Coastal German Shepherd Rescue

Rufus has been adopted! 09-24-2016

Male German Shepherd Dog /Labrador Retriever mix about 6-9 years old. Good with kids.

Rufus was found wandering alone with a choke chain and a leash, yet his owners were never found. Sadly, he didn't have any identification or a microchip. He's been cared for his whole life and we couldn't let him die alone in the shelter: we pulled him on his last day hoping his owners would find him first, but they never came. Rufus is a little nervous around other dogs until he is properly introduced, which is not uncommon for dogs that were on the streets alone.

If you adopted Rufus, you could change his name. You could enjoy hours of playing catch. You could show off his obedience skills to all of your friends. You could chuckle as you and your new BFF walk down the street in perfect harmony while others are skiing behind their crazy dogs, just trying not to fall down. You could enjoy this smile for years and years and years to come. You could have the most loyal and fun companion in the history of ever. You could change a life... and it'd be yours, because you'd be happier than you ever imagined with a dog like Rufus.

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.
