Story
Jax is I believe 7 years old in human years. He has a chip but, he is not registered under my name nor do I know the name he is registered under. I got him from a friend of a friend back in 2015 who rescued him from an abuse owner. He does not have nipples, walks a little crooked, one ear doesn’t move much, also very sensitive. He is not house trained, I have tried multiple attempts but just doesn’t get the concept. He needs a loving home with people who can care for him. Jax needs a new home because I am moving out of state and cannot take him with me.

Story
Max IS AVAILALBE (updated 04-05-2020).To meet any of our dogs you must first complete our online adoption application on our website. For more information and the adoption application for Max, please visit our website belowhttp://www.coastalgsr.org/dog_profile.php?ID=20231&name=MaxWe&#39ve have had Max for 4 years now. In those 4 years, he&#39s been obedience trained, socialized, enjoyed thousands of walks and thousands of cuddle sessions. He&#39s loved and cared for, but craves a family of his own.If you want a smart, trained, loyal handsome GSD, then Max is a must. He walks famously on a leash, is potty trained, good in the house, obedience trained and craves authoritative leadership. Max, while nearly perfect in every way, bonds really quickly with his handler and can get overprotective. He needs an experienced handler that will be the alpha, make him feel safe, and allow him to just relax and be a dog.The minimum adoption donation for adults is $300 and the adoption donation for puppies is $400 - $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. 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.

For more information and the adoption application for Zeus, please visit our website belowhttp://www.coastalgsr.org/dog_profile.php?ID=20074&name=ZeusZeus was rescued from a high-kill shelter when his time ran out. He&#39s very smart and would be the perfect dog for a home with German Shepherd experience. He is high energy and great with adults, but needs to brush up on his canine skills; he was never socialized and doesn&#39t understand how to approach nor react to other dogs. This handsome lad is well on his way to becoming a perfectly balanced boy. Zeus has completed obedience training and is learning more and more each day. He&#39s very treat motivated and ridiculously smart, which makes him a quick study. Zeus loves people and he wants nothing more than to become your best friend! He would do best with older children, as he&#39s rather mouthy when excited.The minimum adoption donation for adults is $300 and the adoption donation for puppies is $400 - $500.
