Story
Lorraine IS AVAILALBE (updated 05-29-2023).To meet any of our dogs you must first complete our online adoption application on our website. For more information and the adoption application for Lorraine, please visit our website belowhttp://www.coastalgsr.org/dog_profile.php?ID=22453&name=LorraineLorraine and Marty spent their whole life together in a home, but when their owner passed away they were taken to the shelter. We don&#39t typically rescue Chiweenies, but we saw a GSD whose owner had died, was very scared at the shelter, and we wanted to help her. Then we read that she came in with a bonded pair of Chihuahuas/Dachshund mixes and we couldnâ&#194&#128&#194&#153t leave these two approximately 7-8 year olds behind, so we offered them a freedom ride and they accepted!There are so many perks to adopting a bonded pair of small dogs. One, you&#39re adopting a dog who already has a partner whom they know and love, so you don&#39t have to worry about being a chaperone and getting them out on &#39dates.&#39 Two, they&#39ve lived together their whole lives and have figured out each other&#39s love language. (Pro tip- it might be snuggling.) Three, and this might be the biggest one, is that their poops are so tiny! I&#39ve never had a Guinea pig, but these poops can&#39t be much bigger. You don&#39t even notice that there are two dogs going to the bathroom because all of their poop combined isn&#39t as big as ¼ of a GSD&#39s poop.The only downside we can see is that Marty and Lorraine are so great, you might want to adopt a second pair of bonded dogs. That&#39d be fine by them, as they get along well with other dogs. These two are total cuddle bugs, like to give out the kisses, and would love to join a family who loves to cuddle. Marty can be shy with strangers, but warms up quickly and will come ask for pets. Lorraine is a little more cynical about your motives and may keep her distance at first, but, before you know it, she&#39s your ride or die.As Lorraine and Marty are a bonded pair who would like to stay together, we will only adopt them as a duo (for just one adoption donation).The minimum adoption donation for adults is $375 and the adoption donation for puppies is $500. 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 tax deductible. The adoption donation provides that all dogs will be spayed or neutered, receive current vaccinations, and are microchipped. If not, arrangements will be made on an individual basis ( i.e., puppies who will need to be altered by 6 mos old). Special consideration may be given to those willing to adopt older dogs or dogs with physical problems.May 29, 2023, 5:57 am

Story
This young female Chihuahua Sami is looking for a long term foster or better yet her forever family! She was abandoned at a boarding facility. Her owners never came back to pick her up. How could anyone do this! We AWM stepped up, and we had her placed with a temporary foster. We are looking for a loving long term foster or better yet her forever family who will love and care for her. Sami's a total sweetheart! Although Sami gets along great with other dogs outside her territory, she needs to be the only queen of her castle (e.g. no other dogs in the home). She would do best with older children. She needs this chance. Would you be interested in opening your home and your heart to this sweetheart? Process needs to be 100% approved.

Story
My ex husband owned this dog for 9 years but recently passed away. He is extremely loving and obedient and very cute! Teddy is excellent with other dogs and people and has always been around kids, no known health issues. I am unable to keep him as we already had 3 dogs I also have a very hectic work schedule. Teddy is needy and will do very well with a real dog lover.

Story
Butters came to us as a stray before one of our wonderful foster families found him roaming the streets and took him in. We can't believe that anyone would ever let him go-he is simply wonderful! Butters is a loving dog who is shy at first but warms up quickly. He does well with a patient family who will give him continued love and support in his development. He'll also benefit from leash training and structured daily routine, including a potty schedule. Butters' face is full of expression; when his lip is up showing a bit of his teeth, you can tell he is enjoying himself! It doesn't matter what you're doing, he always wants to be involved and makes sure he plants himself right where you can see him. He absolutely LOVES treats, and runs to the treat bag when he hears it open. Butters needs an adult only home and would be okay with another small to medium sized dog. He weighs 12 pounds is about 2 years old. Fill out an application today to meet him!
