Hi Melanie, Just wanted to let you know Ada (aka Balena) is doing great! I swear she is already double in size from when I got her :) I think we are both very happy to have each other. Thanks! Brooke

Toby

Kathleen: Hi there, Hope all is well with you and Joe (all your babies) I do check your sight to see if one of the others had found a wonderful home. I get sad that they donâ€™t have a forever family. Little bits about our Baby Boy. He is the joy of our life, yes he does have the run of the house. Never lets us out of his sight. He is such a love. So happy. He looks wonderful. With his food he gets pumpkin, fish oil and sprouted rice. Loves his food. Coat is beautiful now. Had a wonderful bath yesterday. Loves to be brushed. Loves to be out in the garden watching what is going on. He sure does watch out for that tree squirrel, I bet he is packing his bags. He is such an incredible dog. THANKS YOU SO MUCH FOR OUR BEAUTIFUL BABY BOY. His Birth date we put as Andyâ€™s for it is around the same time that we could figure out. Aug 5. Easy to remember also. He now has GRANDMA CAROL AND UNCLE DENNIS. WHAT A LUCKY GUY. THANK YOU SO SO SO SO VERY MUCH, ELAINE & ANDY

Branson

â€‹Hi Joe and Cathleen - First of all, sorry this email hasn't come sooner! Bronson is awesome, he is doing well, enjoying his new home. It took a little bit for him to become accustomed to the new life, but he's finally settled in. We have been going on runs, and 10 mile hikes. He is full of energy! I've been working on getting him trained, it's been an interesting experience - I think they are training me more than him! Here are a few pictures I've been meaning to send you guys. Thanks again for helping me out!!

Sophia

Kodiak

We love Kodiak! He is the perfect dog for us and Stormy. Not sure how happy he is right now as the cold cold weather traps him inside for the most part (we now live in Indiana). We keep him busy though! He does love the other seasons, and even the snow. Bitter cold...not so much!

Anna

Hello Diana, I wanted to show you how much Roxy has grown. Went yesterday for her last puppy shots. She weighs 37 lbs. now. She was quite shy at the vet's office. She is definitely not shy here. Her bark is changing to a deeper bark. She is a little cutie.

Leyna

This is Lobo and Lena they are both Coastal GSR OC dogs. They were not a bonded pair when we got them, what do you think about now?

Cyrano

Colin

Loving our boy Coop on his 2nd birthday. Thank you for our big boy!

Stella Luna

Hi Melanie and Vanessa ! Thank you both so much :-) Stella Luna ( now Luna ) is warming up to her new digs and yard :-))))

Nadya

Timone

Hi Miley, I just wanted to give you an update on how "Timone" is doing. We renamed her Abby and we couldn't have adopted a more perfect dog. She absolutely loves children and is a big love hog, she's like my third child. Thank you for all that you and the rescue center do. We're so blessed to have her as part of our family. Thank you, Caglia Family

Tanzy

Hi Miley, thought you might enjoy seeing Gracie and Gunther at the dog park and looks like they're being photo bombed by their friends. Thanks again for the work that you do and the joy that you brought into our lives. Drew Martin and Joe Faraci

Kooper

Here's Spikey (formerly Kooper) who had a severe case of Parvo with his sister Layla. We adopted him 1 1/2 years ago. WE ADORE HIM!!!

Loki

Good Morning Diana, Thought I would send along an update on Kobe. He is doing very well. He is learning the 'routine' here. Despite him being a 'puppy', he is really learning 'controls' especially when playing with my Senior boy Tucker. Kobe begins obedience training on March 5....he will excel as he is sooooo very smart. When the weather here allows, we go for two walks a day and Kobe really LOVES walks. He walks/heals well on leash. I am excited to take him to the next level with training. You did a fantastic job with him. I will hold off on neuter hopefully till he reaches 1 year old My 'big moose' weighs in at 64.7 lbs...he is such a TANK : ) Kobe sends his love and thanks for taking such great care of him

Nantucket

He is is doing great! His name is Colt now and we love him to pieces!!! He fits right in with our other dogs!

Kody

Hi Miley – got your nice Christmas note and wanted to let you know that Kody is doing GREAT. She’s still a little camera shy but we have a few pics that are worth sharing. J Kody, eagerly waiting for “himself” to come downstairs. She is COMPLETELY tuned into where Jon is at any given moment.

Gilda

Miley, Thank you for your Christmas cards over these past couple years. I had a card to send to you last year and wanted to put a picture with it so you could see an update on Roxy/Gilda. I never printed out a picture, thus never sent the card. How embarrassing is that. Anyway, I wanted to say thank you again for helping us get our sweet baby girl. We love our Rox. We have had her 3 years now and couldn't imagine life without her. Take care and happy new year! Carmen Pease

Joliet

Hi Diana, Joe, Rufus, Nikki and I wish you all the best in 2015. Nikki weighs about 65 lbs. She and Rufus are very attached to each other. Debbie

Peanut

Here are a couple pictures of Peanut if you would like to add them to the Happy Tails Christmas album!! We have officially had her for 9 months now! Merry Christmas to you all!

