Story

Hi, I’m Biscuit. I am an energetic and enthusiastic dog with a joyful outlook on life. I am still learning how to direct my excitement in constructive ways, and I would do best with an owner who can provide consistent training and regular physical activity. I am curious about other dogs, but I was not well socialized while growing up, so patience and brief, positive introductions will be important for me. With the right guidance and structure, I have the potential to become a devoted and affectionate companion. Adopting me would give me the opportunity to grow, succeed, and share my happy spirit.

Story

Hi, I’m Strudel. I’m a friendly shepherd with stunning looks who loves making new friends and being around people. I can struggle when I’m away from my favorite humans, so I would benefit from having someone at home most of the time or training to help manage this. I would do best in an experienced home with everyone over the age of 16, where I can have structure, attention, and the companionship I crave.

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 girl 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 be confident and how to make doggy friends, so I’d do best in a home with adults or older teens who can help me practice and cheer me on. 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 blossom with your guidance, I’d love to be your girl.

Story

Meet Katara, a very sweet and affectionate young dog. When Katara arrived at the shelter nearly a year ago, she was badly injured and shut down. With time, care, and patience, Katara has fully healed and learned to trust people. Katara is still reserved with strangers, but once she feels safe, she blossoms into a loving and loyal companion. The busy shelter environment makes this gentle girl nervous, so she is currently in foster care – thriving in a calm, quiet home.Here’s what Katara’s foster family say about her:“Of all the dogs we have had over the years, Katara has been the easiest to care for. She is affectionate, and loves kisses, belly rubs, and ear scratches. Katara is calm around the house, curious about newcomers and stays alone at home without barking. She is very comfortable coming with us on outings to the beach, the dog park, restaurants, and even trivia night! Katara has blossomed into a sweet-tempered, loyal member of our household.”Katara is ready to find her forever home—one that appreciates her gentle nature and gives her permanent stability and a loving family to call her own.Watch these videos of Katara getting cuddles in her foster home and at the shelter.

Story

Decca IS AVAILABLE (updated 01-01-2026). To meet any of our dogs, complete our online adoption application on our website: http://www.coastalgsr.org/dogs/decca Hi, I'm Decca! I am a merry mix of some wonderful breeds. I am 44% German Shepherd Dog, 21% Labrador Retriever, 8% Golden Retriever and 7% Siberian Husky. I was born on 7/11/2025 to a beautiful mom who is primarily GSD and an alleged dad who was primarily Black Labrador. Somehow I ended up with some Husky characteristics; more than my siblings did. I was the most distinctive puppy in the litter. My 'baby' photo is included at the end of my photos. I was so darn cute! I was previously adopted by a family with 3 young children and a senior dog whose energy level was not compatible with mine. I returned back to my original foster home where I live with two older dogs and my mother (Libby). I am young, energetic and would do best in a home with a confident, well balanced dog who has a similar energy level. Or, I would be fine being the only dog in the home. Your choice. With the help of everyone in my past, I went through some special training that helped me learn many things including obedience. I am house, leash, and dog door trained. I am young - just over 1 year old - and I'm just a teenager. Like a teenager I can be stubborn and headstrong. I like to test my environment and can be both frightened and confident depending on the situation. All my vaccines are up to date and I am microchipped, and spayed. I love people and get along with my foster family dogs but need proper introductions and boundaries to feel comfortable in new environments. I have incredible potential to be your new best friend. When can we meet? 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.January 1, 2026, 6:02 am

Bandit has inoperable liver shunts that can not be cured. He is on a regimen of supplements and prescription diet and is doing amazing!

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.
