Story

Hi, I’m Saphira! I might be a little shy when we first meet, but don’t let that fool you—I’m a sweet pup with a playful heart. Once I feel safe, I love to run, play, and show off my silly side. I’m still learning how to build confidence and would do best in a home with adults or older teens who can help me practice basic manners and positive social experiences. With patience and love, I know I’ll grow into the brave, happy pup I’m meant to be. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will thrive with your guidance, I’d love to be your pup.

Story

Decca IS AVAILABLE (updated 05-12-2026). To meet any of our dogs, complete our online adoption application on our website: http://www.coastalgsr.org/dogs/decca Decca is a rescue baby through and through. She was born right here in our rescue, adopted as a puppy, but returned when her young, energetic personality turned out to be a bit too much for the senior dog in her home. Now about 2 years old, and currently fostered with two senior dogs and her mom, we've learned that Decca will likely thrive as the only dog or possibly with another confident dog with proper introductions. She's a smart cookie who has already completed board and train and is currently polishing up her manners with a trainer in her foster home. Decca is sweet, playful, and eager to please. She knows her basic commands, is housebroken and absolutely loves toys and having a job to do. She loves playing 'chuck it' ball and will chase and return her ball to you all day long if you let her.. She is the kind of dog who lights up when she gets to work with her person. Decca truly shines with structure, guidance, and a handler who enjoys working with their dog. Because quick movements can startle her, and she has shown some resource guarding with certain items (both things shis is actively working on), we recommend a home with older, respectful kids. Like many young dogs who are still building confidence, she may react if startled, so her future family will need to continue advocating for her and supporting her training. What Decca really needs is a family who will respect her space while she settles in, continue building her confidence, and provide the leadership and consistency that will help her thrive. With the right guidance, this girl is going to blossom into an incredibly loyal, fun, and devoted companion. Decca would do best with a confident handler who enjoys training and giving their dog both mental and physical outlets. If you're looking for a smart, playful dog ready to learn, work and bond deeply with her people, Decca might be your girl. 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.May 12, 2026, 5:09 am

Story

Lancer IS AVAILABLE (updated 05-12-2026). 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 canÃ¢âÂ¬âÂ¢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 youÃ¢âÂ¬âÂ¢d never know it based on his personality. Ã°Å¸âÂÂâÂ¢ 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 doesnÃ¢âÂ¬âÂ¢t interact with them (by choice). When they get too rambunctious, he removes himself. Lancer is a gentle soul who canÃ¢âÂ¬âÂ¢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.May 12, 2026, 5:09 am

Bandit loves all things fun and has a joy for life that is unmatched! The minimum adoption donation is $375 for adults and $500 for puppies.
