Say hello to Strudel! This handsome shepherd is quick to make friends and absolutely loves having people around him. He can struggle when being kept away from his favorite people and would benefit from professional training with signs of possible separation anxiety. His dog skills could also use some work to help match the enthusiasm he has for people. He would love an experienced home where everyone is over the age of 16 and looking to give him lots of structure and can provide him with the attention and companionship he craves!

Story
Meet Katara, a gentle soul who is still learning how to navigate the world around her. Shyness is how she handles new things but beneath it lies a sweet nature waiting to be discovered. Katara`s world has been limited, her social interactions few. She carries a sense of nervousness, a reflection of her under-socialized past. Katara yearns for a quiet home, one filled with patience and understanding. A home where she can slowly shed her fears and bloom into the loving companion she`s destined to be. She would benefit from a home where everyone is old enough to participate in her training. Adopting Katara is not just about giving a home to a shelter dog, it`s about opening your heart to a journey of love, patience, and growth. It`s about teaching Katara that the world can be a safe place, and in return, receiving unconditional love from a friend who will cherish you forever. She has been awarded a GoodPup Scholarship (a $200 value), which is one-on-one training at no cost to the adopter!She`s currently in foster care. Please call the center for more information!

Story
Decca IS AVAILABLE (updated 12-15-2025). To meet any of our dogs, complete our online adoption application on our website: http://www.coastalgsr.org/dogs/decca Hi, I'm Decca! I am a merry mix of some wonderful breeds. I am 44% German Shepherd Dog, 21% Labrador Retriever, 8% Golden Retriever and 7% Siberian Husky. I was born on 7/11/2025 to a beautiful mom who is primarily GSD and an alleged dad who was primarily Black Labrador. Somehow I ended up with some Husky characteristics; more than my siblings did. I was the most distinctive puppy in the litter. My 'baby' photo is included at the end of my photos. I was so darn cute! I was previously adopted by a family with 3 young children and a senior dog whose energy level was not compatible with mine. I returned back to my original foster home where I live with two older dogs and my mother (Libby). I am young, energetic and would do best in a home with a confident, well balanced dog who has a similar energy level. Or, I would be fine being the only dog in the home. Your choice. With the help of everyone in my past, I went through some special training that helped me learn many things including obedience. I am house, leash, and dog door trained. I am young - just over 1 year old - and I'm just a teenager. Like a teenager I can be stubborn and headstrong. I like to test my environment and can be both frightened and confident depending on the situation. All my vaccines are up to date and I am microchipped, and spayed. I love people and get along with my foster family dogs but need proper introductions and boundaries to feel comfortable in new environments. I have incredible potential to be your new best friend. When can we meet? 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.December 15, 2025, 5:44 am

Story
Lancer IS AVAILABLE (updated 12-15-2025). To meet any of our dogs, complete our online adoption application on our website: http://www.coastalgsr.org/dogs/lancer This handsome boy, around 5-7 years old, faced a catastrophic limb injury prior to landing with us. He was likely hit by a car, but we canââ&#194&#130¬â&#194&#132¢t say for certain. What we know for certain is that we couldn't say no and knew we had to help him! Sweet Lancer was picked up as a stray by Animal Control. He was non weight bearing on his front left leg and seemed to be in a lot of pain. The shelter had an X-ray done to check out the leg. The radiographs showed multiple fractures of the Ulna and of the Radius. The shelter sent an email out saying that this dog had to be rescued by 4pm. At first glance, we didn't think we could take on yet another complicated medical case, but we also couldn't stand the thought of Lancer being euthanized and we sent a volunteer transporter out to pick him up. Lancer went straight to our vet where his X-rays were evaluated and it was decided that the best outcome for him would be amputation, as his fractures were displaced and pretty old. (His leg had been left broken and mangled for some time.) We can't imagine how painful this was for him, but youââ&#194&#130¬â&#194&#132¢d never know it based on his personality. ðŸâ&#194&#128&#194&#153â&#194&#132¢ Lancer fully recovered from his surgery, can get up and down stairs, gets along with large and small dogs, and enjoys zoomies and playful dogs more than just about anything. This cutie is shy and timid around new people (especially men) at first, but once you build trust he'll follow you to the ends of the earth (to ask for belly rubs). He can be more scared of children, although he has lived with them and currently lives with teenagers in his foster home, but doesnââ&#194&#130¬â&#194&#132¢t interact with them (by choice). When they get too rambunctious, he removes himself. Lancer is a gentle soul who canââ&#194&#130¬â&#194&#132¢t wait to find his forever family. 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.December 15, 2025, 5:44 am

Story
Fiona IS AVAILABLE (updated 12-15-2025). 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.December 15, 2025, 5:44 am
