Story
Charlie is 2 years old. She is very excitable around new people. She will follow basic sit and stay commands. She is crate trained. Her most active time of day is AM. When night time or cloudy days come along she wants to be inside. She will do almost anything for a treat. I have tried to keep up with her energy but I am not able to give her the activity that she needs.

Story
Patty is approx 3 1/2 years old. She can be an indoor or outdoor dog. She is crate & house trained. She sits on command and is a good listener. She likes to be walked and is a good companion dog. Backyard must be fully fenced, if not she may try to escape. She is very sweet. Unfortunately we do not have enough time for her walking needs due to extensive work hours & personal family obligations so we are rehoming her for that reason. Please consider Patty as we urgently need to rehome her. Thank you!

For more information and the adoption application for Timmy, please visit our website belowhttp://www.coastalgsr.org/dog_profile.php?ID=21698&name=TimmyTimmy is a sweet boy who is still a little scared of all of the changes in his life, but is starting to come out of his shell and gets along with other dogs. He&#39s definitely afraid of traffic and is going to need a home that&#39s willing to work with him. He&#39s got one of the most expressive faces and adores the people he interacts with on a daily basis.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.

Story
Fargo IS AVAILALBE (updated 04-25-2024).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 Fargo, please visit our website belowhttp://www.coastalgsr.org/dog_profile.php?ID=21785&name=FargoFargo is a true working dog who is motivated by his stomach and toys. He&#39s ridiculously smart and obedience trained, but wasn&#39t socialized prior to his rescue. He&#39s spent his time with us training and now just needs someone who will help him transition what he&#39s learned into becoming part of a family.We rescued Fargo from the OC Shelter and he&#39s proven to be a smarty pants with a nose that never stops. He looks to have had no structure in his previous home and will do best with someone who has large breed experience (working dog experience a plus!) and understands dogs who need proper introduction to new people. He&#39s a big puppy and can be fearfull around fast moving people whom he doesn&#39t already know, so a low traffic home with no children is recommended. He is, however, super food motivated and follows direction like a well oiled machine once heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s bonded with you, so he just needs to find someone who will work with him and allow him to grow into a perfectly balanced boy. Fargo loves his toys, his walks, is obedience trained, and a super quick study. He knows sit, down, stay, come, heel, swing, place, back, drop it, slip, hupf, nein, and then some. This handsome boy is ready to move into a home of his own!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.

Gunner IS AVAILALBE (updated 04-25-2024).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 Gunner, please visit our website belowhttp://www.coastalgsr.org/dog_profile.php?ID=21838&name=GunnerHere&#39s the thing about this really smart, handsome, smart, gorgeous, smart GSD: He&#39s smart. He can also be stubborn. He&#39s like a teenage boy in the body of a GSD. ð&#194&#159&#194&#152&#194&#129Gunner is just about the most well trained dog in our rescue. He&#39s been working on his obedience game for over a year and knows all of the tricks. He has a relationship with certain volunteers in which he understands they are the leaders and he is the follower. Once you achieve that relationship with him, he&#39s just about the most fun canine companion in the world! But, and here&#39s the but, you don&#39t have that relationship with him yet. As smart as he is, he&#39s not a well oiled machine who is the same dog with different people. He is going to be a dream dog for someone who likes to work their dogs, but he is going to be a handful for someone who doesn&#39t. Around 6-7 years of age, Gunner is your typical working dog with lots of energy who is smart as a whip, loves to run and play, and adores his people. He craves work, loves a job, and would probably enjoy agility. He&#39s adorable, loving, affectionate, playful, and needs a home with GSD/working dog experience or he will take the lead position and become overly protective. If you&#39re looking for a smart puppy who would love to be part of an active home, Gunner is your boy!The minimum adoption donation for adults is $375 and the adoption donation for puppies is $500.

For more information and the adoption application for Roxxie, please visit our website belowhttp://www.coastalgsr.org/dog_profile.php?ID=21886&name=RoxxieHave you been scouring the internet for a young, gorgeous GSD with more drive than an F-350? Do you need a dog whose ball drive is through the roof? Who will work for a ball, even if it&#39s really only â&#194&#133&#194&#147 of the felt that actually makes up a ball, because that&#39s all that&#39s left, but she works for it like it&#39s a Kong sized ball with a squeaker inside? Meet Roxxie!Roxxie was born May 15, 2017. She is a very high drive working dog who is as smart as they come, has an enormous ball drive, is obedience trained (knows French, German, and English commands), gives off Malinois energy, and is a gorgeous spitfire of a pup. She&#39s happy to chase down balls for hours, is potty trained, crate trained, great on a leash, a superb hiking or running partner, and is looking for someone who understands GSDs with this kind of drive. She didn&#39t appear to have been socialized with other dogs and was very reactive when she came to us, but has learned to be civilized around other dogs and does well in a play-group setting. She needs someone with a low traffic home and working dog/GSD experience who understands dogs who will become overprotective if not given a life of structure.Roxxie received a DNA test for Christmas and you can read her results here.The minimum adoption donation for adults is $375 and the adoption donation for puppies is $500.
