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.

Story
Please contact Adoption (coastalgsrsd@gmail.com) for more information about this pet. When Knox was a puppy, the first thing we noticed about him was that this cute little baby looked like a little old man. The second, for a German Shepherd, even a mix, he was vertically challenged. But his personality made up for anything he lacked in size. In a world of big and tall, Knox was very proud be be a small.   As we always hope, Knox found a home with another small. They were good friends. Unfortunately, COVID came along and after spending almost three years with his family, Knox developed separation anxiety when they had to go back to work. He was returned to Coastal where we have promised him that we will find a home that will this time be forever.   Knox is still very proud to be a small, walking among the big and tall. He can even walk under them if they're standing in his way. Don't let the short legs fool you though. This little "old soul" is very fast. He can run like the wind and keep up with many of his foster siblings. Knox loves people. He loves other dogs too. He likes an environment that is free of chaos and will try to control the chaos if his people don't. He has been known to correct the errant dog here and there. He loves to chase balls, loves to chase toys, loves to lay beside you wherever you are. He loves his doggie bed. He's okay in the crate as long as he's not alone. And did we say he loves his people? In case we didn't, he loves his people. His perfect world and family would include a family that can work with him and his separation anxiety, one who loves him as much as he loves them. Another dog would be good, as long as they don't want to be a pesky boss. He would like a girlfriend. He would love to go for walks and to go anywhere that he can people watch. And if his little legs, cute eyebrows and big smile don't touch your heart, read his eyes. They say it all. Please visit http://www.coastalgsrsd.org/to learn more about our dogs.
