PUPDATE!😀 . MAGGIE’s puppies are growing! At 10 weeks their personalities are really starting to show. They are wonderful puppies who have a wonderful story. They may have been unexpectedly born in a shelter but we promised them they will live the rest of their lives in a loving home.❤️ . 7 of MAGGIE’s 9 puppies (MILO, MARLEY, MIA, MEGAN, MISTY, MANDY, MOLLY) got to play in the “big yard” today. They had a blast exploring and playing with each other and our volunteers. . MAGGIE’s 2 other puppies (MILLIE and MINNIE) are doing great in their foster home as they await their forever homes. We will share an update on them soon! . Btw, ALL of the puppies are available for adoption! . For those of you who may not know, we were informed of a wonderful female who found herself in the shelter 8 weeks ago. The shelter didn’t know she was pregnant until one day she was suddenly nursing 9 beautiful puppies. . Momma MAGGIE is a 3 year old GSD mix. She’s a wonderful dog and wonderful mother to her pups. We went to rescue her and saw her 9 pups. We wanted to make sure they went to good homes so we decided to rescue both MAGGIE and her puppies. . . . If you think you may have the right home🏡 for one of these pups, let us know! Go to our new website and complete an Adoption Application. www.coastalk9gsr.org. .

IT’S A PUP-A-LOOZA! Puppies?? Yes! puppies! 😀 Meet Momma MAGGIE and her puppies MILLIE, MISTY, MINNIE, MEGAN and MOLLY. . We never know when we will have puppies at the rescue. Sometimes we rescue puppies from an owner relinquishing them, sometimes we rescue puppies from backyard breeders, and sometimes we rescue a female GSD who ends up being pregnant. . We were informed of a wonderful female who found herself in the shelter 8 weeks ago. The shelter didn’t know she was pregnant until one day she was suddenly nursing 9 beautiful puppies. . Momma MAGGIE is a 3 year old GSD mix. She’s a wonderful dog and wonderful mother to her pups. We went to rescue her and saw her 9 pups. We wanted to make sure they went to good homes so we decided to rescue both MAGGIE and her puppies. We brought home 5 of the females and the others will join our pack next week. . At 8 weeks they are big so they’ll likely be big dogs. We don’t know what kind of dog the father is….other than he must have been a handsome dog.😀 . .

Here’s a peek of a day at the Ranch for our dogs after they get back from their walk with our Dog Squad walking team. As you can see, we have a bunch of dogs that love water! This is great as it helps us keep them cooler in the summer. Rest assured, we keep a close eye on the heat. If it gets too hot, we put our dogs in their climate controlled Bunk House during the hottest parts of the day.

For many German Shepherd Dogs in the shelters, tonight will be their last sunset. If they can find enough comfort to sleep, it’ll be their last sleep, and when they wake up to a new sunrise, it too will be their last. . Those who are fortunate will find hope, that hope begins with a second chance, and that second chance begins with Coastal K9 German Shepherd Rescue. . We want to thank all of our supporters who help us continue our mission to save and rehome German Shepherd dogs who have been neglected, abandoned, purposefully forgotten and tossed aside. Your donations and support mean the world to us so that in turn we can give a new and hopeful world to the rescue dogs.

LIFE AT THE RANCH – Bath Time (Spa Day?!)🛁 . The health and well-being of our dogs is our highest priority while they are with us at the Ranch. Part of that picture is attending to the physical needs of our dogs. . As a continuation of our Life at the Ranch Series, we thought we’d show you another way we address the overall health and hygiene of our dogs by showing you a sneak peek into our grooming and bathing, or in other words, Spa Day! . When the rescue dogs first arrive to the Ranch their coats are incredibly dirty and sometimes matted. It is clear that it has been awhile, if ever at all, that they have been groomed or bathed. As a result, this affects how the dogs feel. . Our awesome Kennel Team does an amazing job at attending to the coats and skin of our dogs while they are groomed and bathed. They take great care in making sure the dogs are clean. Plus, they are experts at getting that famous undercoat under control. . As you can see, sometimes it looks like a blizzard of dog hair! But in the end, the dogs always feel better and they look great too! . We hope you enjoyed this sneak peak of Ranch Life. Stay tuned for more “behind the scenes” looks in future posts of our Life at the Ranch Series. . . .

LIFE AT THE RANCH - Treats! . As a continuation of our Life at the Ranch Series, we thought we’d show you a little behind the scenes of the love and care we give to each dog we rescue.😀 . Our Kennel Team does an amazing job caring for our dogs. On hot days they make a special popsicle treat that the dogs can enjoy after their morning walks with the Dog Squad. . The popsicles are made with chicken broth, pumpkin, chicken, and rice. Not only is it a tasty treat, it’s fun for the dogs to eat. . As you can see from the video, THE DOGS LOVE IT! 😀 . . Stay tuned for more behind the scenes looks in future posts of our Life at the Ranch Series. . . .

One of the main attractions of the Ranch is our pool area or Splash Zone! This is a great way to exercise the dogs, especially older dogs or dogs that need to shed a few pounds. It’s easy on their joints and most importantly, they love it! It’s safe to say that all the dogs have a blast in the Splash Zone.

HAPPY FOR A 2ND CHANCE. Our dogs aren’t quite home yet, but they are thankful for a HOME with us while they await their new forever home….especially our newest dogs! . Dogs in this video are HARMON, ZUKO, WHITNEY, LOKI and KORA. Could one of them be your next pack member?🤔 . . .

LIFE AT THE RANCH - THE DOG SQUAD! . Continuing our “Life at the Ranch” series, we wanted to highlight the DOG SQUAD.😀 The Dog Squad? What is that? You might ask.🤔The Dog Squad is what we call our amazing volunteers who volunteer their time to take our dogs on a walk….every day!…..rain🌧or shine☀️! . The dogs LOVE it! They are able to get out and about to stretch their legs and take in the sights and sniffs in different parks and trails near the ranch. . We’re so thankful for our volunteers who add to the enrichment of our dogs while they are with us at the ranch. THANK YOU DOG SQUAD!!
