When we rescued Asher off the euthanasia list this past week, our hearts sank at how thin and malnourished he was. His ribs showed from a distance, and you could easily wrap a hand around his narrow waist. It was heartbreaking to see such a special dog in that condition.

But Asher’s story didn’t end there. From the moment he arrived, this amazing boy has shown us how grateful he is for a second chance. We’ve promised him that he will never be abandoned again and that his forever family is out there waiting for him.

Asher is now safe at the Ranch. He’s receiving the nutrition his body needs and the love his soul deserves. With each day, he’s growing stronger and already showing his goofy, playful side. He passed his dog-to-dog test at the shelter, and once he’s ready, he’ll be joining the rest of our Coastal K9 pack.

Asher’s resilience and gentle spirit remind us why we do what we do. He’s on his way to becoming the healthy, happy dog he was meant to be.

If you are interested in meeting this dog, please fill out our online application first. Contact us via email at info@coastalK9gsr.org. The minimum adoption donation ranges from $350 to $500. This amount only partially covers the cost of veterinary care, boarding fees, and other miscellaneous expenses involved in the temporary care and adoption of our dogs and is tax deductible. Prior to placement, all dogs will be spayed or neutered, receive current vaccinations, and are usually microchipped. If not, arrangements will be made on an individual basis. Special consideration may be given to those willing to adopt older dogs or dogs with physical problems.
