Coastal Pet Rescue takes multiple dogs from hoarding case September 29, 2026
09/29/2026
Early this morning, our team headed out to a home with 45 dogs needing to be removed after numerous issues with county enforcement. Most were not social, multiple attempted to bite out of fear, and sadly, one was already passing away when we arrived (we discovered from a relative that the pack had been regularly fighting for resources and multiple dogs have died as a result). They ranged in age from 12 weeks to 12 years, so many mixes of breeds, and probably similar branches of the family tree. This is a problem that was addressed more than once with this resident. Unfortunately, it took law enforcement and citations to yield a willingness to let go.
Tonight, 11 of these dogs have received medical care and baths for the first time and are safe in the care of our foster homes, vet, and shelter where they will no longer have to compete for survival. We still have five looking for foster homes, and once those are placed, we intend to return for more. These are NOT dogs that you can bring home and immediately introduce to your animals and small children. They can be handled without biting, just very scared (flight risks!) and will need a lot of time, work, love and PATIENCE. Foster application: https://bit.ly/cprdogfoster
If you aren't able to foster, please consider a $5 donation towards the costs of care. If you don't want to donate via Fb, you can use all the other digital payments plus credit cards on our website: https://coastalpetrescue.org/donate/
Thanks to Two Black Dogs Foundation, Fixin the Boro, Love of Littles Dog Rescue, and Bulloch County Animal Services for combining efforts today to remove the first round of dogs.
**Please do not send messages asking about adoptions. Dogs will be listed on our website at https://coastalpetrescue.org/adopt/adopt-a-dog-or-puppy/ when they are available to go to new homes. Thank you. **

Penelope loves pets! 💜
Penelope is a 2-year-old scruffy sweetheart with a HUGE heart and an even bigger personality! At 57 lbs, she’s the perfect combination of playful, goofy, affectionate, and absolutely convinced that wherever you are… that’s where she needs to be.
Penelope is potty trained, walks pretty well on a leash, and LOVES to play! Toys? Yes. Other dogs? YES! Her favorite people of all shapes and sizes? Of course!
She’s still working on remembering that when her people come home, four paws on the floor is the goal. She gets SO excited to see you that sometimes the excitement takes over! She’s also learning that cats are interesting little creatures who may not always appreciate her enthusiasm.
And then there’s Penelope’s favorite feature: she’s a certified Velcro dog. She will happily follow you from room to room, curl up beside you (or on you), and snuggle all night long if you let her. She doesn’t just want a home — she wants a person of her own.
Penelope does have one important request: she’d prefer her human to accompany her outside for potty breaks. Being left outside alone is simply unacceptable in her opinion, and she may even attempt a little fence-climbing adventure if she feels abandoned. She’s happiest when she’s with her people, where she feels safe and loved.
If you’re looking for a playful, cuddly, loyal best friend who will follow you everywhere and make sure you’re never lonely again, Penelope might just be your girl!
If you think this scruffy girl could be your perfect match, fill out an adoption application today to schedule a meet & greet!

Hello all hoomans. It is I, the adorable cuddler of all times, Belgium. I love playing tug of war, especially when I think I’m winning, but in reality I’m not. Sitting on the couch? Blankie not necessary, I will be your blankie since I dont believe in personal space. I will watch you while in the shower, in case I need to save you. Getting up for any reason? I am your shadow. My love is ferocious. Did you just sneeze? I will give you kisses so you feel better.
Ice cubes? Yes please! Car rides? Yes, but I get nervous getting into your big truck but once I’m in, I adore it. Ears are flopping in the wind!
I do need a fenced in yard since in one small leap over a 4ft fence I fly! But I come right back, just needed to do a quick sweep of the perimeter.
I get along with all 4 of my foster siblings, big (and I mean BIG) and small. Foster mom’s goats refuse to play with me (rude) but I have become fast friends with Jake the Jerk Donkey, he gets me.
I’m hoping my furever family is out there. All applications are being accepted as long as they love snuggles, sharing the bed and long walks with lots of sniffs and treats.
P.S. I am house trained! Adopt from Coastal Pet Rescue! https://coastalpetrescue.org/adopt/adopt-a-dog-or-puppy/

Stillwell is a very happy go lucky short stack guy!
He came to us through Effingham County Animal Shelter after almost five months in residence. While he plays well with other dogs, he sees cats as toys to be chased. He’s a good bit on the rotund side, so he needs daily exercise to bring him back down to a proper scale. He loves to sit with you and will stay longer for a good head scratch.

The dog days of SUMMER are here! Summer girl had a rough start (she was seized by animal control after having been left in a crate in 115 degree heat index), but she has blossomed into a well-rounded, people-loving companion! Summer is not a big toy-loving dog. She reserves that energy for her people and anyone else who comes to say hello. Gets along fine with most dogs she meets, but can be dog selective. Other than some fence running at her foster home, she is mostly a low-energy couch potato who likes a daily meandering walk. She loves to be outdoors, and a home that has a doggy door where she can go in and out would be perfect for her. She is crate trained and settles well on car rides,. Summer will make a family with older children or a couple very happy!
