Grace has been adopted! 04-23-2005
Grace was rescued from a very rural animal shelter after she and her family of pups were abandoned in a vacant home. Animal Control was notified by neighbors that the occupants of the home had left a family of 9 shepherds in the yard, with no one to care for them. Coastal Shepherd Rescue came to the aid of this large family and they are all safe now. Grace has been separated from her puppies as the shelter felt she was too thin to continue nursing. Grace is doing well and is ready to find her forever home. She is under 2 years old and gets along nicely with other friendly dogs. She has a gorgeous black and tan coat and will flourish with love and good nutrition. We are just getting to know Grace and will post more info as we get to know her better.
Update 4/17/05!
We all met Grace for the first time today and she's a real sweetheart! Grace likes to crawl into your lap, and if she can't get in your lap she'll snuggle up against your leg. Her coloring is a gorgeous white/silver and black, with a little gold on her face. Grace went to her foster home today and she's great with other dogs and quiet and polite around the house. How anyone could abandon a girl like Grace is impossible to understand!
The minimum adoption donation for adults is $375 and the adoption donation for puppies is $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 when permitted by law. The adoption donation provides that all dogs will be spayed or neutered, receive current vaccinations, and are microchipped. If not, arrangements will be made on an individual basis ( i.e., puppies who will need to be altered by 6 mos old). Special consideration may be given to those willing to adopt older dogs or dogs with physical problems.
