Gracie is the kindest soul. She is just a sweet old lady that came in feeling a little under the weather. She was underweight and didn't eat well. But she's better now, even though eyes are a bit cloudy because of her age. She still has quite a bit of zip.

She likes to go on walks and loves to cuddle on her bed. She dreams a lot because you will see her chasing squirrels in her sleep. And since she needs to gain some weight, she sure won't need any best diet supplements, that fur sure, BOL!! She is great with cats and dogs. Please come take her home for her retirement!

Grace is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.

We found Grace currently being cared for by the Colorado Animal Rescue in Glenwood Springs, Colorado.

Misha is approximately two years old and weighs twenty pounds. She walks nicely on a leash and knows basic commands. This gorgeous girl would do well in a family with older children that would commit to strolls around the block and a lot of TLC.

We found Misha currently being cared for by Glendale Humane in Glendale, California.

Getting in front of potential volunteers, donors and adopters just got a little easier for Coastal Pet Rescue.

For six years, the driving force of Coastal Pet Rescue’s adoptions and volunteer management has been their website, CoastalPetRescue.org.

“We don’t have a brick and mortar shelter, so we have to have a good way for people to find our adoptable pets,” says Lisa Scarbrough, Coastal Pet Rescue president and founder. “Our website is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and is what yields 90% of our adoptions each year.”

After six years, Scarbrough, who also works full time as a web developer and webmaster for Paula Deen Enterprises, decided it was time for a change. Development began back in April, and the new site was fully released today.

“Our website may look the same, but we’ve updated the software and made it more social media friendly,” says Scarbrough.

The site is now running on Expression Engine software, which Coastal Pet Rescue adoption managers have found easier to use for adding and updating new pets and information.

User feedback over the last year led Scarbrough to create separate pages listing canines and felines for adoption.

“Potential adopters now have a choice directly on the homepage to link to a full list of cats or a full list of dogs,” says Scarbrough. “The listings page now shows more information about each pet much like a roster to help families narrow down their choices.”

CoastalPetRescue.org now also features two RSS feeds, one for their latest news and one for newly added pets. Both feeds also automatically send out tweets so anyone following the organization on Twitter will see the updates.

Volunteers now have a more dynamic message board to help them plan and execute the organization’s events, and the site’s Frequently Asked Questions has had a complete overhaul with categories and more answers to help visitors more immediately.

“It’s been six months of hard work, both from the development side of the site as well as reorganizing and adding content,” says Scarbrough. “But ultimately, it was a change we needed, and I think visitors will be impressed.”

Founded in February 2003, Coastal Pet Rescue is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) non-profit animal rescue organization based in Savannah, Georgia dedicated to saving the lives of homeless, abused and neglected dogs and cats in the Creative Coast Savannah and Lowcountry South Carolina areas.

Little Champagne was rescued from an over-crowded shelter where she was a favorite among the shelter staff. They described her as "an effervescent, sparkling, & bubbly girl, that captures anyone's heart", and this little girl is very special. She is 4 years old and weighs 12lbs.

She was rescued on the day she was to be euthanized because she developed pneumonia and the shelter could not properly treat her. As of 9/21, she was taken to the vet, treated with medication and hospitalized. She is looking for donations to help with her mounting vet bill. Please help us with this wonderful dog. She is now safe in a foster home and recovering nicely.

Champagne seems to be getting along with confident cats that are not skiddish around dogs. So if you have a home with cats, it really depends on your cat's personality whether it's going to run, or take charge.

We found Champagne currently being cared for by Dogs Without Borders in Los Angeles, California.
