My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Gus IS AVAILABLE (updated 12-12-2025). To meet any of our dogs, complete our online adoption application on our website: http://www.coastalgsr.org/dogs/gus Meet Gus! Gus came to us after he was dumped on Christmas Eve behind a Walmart. He was picked up by Animal Control and we happened to be at the shelter when he came in with the officers. He was about 40 lbs overweight and had clearly been left to survive on his own. Thankfully, we had a foster home who took him in and started to work on his weight and his coat. About a week into his foster care, big boy Gus had a seizure. He was treated by the wonderful neuro team at VCA West Coast and hasn't had a seizures since! He is on a low dose of anti-seizure meds that he will stay on. Gus is a wonderful dog- sweet and stunningly handsome! He adores kids and loves his walks and any field trips! We believe Gus is about 4-5 years old. As he has been on his fitness journey, he is looking younger and younger! The minimum adoption donation is $375 for adults and $500 for puppies. This helps cover vet care, boarding fees, and other expenses. All dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

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!

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.
