Thank you for visiting our Strut Your Mutt Team page. We’re raising money to help end the killing of pets in America’s shelters. And we plan on having a lot of fun doing it!
Meet Estrella, pictured in the photo above. In June, Coastal was alerted to an urgent case, Estrella, a tiny puppy (only 13 pounds), had sustained severe injuries to her hip and hind legs after being hit by a car. The shelter gave us two days to save her or they would euthanize. We had to help! Despite being in tremendous pain, Estrella smothered us with kisses and tail wags as her rescuers picked her up from the shelter to bring her to our veterinary team. X-rays revealed that the bottom of her femur and the top of her tibia on her right leg were broken. Additionally, the force of the impact not only dislocated her left leg, but caused the femur head to be pulled out of the socket, fracture, and push upward.
After two successful surgeries - one to repair Estrella's femur fracture and pin her tibial fracture and another to perform an FHO procedure on her left hip to remove the broken ball - Estrella is doing very well and recovering in a great foster home.
For 15 years, Coastal German Shepherd Rescue, a non-profit 501(c)3 public charity based in Orange County, has been dedicated to caring for and finding loving homes for abandoned dogs, like Estrella, in Southern California. We are an all volunteer run organization, with no paid employees, and our rescue exists solely because of your tax deductible donations, which support our efforts to save these very deserving animals. We save the unwanted seniors, the discarded dogs who need medical care, and so many more. In 2018 alone, Coastal was able to rescue and place over 50 puppies in loving homes, find forever homes for over 250 mature and homeless adult dogs, and care for approximately 100 additional dogs waiting patiently for their forever homes. Please donate today and help us save more lives!
Every day, nearly 2,200 dogs and cats are killed in America's shelters simply because they don't have safe places to call home. That number should be zero. That’s why our team is participating in Best Friends Animal Society’s Strut Your Mutt event to raise money for animals. But we need your help, too.
Please join us either by registering for our team or donating to one of our team members. Your donation is tax deductible and Coastal German Shepherd Rescue keeps 100 percent of the money raised after transaction fees. And the best part? That money will help save the lives of homeless pets.
Thank you for your support!

By joining our Foster Family program, you can offer the safety and healing environment of your home to a dog either waiting in a shelter for euthanasia or for rescue. The more volunteer foster families we have, the more dogs we can save from death in noisy, cold and uncaring shelters.
As a Southern California-based rescue, we make every effort to find LOCAL foster homes for the dogs we rescue. Unfortunately, though we appreciate the offers, we cannot send dogs out of state to foster.
Please fill out our online foster application if you would like to join our team of Foster Families and save a life by giving a dog in need a place to go!
Often, the decision to save a dog's life is determined by our ability to pay their medical bills! We have not been able to assist as many medical cases as our hearts have wanted to over the past couple of months due to a depleted medical fund. All too often, shelters in Southern California label a dog to be rescue only due to illness. This means the dog is not available for adoption by the public and their only hope for getting out of the shelter is a rescue.
Even more often, the dogs are released with a waiver of spay or neuter. This means that our rescue is taking on a dog that may likely be ill, is not altered and may not have its vaccines, all of which we are committed to taking care of. As an all-volunteer group that depends solely on donations, we now work even harder to raise the dollars to help these homeless pets!
While we have several high cost surgeries recently, just $25 can fully vaccinate one dog! $10 will cover one night of boarding. Your donation, combined with others, can help us put together the funds. Here's how your dollars can help:
- $100 - will fully vaccinate four dogs
- $300 - will pay a month's boarding for one dog
- $500 - will spay or neuter four dogs
