Fostering for them has been really rewarding. They match the dog with you and are there to support you while you foster. They also pay for all of the vetting that the dog needs and make it easy.
I had just lost my black long coated German Shepherd, Mystic and my heart was broken. I had started to look and found Coastal German Shepherd Rescue of S. CA. My friends had asked me if I was going to get another black German Shepherd ... Yes! I think that they are stunning. While on vacation in Hawaii, I came across Hadley. He had an incredible bio of him by Richard ... my response was "SH_T". My Mom said, you are going to go get him, Right? Right! I had some bad experiences with other rescues but "everyone" was just fabulous! His past homes crated him to much, thin, weak back legs, never out the front door ... my neighbors laughed but Captain was messing with the wrong woman. He was 3 years old and will be 12 in February. He overcame all his past fears and everyone thinks that he is just fabulous. Thank You to all the wonderful people at Coast German Shepherd Rescue of Southern CA. I called one Rescue and asked how much a dog weighed. The response, it is a German Shepherd. I wanted a smaller one but Captain is 93lbs. I found another dog that no one wanted but me- female, long coasted, 3 years old, etc. It would be indoor/outdoor and he said no. He held onto that dog for 1 year before getting the "right" home. When needed my neighbors come and put my dogs in or out. I had also paid people to stay in my house and more. Needless to say, I ended up with the BEST One and the volunteers with Coastal German Shepherd Rescue of S. CA are Fabulous ... Thank You!
Coastal gsr is an amazing group of truly dedicated individuals. They work tirelessly pulling and saving numerous dogs of all breeds who need help. Never turning their backs on any breed that is on its last days. I've watched many dogs be adopted into homes and live happily ever after lives. I'm extremely glad to be a part of this amazing rescue. I've had 4 Coastal dogs live out their lives in my home!
Coastal GSR is one of the few rescues who take more than their share of seniors and injured German Shepherds & Shepherd mixes. They have rescued many other breeds, as well. It's amazing to see the dogs they've saved go from down and out, needing extensize medical attention, to happy and healthy dogs ready for their forever homes.
