Coastal's Owner Relinquishment Questionnaire

Owner Relinquishment
Questionnaire

Please answer the questions honestly and be as detailed as possible. This will help is in determining if we will be able to accept your dog in to our rescue.

Please note that shelter dogs in need will take precedence over any owner surrendered dog.* Due to the lack of foster home, in most cases, you will be required to "foster" your dog until a home can be found.

* IF YOU HAVE ADOPTED YOUR DOG THROUGH COASTAL GERMAN SHEPHERD RESCUE AND NEED TO RETURN HIM/HER TO US, PLEASE CONTACT THE ADOPTION COUNSELOR DESIGNATED ON YOUR CONTRACT or email oti@coastalgsr.org. Please provide the dog's name, tag number, and reason for reliquishmentment in your email. Current Photos, short bio, and your current contact information are appreciated as well.

This information MUST be submitted along with a photograph before we will consider accepting your dog in to our program. Upon completing the below information, IMMEDIATELY email a picture of your dog to oti@coastalgsr.org. No further action is required. As a 100% volunteer organization, we will contact you as soon as possible, usually within 48 hours.
