Story
Meet Max, a spirited 25lb Sheltie with a zest for life and a heart full of love! 🐾 This little dynamo is looking for an equally energetic and dedicated forever family who can keep up with his adventurous spirit. 🌟 Max thrives in an environment where he can be with his people all day long, especially if there’s another social dog—or even a few!—to share in the fun. 🐶 A fully fenced yard is a must for this lively guy, as he loves to zoom around and explore. Max is not your average couch potato; he craves activity and mental stimulation, so he needs a family that enjoys daily walks, runs, or other fun dog-friendly activities. 🏃‍♂️ Max will be happiest in a home with at least one stay-at-home dog mom or dad who is ready to make him the center of attention. He’s a true companion dog who wants to be involved in everything you do—whether it’s a morning jog, an afternoon of fetch, or just hanging out in the yard. 🌳 If he doesn’t get his daily walk or playtime, he might get a bit anxious and bark to let you know he needs more action. 🐕 Max comes from a loving home of older folks who, while well-meaning, weren’t quite prepared for the energy of a young, active Sheltie. Now, Max is ready to find a home that matches his zest for life—one that understands his need for exercise, adventure, and plenty of love. 💖 He’s a healthy, well-behaved boy who just needs the right environment to truly shine. If you’re an active family with older kids (21+), a fully fenced yard, and the time and dedication to make Max your daily companion, he could be the perfect addition to your home. He’s waiting for a family who will treat him like the baby of the house and include him in all their adventures. 🐾 Think you can keep up with Max? Visit [Coastal Sheltie Rescue](www.coastalsheltierescue.org) to read our guidelines and apply to be Max’s forever family. Let’s find Max the loving, active home he deserves! 🏡

**Meet Harley!**   **Breed:** Sheltie/German Shepherd Mix   **Age:** 4 years   **Gender:** Female   **About Me:**   I’m Harley, the sweetest, most lovable Sheltie/German Shepherd mix looking for a safe and loving home! I’m a calm and quiet girl who will steal your heart with my big brown eyes and soft fur coat. My past suggests that I had to share everything—from toys to food—so new dog friends can sometimes overwhelm me, making me a little protective over my space, kennel, and food when around other dogs. However, every day, my personality grows and blossoms! I’ve gone from stealing empty dog bowls and taking them to my kennel to becoming the most adorable hoppy girl, eagerly preparing for mealtime, knowing I have a meal just for myself. After undergoing surgery to remove some growths, I have made an amazing recovery! I can’t wait to start my new life with you, cuddled up on the couch while watching your favorite shows. I’m very gentle with children and love to nap and hang out in my kennel, but I’m also incredibly affectionate. My favorite thing in the world is getting belly rubs, and I’ll let you know how happy I am with my little love grunts! **Ideal Home:**   I’m looking for a family to call my own and to learn what it truly means to have a forever home. **Adoption Information:**   If you’re interested in adopting me, please fill out an application on our website. Remember, all potential adopters must have an approved application to meet me!   Adoption Fee $450 ➡️ **Excited to meet Harley?** Fill out an adoption application here: [Adoption Application](https://coastalsheltierescue.org/dogs-%2F-applications)

Meet Harley girl!! 💕 This little Sheltie/German Shepherd mix is around 35 lbs of pure sweetness and is on the lookout for a loving home! Harley is a calm and quiet 4-year-old with the most adorable brown eyes and the softest fur. She had to share everything in her past, so new doggy friends can sometimes make her a little protective over her space and food. But don’t worry, she’s never like that with people—just feed her separately from other pups, and she’s happy as can be! Every day, Harley’s personality shines more and more. She used to sneak off with empty dog bowls (😂), but now she’s the cutest little hop-along when it’s mealtime because she knows the food’s all hers! ❤️ Harley’s been resting up after a surgery and has bounced back like a champ. She’s so ready to start her new life with YOU—cuddled up on the couch, watching your favorite shows. 📺 She’s amazing with kids, loves her kennel for naps, and she’ll make you melt with her sweet little grunts when you rub her belly. 😍 This sweet girl is ready to learn what it really means to have a forever home! Could that be with you? 💕 Foster in Virginia Beach Please see website for an application ❤️