Elizabeth

Wanted to share with the CGSR family a few pictures of Tess and Auburn (Previously known as Elizabeth) with our daughter Addie. We adopted both from CGSR and cannot imagine life without them. We are feeling very blessed for all of you at CGSR. Happy Holidays!!

Tess

Giovanni

Here is a photo of our Odin. we adopted him in July 2013 from the "G" litter. We absolutely love him! He is such a sweet and intelligent dog!!! Thank you for completing our little family, I think he rescued us!!

Hans

Hans lives with his new dad in the mountains. He gets to enjoy an active lifestyle; hiking, trips to the lake, walking the fire trails and more!

Simores

Dear Dennis, Happy new year! Hoping this finds you, your wife, and three doggies all doing well. Just wanted to give you a little update on SimoresEminem. He is thriving! He is now 46 pounds! He is finished with all of his shots, so now he gets to go on walks. He enjoys play dates with our friends' dog, Basil, and once he has his rabies shot next month, will get to go camping with us. He is also mostly house trained, such a smart boy! He really wants to play with the cats, but they're not so interested. He is mellow, sweet, and very lovable. (Not to mention gorgeous!) Thank you again for all you did for him, giving him such a great start. We still remember Skittles in our prayers, and hope she fully recuperated. Take good care,

Runar

Good morning, Just thought I'd send a few pictures of one of your rescues! Best regards,

Cloud

Hi Miley Thank you so much for the holiday card! Cloud is doing great. We love him so much and he is the best dog!! He has such a sweet temperment. Attached is a picture of Cloud and our cat. I never thought I would see this day when we first brought him home and he chased her so much she hid in the garage for days. But eventually they worked it out and as you can see in the photo even rest together. Happy Holidays and thanks for remembering us! Best wishes, Shari

Captain Cupcake

Sophia

Sheba

Hi Miley, I just wanted to say thanks for the Christmas card and let you know Indy is doing great. She is the best dog! She got her Canine Good Citizen title this year and is almost ready for advanced obedience training. I couldn't be happier with her! Merry Christmas!!!

Layla

Thank you for the Christmas card. I've attached a current picture of Layla. These first nine to ten months were very difficult but we have worked through everything together and she is a blessing in our family. Layla and Deezel play awesome together and she loves him to pieces. Happy holidays!

KC

Miley I received your holiday card, very kind. Tucker and I relocated to Florida for work and he is living quite the life these days running along the beach. Merry Christmas!

Sheila

Vince

Paloma

Dear Coastal German Shepherd Rescue, I wanted to give an update on Persephone "Poppy" (Paloma). Adopting her was absolutely the best decision I have made thus far. She really is a blessing and am happy I came across your website. Attached are a few pictures of us exploring Los Angeles and loving life together. Best, Jovita PS: I'm happy Poppy was fostered by Vickie. Poppy is my first puppy as an adult, so I've had many questions. Luckily, Vickie has been wonderful enough to answer them. She truly goes above and beyond. It's also great to keep in touch since Poppy loves Vickie's puppies.

Brooklyn

Hi Dennis, I just wanted to send you recent photos of our two sweet & beautiful Taffyta (aka Brooklyn) and Lucy (aka Roxy). We are very happy and lucky to have them be part of our family. Thank you for all your help. Linh

Tucker

Ella

Hi sweetie!! Thank u for thinking of us and sending us wonderful wishes for this holiday season. Can you believe it's almost the END of the year!! Just a small update......CINDY is adjusting very well. Sometimes.....as a GS.....too smart! She loves to play ball....IN THE HOUSE. We can't t trick her to play outside......she'll pick up her ball, walk right past you and into the house!! And she LOVES my brother-in-law......he will tease her and she'll run around the house like a KID ON sugar! And if SHE can't be the center of attention......she'll put her nose right in her face and big you a BIG KISS!! heheheh But most of all......she has a BARK than can scare any stranger away. Which makes my mom happy! As you know, Tucker is with me. OF course, he is the man of the house and he knows it! They finally opened a dog park close enough we can walk to....but he rather chase squirrels!! BOY! can he spot them out in a heartbeat!! Thank you for the card. WISHING YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ALL THE BEST THIS HOLIDAY SEASON AND HAPPY NEW YEAR! Janie and Tucker......Cindy, too

Wiley

Hi Miley, Wylie is doing great! He's the most loving, devoted companion for my daughter. Never leaves her side. He's also best buddies with our newest family member, Osita. I'll send a picture of them too. This picture is Wylie as Dr Jonas Salk for Halloween :)

Penny

Merry Christmas, Miley! I hope you are doing great. Kaiya is a happy dog and has been an awesome addition to our family...and best buddy with Otto.

Lani

Dear Miley: I am happier than ever. My family is very happy with my progress. I am not shy anymore. I have trouble deciding with which member of the family to stay with. I go from my moms room to my sister's, I'm really enjoying life. Yesterday I barked, for the first time, to strangers. I wish you Very Happy Holidays too. Heidi (aka Lani)
