Story
Belladonna IS AVAILABLE (updated 07-18-2026). To meet any of our dogs, complete our online adoption application on our website: http://www.coastalgsr.org/dogs/belladonna Meet Belladonna — a stunning Belgian Malinois beauty with brains, athleticism, and personality to spare. At 2â€Âׂ years old, this smart girl is the total package: affectionate, playful, fiercely intelligent, and always ready for action. Whether she’s chasing a ball, showing off her zoomies, or learning something new for treats, Belladonna brings enthusiasm to everything she does. Like a true Malinois, Belladonna is highly energetic with a strong prey drive, so lizards and birds keep her attention on walks! She already knows her basic commands — sit, down-stay, and come — and she’s crate trained, sleeping quietly through the night like a pro. It’s not known yet how Belladonna interacts with other dogs, cats or children. Belladonna’s story could have ended differently. Surrendered by her family during a move, she landed in a high-kill shelter in Downey and was placed on the euthanasia list. Thankfully, a dedicated rescuer stepped in with the support of Coastal German Shepherd Rescue to give this incredible girl the second chance she deserved. Belladonna is looking for an active, experienced home that understands the Malinois breed and can keep both her body and brilliant mind engaged. Agility, hiking, advanced training, sporting activities — she’s ready for it all. In return, she’ll give her person unwavering loyalty, endless fun, and a bond like no other. 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.July 18, 2026, 5:09 am

Story
Bella Bluebird came to us with her best friend, Jasper Junco, after the pair was surrendered to Los Angeles Animal Care & Control’s Palmdale Shelter for reasons unknown. On May 4th, we welcomed both dogs as Frosted Faces, and they have quickly captured our hearts. Bella are Jasper are friendly and gentle pups who share a deep bond and truly love being together. They have spent their lives side by side, and we are searching for a special family willing to open their home to both of them, so they can continue their journey together. Bella and Jasper recently returned from spending five weeks in a foster home, and their foster mom shared this rave review: "One could not ask for two better house guests. Bella and Jasper adore each other, and together they bring warmth, calm, and plenty of tail wags to every room they're in. They've had zero accidents, zero destructive behavior, and somehow - remarkably - don't even bark at the doorbell. Guests are greeted with quiet curiosity and an enthusiastic request for ear scratches and love. Bella is sweetly spunky for an 11-year-old. She'll chase a ball with enthusiasm (and occasionally even bring it back), squeak a toy with gusto, and then plant herself right next to you for a well-earned snuggle. Jasper is a big, gentle bear of a dog — easygoing, content, and absolutely over the moon every time he hears "good boy." He can catch a ball when the mood strikes, but he's just as happy watching the world go by from the sidelines, tail wagging. Both dogs are devoted snugglers who simply love being near their people. They adore being brushed — which is fortunate, because they are gloriously fluffy. They ride beautifully in the car, settling in quickly and happy to go anywhere. Jasper walks fantastically on a leash; Bella pulls a bit, particularly when other dogs are around, so she does better in a harness. We are reinforcing basic commands with them, and they have become wonderfully gentle when taking treats. And they remain calm and sweet even when receiving gentle pets from a toddler. Bella and Jasper are dedicated to each other, and I hope they will find their forever home together. Bella has some weakness in her back legs, so she'll thrive in a home that lets her take it easy — no steep stairs or rough play. Her leash reactivity toward other dogs means a quieter walking routine suits her well. With this pair you get two dogs who will make you feel like the greatest human alive, every single day. If your home has room for two furry best friends, these two are ready to fill it with love." To meet this super special duo, please email: placement@frostedfacesfoundation.org

Story
9‑year‑old Turbo and 8‑year‑old Oreo are two incredibly sweet brothers who were surrendered together after their owner had to move to a memory care facility. They’ve lived side‑by‑side since puppyhood, and it’s obvious they were deeply loved. Turbo and Oreo went on a Frosted Field Trip, and their foster family family had only wonderful things to report: Turbo and Oreo are calm, friendly, happy boys who adore each other and are looking for a family willing to welcome them together. They’re easy housemates, perfectly potty trained, great sleepers, gentle with people, and total cuddle professionals. They’ve clearly lived in a home before and settle in quickly. Turbo The confident “big brother.” Calm, intelligent, expressive — a shepherd face with Aussie/cattle‑dog smarts. He loves toys, belly rubs, and being invited onto the couch. Oreo Soft, sweet, loyal, and always by your side. He leans his whole body into you and follows Turbo’s lead. Together, they’re relaxed, gentle, and lovable. They share food, water, treats, toys — even pee spots — with zero possessiveness. They nap often, love short walks (Turbo’s mobility limits them to ~10 minutes), and enjoy sunbathing through a dog door. Oreo has mild anxiety when left alone but settles quickly with Turbo’s calm presence. They don’t chew things, don’t counter surf, don’t try to escape, and aren’t bothered by fireworks. They know their names, come when called, and are wonderfully obedient. Turbo may chase cats, so a cat‑free home is best. These bonded brothers are ready for a soft landing, a cozy home, and a family who will love them as much as their first person did. If you’re looking for two gentle souls who will fill your home with warmth, loyalty, and goofy sweetness, Turbo and Oreo are waiting. To meet Turbo and Oreo, please email: placement@frostedfacesfoundation.org
