Story
Please contact Adoption (coastalgsrsd@gmail.com) for more information about this pet.  Simba is a smart, sweet and handsome long haired boy who loves people especially his own people.    For Simba a great and happy day is just trying to please and to hang with his people or family. Simba is housebroken, does not dig or chew and is crate trained.  He gets very excited when its time to go for a walk but can be dog selective and can become defensive if he feels threatened.  He does very little barking but is very aware of what is going on around him.  He would do well with a companion dog or without one.  He could also live with older children (teenaged).  If you are patient and a stay at home person, Simba would love to meet you.

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.

Story
Please contact Adoption (coastalgsrsd@gmail.com) for more information about this pet.  DJ's Dallas is proof that great things come in small packages.  Believe it or not, she is part German Shepherd.   DJ, their mom, came to us very pregnant and within a week of joining Coastal, she gave birth to Dallas and her littermates.  Dallas has been holding off for the perfect fit.  She  is the sweetest of sweet, the most energetic of energetic.   She cam jump very high and when she wants to capture the soft spot in your heart, she can do the low crawl straight into your arms.  What is she mixed with?  Cattle Dog is our first guess, but there may be some Jack Russell and Beagle in there too.  While she may be what many would refer to as a Heinz 57 and not a purebred German Shepherd, she is 100 percent pure love.   She needs a yard with a good fence to play in, as she can jump like she's on a pogo stick, especially when there's something she wants to get.  She needs a comfy bed inside with her family, someone who can throw the ball for her, go on walks with her, help her burn her energy, and someone who can relax and watch a movie with her too.  If she could be a lap dog, she would love to be just that.    She is not too picky on her canine companions, but she would like to live with one that can keep up with her energy.  They don't necessarily have to run circles as fast as she can.  She's happy to do her circles around them while they catch up.  They do need to like her kisses, though.  She loves to snuggle and nuzzle with her doggy foster brothers and sisters.   She has not been around children.  So, while older children will probably be okay, young children, toddlers and babies are not for her.     Please visit http://www.coastalgsrsd.org/to learn more about our dogs.
