Foster Home for Sweet Senior Needed ASAP!
Sweet Brandy's plight has been brought to our attention. We want to help her get out of the shelter and live out a cherished life. Our foster homes are bursting at the seams and we won't put a senior dog into a kennel situation. We know that there is a special person waiting for this special dog. Brandy is in good health, affectionate and kind - as in most mature dogs, arthritis is apparent but it isn't severe. A good diet, moderate exercise and a big fluffy bed is all that this old girl asks for.
Please if you can offer a foster home for this sweet girl, contact Beth via eamil beth.coastal@gmail.com or Update 5/09/08:
 Often, the decision to save a dog's life is determined by our ability to pay their medical bills! We have not been able to assist as many medical cases as our hearts have wanted to over the past couple of months due to a depleted medical fund. Your donation will help save him.
Wyatt was rescued from a very high kill animal shelter on his very last day. When we rescued him we knew that his vision was impaired, and vowed to get him the treatment that he needed. Apparently no one cared enough about Wyatt previously to get him seen by a vet. After being in our care for a couple of days and receiving treatment for his eyes, Wyatt took a turn for the worse and became very lethargic, didn't want to eat and just all around felt lousy. Our vets have confirmed what we feared, Wyatt has pneumonia. His right lung is practically filled and his breathing capacity is limited. Wyatt is receiving the very best care---however that care is very costly. He is currently in an oxygen tent, being nebulized and on a very tough antibiotic. He is fighting for his life and we are trying vigilantly to raise the funds needed to continue his care. We commit to the medical needs of every dog that comes through our rescue's doors. We never turn our back on a dog with medical needs. However, we need your help to refill our accounts and to be able to tell our vet's that we can continue with Wyatt's costly care. Three days of intensive care could easily cost us $3K, so as you can see it is vital that we reach out to you to help Wyatt. Update 5/09/08:
Wyatt has had a tough time - he has a pretty advanced case of Pannus but the eye doctors are very hopeful that with dedicated treatment, he will regain most of his eyesight. This sweet guy deserved a second chance although we had to dig deep to cover his medical care - we are still in need of donations to help defray the costs of his hospital stay. No amount is too small. We appreciate all the support that Wyatt has received and are thankful to his donors for allowing us to be in a position to save his life!
 Dino  Thanks to your generous contributions, both Danaka & Dino have received life saving treatments and are on the road to recovery. We will continue to update their progress on their bio pages if you would like to check in and find out how they are doing. Both dogs are still looking for their forever homes to make good use of the 2nd chance that their supporters have given them!
 Benson hasn't had the best life so far, but is hoping his luck is about to change. He is approximately 3 years old, with a lush and beautiful dark coat, deep brown eyes, and pearly white teeth.
Fate dealt him a bad hand, first he was born with bad hips, second he had owners who carelessly dumped him at the shelter. Coastal came to his rescue, they provided surgery for his hips so he feels better. Though he walks with a bit of a swagger, when he runs he is poetry in motion. The veterinarian that examined him post surgically and after hydro-therapy assured us that he is not uncomfortable. Benson has been a model patient and houseguest in his foster home.
In the mean time Benson patiently waits for his forever family. Benson is a sweet and sensitive boy. He's housebroken and very easy to live with. He would love a quiet home with a back yard that he could hang out in. He gets along with other dogs and would love a playmate. Benson walks nicely on a leash, and has some basics down very well. At dinner time, he will go into a sit/stay position and look directly at you with those gorgeous eyes waiting for you to say "OK." He is a very comical boy and will bring smiles to you a thousand times over!
Benson is hoping for a family to look past his imperfections and see the heart of gold that beats inside. Benson will enrich your life with years of love and adoration. Here is a slideshow one of our volunteers put together for Benson.
So if you are looking for a special dog to become a member of your family, Benson is your Boy!

Read letters from Coastal adopters here. I wanted to send you some recent pictures of Sonny (aka Zeus) and our family to post on your website. He is truly the best catch we could EVER ask for.
It is so strange but I can feel his appreciation and thankfulness as we have bonded beyond belief. I have been talking about your rescue group with friends and family in the hopes that some day another GSD will find a well deserved home.
I would love to see you guys some time on one of the events – are you planning any in Temecula in April or so?
With appreciation for all you guys do for this wonderful breed,
I know it's been awhile, but I wanted to send an update on Lucy (Cinder).
Seeing her blossom and watching her enjoy life instead of being fearful has been very rewarding. I can only imagine the gratification you must feel when all the hard work and time you invest in these dogs results in the heart warming testimonies I've read from the web site. I can't thank you enough for bringing Lucy into my life.

Jag and I are doing well. We are in the process of moving! I have a new job and I am looking for places to live where Jag will be able to play and be merry.
In the meantime, he is living with grandma and grandpa (my parents). They spoil him and he's loving having the run of the house (they have 4 cats as well), while I am away looking for a new home for us.
I've attached a couple pictures of him. In the first one, he's enjoying a giant sheepskin floor mat that my parents got him for Christmas...and in the other, he's rooting for his favorite football team. Go chargers of course.
Anyway I do look at your site from time to time to see if you come across any other dogs like Jag. For about the past year, I was thinking of getting him a sister to play with. But with my new job, I've had to put a hold on getting any new playmates for Jag.
I hope you're having a great new year. Please keep me in your database. If I ever find myself in need of another family member, I will be sure to contact you.
Happy New Year!

I have to tell you, the last two years have been so wonderful with Jag around. He's such a great dog and everyday, I look at him and I ask myself "Why in the world would a dog like this be in a rescue?". Anyway, he's been awesome. I can't imagine my life without him.
