Story
I found this little girl on the streets with a homeless couple and brought her home. I’ve fallen in love with her, she’s easy going, gets along with my dog and my cat but will need a LOT of training and exercise due to her breed. Mazzy is super sweet and snuggly and is very playful. She’s around 2 mos now. I just rescued her from the streets beginning of the year.. She has learned come, sit and stay within weeks so she is quite smart! I would love to find a loving, patient and active family for her that can provide the support, time and training and of course love, she deserves.

Story
Fiona IS AVAILABLE (updated 02-06-2026). 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 6, 2026, 6:02 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! 🐾❤️

Click Here to Sponsor Me!  Adoption APPLICATION: Muttsinneed.org/adoption-application   ** Application must be completed prior to a meet & greet.                                   Our Adoption Process:Muttsinneed.org/adoption-process  Hi! My name is Honey and I definitely live up to my name. My foster mom says she calls me Honey because I am super sweet. I'm a little shy at first, but as soon as I know I can trust you, I just want your love & to love you. Psst... this can easily be accomplished by brushing me!! (Hint, hint!!)     I am a female, Belgian Malinois mix and around 3 yrs young. I play well with other dogs of all sizes, I'm ok with cats & children. Sometimes I do like chasing squirrels though because they sit there and laugh at me.    I was abandoned by my owner when they moved and left Blue & I behind. I was forced to live outside with Blue in the front yard of my old house. The new residents wouldn't let us come inside and fed us their scraps if they had any. Then, one day, Blue and I were out front playing and some scary person just snatched me up and took me to this stinky, scary place that had a bunch of other dogs there. I didn't like that place. After being there a few weeks I was scheduled to be put down, but thankfully an independent Rescuer, who originally saw me on the street and was trying to help me saw my picture along with my buddy Blue, and found a rescue to come save me. I arrived at my foster mom’s house and I was so happy to see my buddy Blue there too!! He's my best friend, my rock, my solid, my everything. I'm a very well behaved girl! I love to play hide and seek with Blue. I'm submissive and avoid confrontation. I still need some help with basic commands, but in time, I will get there. I am a people pleaser and wouldn't want to disappoint you!   To meet me submit an application at:https://www.muttsinneed.org/adoption-application.html  March 30, 2025, 11:35 pm
