Meet your new best friend, Ruger! Ruger landed at a So. Cal. shelter as a stray and no one came looking for him. When his time ran out, we invited him into the Coastal family.This handsome boy is approximately 4 years old and has gone through training and knows his commands. He is easy to walk on a leash and loves going on long walks. Ruger is good in the house, loves going for car rides, and is an excellent copilot for adventure. He has all the classic GSD traits: affection, loyalty, intelligence, and companionship.Ruger did not appear to have been socialized with dogs before coming into the rescue. He now does well with mellow dogs and has been attending public adoption events without any incidents. He would be best in a home by himself but could be with a mellow dog if there is structure and leadership to make it work. If you're looking for a good looking GSD bestie, and can provide him the structure that will allow him to thrive, then meet Ruger who could end up being the canine love of your life.

The minimum adoption donation for adults is $375 and the adoption donation for puppies is $500. 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 tax deductible. The adoption donation provides that all dogs will be spayed or neutered, receive current vaccinations, and are microchipped. If not, arrangements will be made on an individual basis ( i.e., puppies who will need to be altered by 6 mos old). Special consideration may be given to those willing to adopt older dogs or dogs with physical problems.March 7, 2025, 4:39 pm

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.

More about this rescue

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.
