have a very generous donor who has offered to match all donations today up to $2500. If you ever wanted to donate, today is the day! Your donations are tax deductible and 100% goes straight to R***r's bill. Please consider a donation today.

R***r Update: Look who finally ate something this morning. Keep getting better R***r. You've got the support of the entire Coastal community. We love you. 🐾💙
Update on Eleanor: Eleanor is now up to two mile walks. Plus, she gets another 1 1/2 miles in the evening. But for now, she sleeps. Resting like a champ. Later today - bath time.
R***r update. One of our volunteers gave him a visit this morning. He is already walking, but still a little groggy. He is expected to make a full recovery. We are still in need of a foster for R***r. He needs a home with no other dogs and preferably someone who can keep a close eye on him! If you can help R***r, please fill out our foster application: https://coastalgsr.org/foster.php
The total for his surgery was close to $16,000. If you could make even a small donation it would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you so much.
Update #2: R***r is out of surgery and we were very lucky. The vet said we had the best possible outcome. They did not have to remove any part of his stomach and we expect R***r to make a full recovery. This is no doubt due to the quick action of our wonderful volunteers.
We now have the final bill for his surgery and this is going to be a tough one - $15,862.25. Ouch! Please help if you can and thank you from the bottom of our hearts. ♥️🐾
Update: R***r’s surgery cost is estimated between $10 - $12k. 😬
We got a call this morning that R***r wasn't behaving like his normal self. Our volunteers were there in minutes (literally) and got R***r in to see the vet. Then, we got the not so good news. R***r's stomach has flipped. This is called GDV (Gastric dilation volvulus).
This is a life-threatening condition in dogs where the stomach becomes distended with gas and twits on itself. Some of you might remember our boy Smokey who had this condition last year and unfortunately did not make it. R***r is now in surgery and the vet is optimistic that we caught it in time.
Coastal community - we need your help. R***r's medical expenses will be roughly $5000. If everything goes well, after surgery he will need a safe and quiet place to recover. If you are able to donate, share the donation link, foster, or know others who are able to help R***r get through this tough time - please help us.
I'm attaching a video of our sweet R***r just before he went in this morning for surgery. We will keep you posted, as all of us here are praying for our boy R***r. Here is the donation link: https://coastalgsr.org/donate.php
The rescue gets notifications from various shelters quite often with puppies needing homes. We just received one such email and thought we'd share the photo and video with you. These puppies are young, 5 weeks old, and they don’t have a mom. You can foster to adopt and the rescue pays for all costs - food, vaccinations, crate, beds, etc. If interested, you could fill out an application here: https://coastalgsr.org/foster.php
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 Fiona, Axel, Hans and our new addition Naddaine.
