For many of the German Shepherd Dogs in the shelters, tonight will be their last sunset, if they can find enough comfort to sleep, it will 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, and that hope begins with a second chance, and that second chance begins with Coastal K9 German Shepherd Rescue. . Today we are running into a new challenge in being able to save those German Shepherds who are desperately waiting for us. The Shelters aren't able to perform spaying and neutering as they have in the past. . The veterinarians who partnered with us in the past to give us wonderful discounts for our spays and neuters had been bought out by large corporate giants. Our partners before were never partnering for the money. . They were there for us because they loved the dogs as much as we did, and it was their way of helping. They knew that they played a huge role in Coastal and other rescues by being able to help dogs that would otherwise have no chance. They treated our dogs just like their regular customers' dogs. Never did we hear, "They're just a rescue." Or "Why do you care so much?" . Those partners are gone now. Today average cost for a spay/neuter for us is more than $480, more than double what the cost was before. We are hoping that one day we will find new partners who can find it in their hearts to help, but until that day, we are asking for your help to start this fund and keep it going so we never have to say no to a dog or puppy because we don't have the funds to pay for their spay and neuter. . We have set up a "SPAY/NEUTER FUND" so we can continue to rescue and save these dogs. Your donation of any amount will help immensely. .

AND THEN THERE WAS MINNIE AND MILLIE!😀 Who are Minnie and Millie?? They are 2 of MAGGIE’s puppies who have been enjoying their days in foster care. MINNIE is the black and white dog, while MINNIE is brown and white. Both pups are 100% cute! . Both girls are learning so much from their big dog foster siblings, and we are learning about them too. They are keeping their foster parents busy and are growing like a weed. . After fostering them for two weeks, their foster mom shared the following with us. . “Minnie is shy at first but if you talk to her and sit still she will approach on own. She loves water. She hops in and out of the baby pool on her own randomly throughout the day. Lots of energy, loves toys and is very social with other dogs. You have to watch her because she loves to get into plants. Loves to be outside. She is vocal especially during feeding time. . Millie is smaller in stature, smaller feet. She likes to cuddle. She loves to sleep on or by your feet. She prefers to be indoors but can be coaxed outside to potty or to play with the other dogs. Very social with other dogs. Loves toys, can get mouthy. Very playful. . Neither is leash trained. Both are using indoor pee pads and/or going outdoors to do their business. Accidents are fewer.” . That’s an amazing report after two weeks. We’ve noticed that all of MAGGIE’s puppies have excellent dispositions and wonderful personalities. . . At 11 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.😀 . . If you think you may have the right home🏡 for one of these pups, let us know!

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. . . .

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. . . .
