Breanna IS AVAILALBE (updated 05-07-2025).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 Breanna, please visit our website belowhttp://www.coastalgsr.org/dog_profile.php?ID=22826&name=BreannaBreanna&#39s foster recently said that her name should be &#39Bubbles&#39, because she is bubbly and happy all of the time. She is one of the most happy-go-lucky puppies they ever fostered. Breanna is always bouncing around and she absolutely loves other dogs. She doesn&#39t mind cuddling up with her people too. Breanna is super playful, loves her training, and is both praise and treat motivated. She can use a doggy door and she is potty trained. Breanna sleeps in a crate all night long. As long as Breanna has her lamb, she will sleep through the night. She loves her lamb.Breanna is in a foster home with cats. She is being &#39cat trained&#39 by the cats. She has been whacked by them and has become more respectful of them, but she still thinks it is fun to see them run and for her to chase them.Breanna loves to be outside. She actually prefers it. She likes to chill on the deck around the pool but she has not shown any indication that she would like to go in it or go swimming.Background on Breanna: she is one of five puppies that came to Orange County to join the Coastal GSR family. Breanna and her siblings were found in an Orange Grove by a Good Samaritan who brought them to his house. She appears to be a mix of Australian Shepherd and possibly German Shepherd. Breanna would do well in a home where people are around most of the time and will include her in their lives. We recommend that Breanna go to a home that has another playful dog(s) since she enjoys the company of other dogs so much.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. The adoption donation provides that all dogs will be spayed or neutered, receive current vaccinations, and are microchipped. If not, arrangements will be made on an individual basis ( i.e., puppies who will need to be altered by 6 mos old). Special consideration may be given to those willing to adopt older dogs or dogs with physical problems.May 7, 2025, 4:52 pm

Of course! Here’s a message you could use: ⸻ We got our sweet boy as a puppy, and from the start, he’s been full of energy, love, and loyalty.

Story
Hayde is looking for a very special household that will continue with her training and also give her tons of patience. She is a feral dog and has been in feral training the last few months she has done a lot better and is getting more social - but she will never be a social butterfly. Hayde is a dog that is mostly going to stay indoors, going for long hikes and to busy places is not for this girl. Once she is comfortable with her environment and you she really is such a happy happy girl! The outside world and lots of people just freak her out, and likely always will. If you are interested in adopting Hayde kindly fill out the application here www.ozzieandfriendsrescue.org/adoptionsMay 18, 2025, 11:05 am

Mowgli's Bio Meet Mowgli, a charming male Australian Shepherd Cattle Dog mix born on May 3rd, 2023. Weighing in at a lean 25 pounds, Mowgli is a delightful blend of friendliness and intelligence. His cheerful personality and loving nature make him an ideal companion, ready to bring joy and warmth to any family he joins.

Story
I’m looking to rehome my sweet boy Tanner or a foster as well. He is the sweetest and he’s almost 2 so he still has his puppy energy. He lovesss any type of walks from going to the beach to hiking. He knows his basic commands like sit, lay down, shake and we are working on stay and drop it. Tanner does need a bit more obedience training but he’s a little smarty pants so will be easy to train if you make it fun and exciting! He also would be best in a single dog home but he loves his humans! He will chase a cat if they start running but he leaves them alone otherwise. I am moving into an apartment from a house and it just won’t be big enough for him. He comes with a crate, toys, leash and harness I will gladly answer any questions:)
