Story

Fiona IS AVAILABLE (updated 02-07-2026). To meet any of our dogs, complete our online adoption application on our website: http://www.coastalgsr.org/dogs/fiona Fiona came to us with one of her pups. They were being given away 'free to good home' and were rescued by an animal lover who didn't want to see them land in the wrong hands! Fiona settled into the kennel life very easily and charmed her way into the hearts of all of the volunteers. She needed treatment for a cancerous tumor that she likely got when she became pregnant with her pups. The good news here is that she is done with her treatments and has been cancer free for over 6 months! Yay for Fiona! Fiona would love a home to call her own. She has been to obedience training, knows all her basic commands and walks well on a leash. She would do best in a home with older kids and no other dogs or cats. She loves car rides and would love an active lifestyle! If Fiona sounds like a fit for you, please let us know. We would love to chat with you about Fiona! 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.February 7, 2026, 6:09 am

Story

Meet Cairo, our incredible rescued Belgian Malinois who's ready to steal your heart and find his forever home! Cairo came to us from a high-kill shelter where he was battling a URI (upper respiratory infection). With dedicated veterinary care, he's now completely healthy, neutered, fully vaccinated, and bursting with life. What started as a second chance has turned into the discovery of one of the most delightful, un-Malinois-like Malinois you'll ever meet. While the breed is famous for intense drive, laser focus, and excelling in high-stakes work like police and military roles, Cairo is the charming exception that proves the rule. He actually failed police academy—not for any lack of intelligence or ability, but because he was far more interested in playing fetch, chasing toys, and making friends than in the serious business of bitework and patrols. His trainers couldn't help but laugh: this smart, capable dog just wanted to have fun! Cairo is very playful yet remarkably smart—he picks up commands lightning-fast and has mastered all the basics (and then some). He's fully house trained, leash trained, and responds eagerly to cues like sit, stay, down, come, and more. But his favorite thing? Curling up right next to you, laying his head in your lap, or sprawling out for belly rubs and quiet companionship. He's the ultimate velcro dog who thrives on being close to his people. Incredibly social and gentle, Cairo gets along beautifully with everyone—kids, adults, other dogs, you name it. His easygoing, affectionate nature makes him a wonderful fit for active families, couples, or anyone looking for a loyal, fun-loving companion who's happy to join in adventures or just chill on the couch. This special boy has overcome so much and now he's ready for a loving home where he can play, learn, snuggle, and live the joyful life he deserves. If you're looking for a Belgian Malinois with a twist—one who's equal parts clever, goofy, and cuddly—Cairo might just be your perfect match. Serious inquiries only—let's give this good boy the forever home he's been waiting for! 🐾❤️

Hi, I’m Heidi. I’m a very shy, nervous girl who needs a patient home where I can take my time settling in. Once I feel safe, my sweet side shines — I grow attached to my new friends and love staying close to the people I trust. If you’re looking for a quiet companion who will blossom with kindness and consistency, I might be the one for you.

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Hi, I’m Ruby! I’m a shy girl at first, especially when meeting new people, but once I feel safe, I can’t help but bounce around and show you how excited I am. I love playing fetch and will happily chase a ball as long as you’ll throw it. I get pretty enthusiastic on my walks and sometimes pull, so I do best with a walking aide to help me stroll like the distinguished shepherd I know I am. I’m not a fan of other dogs, so I’d prefer to be your one-and-only at home. I’ve lived in a home before, and with a little patience and understanding, I’ll settle into a new one at my own pace. If you’re looking for a loyal, playful companion who just needs a bit of time to warm up, I’d love to meet you!
