Sam's story is a sad one. Sam was relinquished with his buddy to a shelter. His owner was in a tough situation and didn't think she had any other options. By the time she learned of Coastal, Sam's buddy was adopted from the shelter and Sam went into depression. He was scared and fearful, which resulted him being labeled as 'Rescue only,' meaning he could not be adopted by the public. Either a rescue would have to come to his aid or he would not make it out of the shelter alive.After hearing the gal's story, we had to help. When Sam came to the kennel he was scared and withdrawn. His care takers spent time quietly talking to him. It dawned on them that he may need a friend since he was likely missing his pal. After being paired up, he did a 180! Upon spending some time in the yard, we quickly discovered that Sam loves to play catch. He loves other dogs and is an overall happy boy.Sam will likely prefer a home with another dog as it gives him confidence and companionship.

Rescue Group Info...
Coastal German Shepherd Rescue of Southern California is a non-profit 501(c)3 public charity dedicated to finding loving homes for abandoned German Shepherds. Your tax deductible donations go to support these very deserving animals. Coastal was formed to serve communities in the counties of San Diego, Orange, Los Angeles and the Inland Empire.
Coastal is dedicated to providing new beginnings for homeless German Shepherds who have been abandoned, neglected, abused, relinquished by their owners or just left at local shelters to await an uncertain future.
We are committed to finding loving permanent homes for the Orphaned dogs in our care. Coastal is an all volunteer, no-kill, non profit organization.
Our mission is to educate the public about German Shepherds, their lifespan, personality, activity level, along with overall responsible dog ownership. We also raise awareness of over population of animals through education, training, spaying and neutering. We work very hard to match each dog with the adoptive families.

Make a donation to the Saving Gideon Fund!
In Gideon's honor, we would like to start a Saving Gideon Fund. This fund will be for seriously injured dogs who need immediate medical care. Often times the decision to save a life depends upon how much money is in our bank account. It's very sad, but unfortunately the truth! We would like to create this fund so that the next time we are asked to save a severely injured dog we can say YES!
Please help us to create this fund in Gideon's honor!
This fund will allow us to save more injured German Shepherds like him.
We hold weekly adoption events at Petsmart in Aliso Viejo, CA. Our event hours on Saturdays are from 11:00-3:00 p.m. unless otherwise noted.

Come out and meet the dogs!
If you would like to meet a dog outside of our event hours, please contact the counselor referenced for that dog.
All prospective adoptive families must complete an on line application followed by a telephone interview and then receive a home visit before a German Shepherd is placed in their forever home.
Our adoption donation is $300 for Adults and $400 - $500 for Puppies. This amount only partially covers the cost of veterinary care, boarding fees, and other miscellaneous expenses involved in the temporary care and adoption of our dogs and is 100% tax deductible.
Prior to placement, all dogs will be spayed or neutered, receive current vaccinations, and are usually microchipped. If not, arrangements will be made on an individual basis. Special consideration may be given to those willing to adopt older dogs or dogs with physical problems.
Donations are tax deductible and also help other dogs in need!
