Story
🌙 Meet Venus 🌙 Venus is the more reserved sister — shy at first, but don’t be fooled. Once she warms up (which happens pretty quickly), she turns into a sweet, loving companion who enjoys being close to her people. Like Serena, Venus is a very quick learner and about 75–80% potty trained, showing great progress. She loves chew toys and stuffed animals and is respectful of everything else in the house. Paw wipes after walks? No problem. Baths? Totally fine. Blow dryer? Absolutely not — towel or air-dry is the way to her heart. Venus is still gaining confidence with the outside world. Bikes, scooters, and runners can be a little scary, but she’s improving with gentle exposure. Her leash skills are developing well and continue to get better each day. Venus would thrive in a patient, loving home that lets her blossom at her own pace.

Story
🌸 Meet Serena 🌸 Serena is the social butterfly of the duo. She loves people and happily says hi to everyone she passes — strangers, neighbors, new friends… all potential besties in her book. She’s a smart, fast learner who’s about 75–80% potty trained and improving daily. Serena enjoys chew toys and stuffed animals (and only those — she’s very polite about household items). She does great getting her paws wiped after walks and is calm and cooperative during bath time. The blow dryer? Hard pass. Towel or air-drying is her preference. Outside, fast-moving bikes, scooters, and runners can startle her a bit, but she’s gaining confidence every day. Leash training is coming along nicely, and most of the time she walks well. Serena is affectionate, curious, and ready to charm her way into a forever home.

Story
Please contact Adoption (coastalgsrsd@gmail.com) for more information about this pet.Hi, my name is Trapper! I am a 3 year old handsome male who was brought to Coastal in June of 2023. It’s taken me a while to adjust to life at the ranch as my time prior was spent in a small kennel at a kill shelter, I had no idea that dogs could walk around in the open with people! When I started living at the ranch I so badly wanted to play with people and other dogs, but was so anxious and wasn’t sure exactly how to play. All of my volunteer friends have been doing an amazing job at not only working with me physically with walks, obstacles and toys but mentally as well with commands. I LOVE getting my commands right for my volunteer friends and making them happy! I spent a lot of time watching all the other dogs play and run and recently I was able to make some 4 legged friends of my own! My newest best friend, and my biggest admirer is Phoebe who is a young female shepherd!   My perfect furever family would need to be someone who knows “German Shepherds” and who has the  time and patience to work with me physically and mentally. I would love to be adopted by someone who can play fetch, run, practice obstacles and work on my commands with me as much as possible! I do best having a structured schedule as it keeps me in line. As of now, I tend to favor a female 4 legged companion but my volunteer friends will be able to update that later as I continue to work on my socialization and meet new friends! I can’t wait to play fetch with you! Please visit http://www.coastalk9gsrsd.org/to learn more about our dogs. Click on available dogs to see further descriptions. If you are interested in me, please contact us  at  information@coastalgsrsd.org or call (858) 779-9149. Don't forget to fill out our online application. The minimum adoption donation ranges from $300 to $400. 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 100% tax deductible. Prior to placement, all dogs will be spayed or neutered, receive current vaccinations, and are usually microchipped. If not, arrangements will be made on an individual basis. Special consideration may be given to those willing to adopt older dogs or dogs with physical problems. Our adoption process begins with completing an application on-line. A phone screening will soon follow, and lastly a home visit will be conducted by our volunteers. We show our dogs at adoption events every weekend! Check our our website to see where we'll be next! Coastal German Shepherd Rescue of Southern California is a non-profit 501(c)3 public charity dedicated to finding loving homes for abandoned German Shepherds. Your tax deductible donations go to support these very deserving animals. Coastal was formed to serve communities in the counties of San Diego, Orange, Los Angeles and the Inland Empire. We are committed to finding loving permanent homes for the orphaned dogs in our care. Coastal is an all volunteer, no-kill, 501 (c) 3 non profit organization.November 2, 2024, 12:18 am
