🐾❤️ MEET ATHENA ❤️🐾

When forever isn’t forever - Athena was adopted as a puppy from Coastal, full of promise and dreams of a lifetime home. But sometimes life changes in ways no one expects. Family circumstances shifted, and she was given to a friend. Sadly, things unraveled from there. Athena was later picked up as a stray and found herself in the shelter.

We don’t share this to place blame, only to remind everyone that rescue journeys aren’t always straight lines. What matters is that Athena is safe again, back with us, and ready for a true forever this time. One where commitment can last through life’s changes.

Please let us know if you could be Athena’s forever forever: https://coastalgsr.org/adoption-application

🐾💙 MEET ETHAN 💙🐾

Ethan is Everest’s lil brother, he was the smallest of the litter, but his heart is anything but small. This sweet little love bug would be thrilled to be your constant companion. He's the most mellow of the boys and has a wonderfully gentle nature.
Ethan is crate trained and about 90% potty trained. He's up to date on all his puppy vaccinations and is microchipped. Always happy and eager to please, Ethan would love nothing more than to become part of a loving family.

Ethan is 4½ months old and weighs 28 pounds, and he's expected to stay a bit smaller than his brother Everest.

This little love bug is ready to meet you: https://coastalgsr.org/dogs/ethan

💙 🐾 MEET EVEREST 🐾 💙

Do you like to have fun? Looking for a puppy who does too? Then you need to meet Everest!

This happy, active pup loves to play and is always ready for a good time. He’ll happily romp with you, your kids, and your dog—as long as your dog is a good sport who enjoys other canines. Everest would do great as your one-and-only or as a companion to another confident, playful dog.

Everest is up to date on his puppy vaccinations, microchipped, and currently working on crate and potty training. He’s 4½ months old, weighs 29 pounds, and based on his paws and growth, we expect him to be around 70–75 pounds when fully grown.

Fun, friendly, and full of puppy joy—Everest is ready to meet his forever family!

🐾✨A YEAR OF HOPE - THIS WAS 2025 ✨🐾

2025 was a year full of love, hope, struggles and second chances. We cherish every single adoption and celebrate each one, because every "gotcha day" changes a life forever. Here are just a few adoptions that remind us that saving one dog may not change the world but it will change that dog’s world forever!

Myka found her happily ever after in 2025 - after weeks of running the streets of Riverside, scared and unsure of humans, she has officially traded survival mode for a life full of love, safety, and belly rubs. Against all odds, fear turned into trust and loneliness turned into family. Myka is now known as Greta, which, in short, means “pearl” - something beautiful formed through perseverance, the perfect name for Myka, who has overcome so much and has fought so hard to leave her scary past behind.

Thank you for being a part of the Coastal family and allowing us to save dogs like Myka!

Bevi found her happily ever after in 2025! She found herself homeless together with her mom, Adele, after their owner was incarcerated, stuck at a police station since they were stranded in an area without a shelter. Although the officers took amazing care of them, they were happy when when they were sprung by Coastal. Both ladies found their happily ever after and are living a life full of adventures and love now.

Bravo found his happily ever after in 2025, his journey began with love, and now it continues with love! After losing one owner and seeing the other move into assisted living, this good boy found himself in the shelter - we knew we had to rescue him when his time ran out, promising him a better tomorrow!

He quickly made friends with all the volunteers, while patiently waiting for a family to find him and love him. And boy, was his wait worth it, he is once again a cherished family member and loving life!

Thank you for being a part of the Coastal family and allowing us to save dogs like Bravo!

Aspen and Kiara found their happily ever after in 2025 - when we went to rescue Kiara on her last day at the shelter, we discovered that she had a BFF there: Aspen! They didn’t arrive together, but they survived together - kennel mates turned best buddies. We just couldn’t leave Aspen behind … and this is how a sweet Great Pyrenees snuck into Coastal German Shepherd Rescue OC!

Both girls are now loving life in their wonderful forever homes and we couldn’t be happier for them!

Thank you for being a part of the Coastal family and allowing us to save dogs like Aspen and Kiara!

Sammy found his happily ever after in 2025, he was with us a very long time. You see, he looks like the brawny guy, but under that big, tough exterior is a scared, sweet and sensitive soul. He had been seen walking with his elderly owner in a park until he was found at that same park, but all alone, still wearing a harness and dragging a leash. Despite all efforts, his owner was never located and Sammy ended up at the shelter. After we pulled him from the shelter, he was struggling to live in a kennel. With the help of Falco Dog Training OC, he finally learned how to dog again and became a volunteer favorite. Despite all the love and support he had in his volunteer family, it was still hard for him to win over potential adopters because of his fears. But this year, his wait was rewarded tenfold, his new family was so patient with him, they guided him through the adoption process with love and kindness. Sammy is now living the dream with a pack of four German Shepherd brothers and sisters and we couldn’t be happier for him!

Thank you for being a part of the Coastal family and allowing us to save dogs like Sammy!

This season, we’re celebrating the gift of second chances. Every other day, we’ll be highlighting one of our amazing rescue pups who’s dreaming of finding their forever family.

Follow along, share their stories, and help us bring them home for the holidays. ❤️🐾

Our last (but not least!!) featured pup is Buck! Buck is a young kiddo who came to us very sick, he was battling pneumonia. Thanks to great care and a lot of heart, he’s made a full recovery—and now? He’s back to being exactly what he was meant to be: happy, goofy, and ready for adventure.

This handsome guy is all about zoomies and playtime, his silly antics will make you laugh daily, he would love exploring the world with his favorite humans, offering loyal companionship and a big, joyful heart in return.

He’s healthy, thriving, and looking for an active home where he can keep discovering life, one adventure at a time.

If you’re searching for a fun-loving sidekick who’s already proven how strong and resilient he is, Buck might just be your perfect match: https://coastalgsr.org/dogs/buck-3
