Coastal German Shepherd Rescue

Kelsey has been adopted! 08-07-2016

Female German Shepherd Dog about 3-5 years old. Good with kids. Gets along with other dogs.

Kelsey, who likely just turned three, came to us with an injured leg that looked as though it had an encounter with a car. This young girl spent about 2 months at the hospital, in the hopes that her leg could be saved. Unfortunately, after two surgeries, it was apparent that the leg was not going to make it and it was in her best interest to have it amputated. While preparing for surgery, it seemed as though Kelsey might be pregnant, even though she wasn't obviously showing. Sure enough, the ultrasound confirmed her five puppies, so they stopped prepping for surgery and she soon delivered a healthy litter of cuties!

Kelsey has been doing great and gets around just fine on three legs. She loves her walks and enjoys being a loyal companion. She knows her basic commands and walks well on a leash. All who have known Kelsey have fallen in love with this gorgeous girl. She was an excellent mom and is ready for her happy ending now too!

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.
