Story
Meet Ducklett, the tiny 6 month Old 20 pound miracle pup who's stealing hearts everywhere she goes! Ducklett our adorable Border Collie puppy came into the world in the most heartbreaking circumstances. Born to a backyard breeder who was selling her and her siblings for thousands of dollars each, Ducklett ended up confiscated and landed in a high-kill shelter. Just minutes away from euthanasia, our rescue stepped in at the last possible moment to save her life along with her siblings. Despite her rough start, Ducklett is pure sunshine wrapped in the most gorgeous black coat with striking white markings and the most stunning, soulful eyes that sparkle with intelligence and sweetness. She's still a puppy small even for her breed but don't let her size fool you; she's already showing that classic border Collie charm: bright, playful, and incredibly loyal. Ducklett is fully house trained, up to date on all her vaccinations, healthy, and bursting with love to give. She craves nothing more than to know what real love feels like after everything she's been through. This sweet, gentle girl is ready to bond deeply with her forever family, whether it's cuddling on the couch, going on gentle adventures, or just following her people around with that devoted Collie. If you're looking for a one-of-a-kind companion who is equal parts beautiful, affectionate, and resilient, Ducklett is waiting to fill your home with joy. Could she be your forever puppy?

Story
Meet Willow, a beautiful 4½-month-old, 19 lb Great Pyrenees mix with a soft, fuzzy coat and the most striking black-and-white piebald markings. Her DNA is below. Willow was born with a condition called microphthalmia in both eyes, which means her eyes did not fully develop and she is blind. But Willow certainly doesn’t know she’s different! This special girl has an incredible joy and zest for life and approaches each day ready for her next adventure. Willow is exceptionally smart, curious and eager to learn. She already knows “sit” and gets excited when she hears the word “ready?” because she knows a fun activity is about to begin. She’s currently learning “find it,” working on fetch, and absolutely loves playing with her flirt pole. Because she can’t rely on her vision, keeping her mentally engaged and giving her opportunities to use her other senses will be an important part of helping Willow thrive. She’s also doing wonderfully with her routine. Willow sleeps quietly through the night in a crate in her foster’s bedroom—not a peep! She keeps her pen clean during the day and is working on learning how to find the door when she needs to go outside. Above all, Willow is incredibly sweet, friendly and full of personality. Her blindness doesn’t take away from her life—it simply means she experiences the world a little differently. She is going to be such a fun and rewarding companion for someone who is excited to continue working with her, teaching her new things and giving that brilliant little mind plenty to do. Willow is ready for a family who will embrace what makes her special and give her the active, engaging life she deserves. In return, they’re going to get one very smart, very happy and very lovable girl! Willow’s Primary DNA is: 26% Great Pyrenees 16% Siberian Husky 11% Chow Chow 8% Border Collie 7% Australian Shepherd 📍San Clemente, CA Apply to meet Willow at www.lovebugsrescue.org Adoption fee is $400 and includes her spay, microchip, vaccines/deworming/flea treatment current.

Meet Mustang Sally! Despite her wild name, this sweet girl is anything but untamed. Mustang Sally is a gorgeous 2-year-old, 35 lb Border Collie mixFar from being a wild mustang, Sally is exceptionally well-mannered, amazingly patient, and completely open-minded when meeting new people and other dogs. She is perhaps a bit shy when meeting children, although she is super nice, we think it would be best to have her in a home with older teens and adults. She loves soaking up all the pets and attention she can get, and walks wonderfully on a leash. Mustang Sally ended up at the shelter through no fault of her own and is ready to bring her calm, loving heart to a forever home.To meet Mustang Sally, please fill out an adoption application HERE: https://muttsinneed.org/apply/adopt

Marshall IS AVAILABLE (updated 10-12-2026). To meet any of our dogs, complete our online adoption application on our website: http://www.coastalgsr.org/dogs/marshall-2 Meet Marshall! 🐾 Marshall is a handsome 2-year-old, 45-pound Shepherd & Cattle Dog mix with a heart as big as his smile. Rescued from the Riverside shelter, he’s now ready to find the forever family he’s always deserved. Marshall is incredibly people-oriented and happiest when he’s right by his person’s side. Whether you’re heading out for a walk, taking a car ride, or playing a game of fetch in the backyard, Marshall is all in. He loves being included in everyday adventures and will gladly be your loyal companion wherever life takes you. This smart boy is eager to learn and has already mastered sit and down, showing just how intelligent and trainable he is. He thrives on positive attention and enjoys spending quality time with his people. Marshall also gets along well with friendly dogs around his own size.  However, he does not do well with cats, so a cat-free home is a must. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate, and fun-loving best friend, Marshall is ready to fill that role. All he needs now is a family to love him as much as he’ll love them. Could Marshall be the missing piece of your family? The minimum adoption donation is $375 for adults and $500 for puppies. This helps cover vet care, boarding fees, and other expenses.
