Ivan is just 10 months old, and we believe he may be one of Selena’s previous pups. His life before rescue wasn’t easy—he and his pack lived outdoors in a compound, surviving on food scraps, never knowing what it meant to be part of a loving home.

When Ivan and his family recently arrived at Coastal K9, they were infested with fleas and had never worn a collar, been leashed, or even experienced physical affection. But despite all of that, Ivan and his packmates have shown incredible resilience.

Of the group, Ivan is the most shy, still learning to trust and adjust to his new surroundings. But what’s truly special is that even with his past, he is gentle, well-behaved, and good with people. Every day, he is making strides, acclimating to this new life with patience and courage.

Now, Ivan is looking for the right forever home where he can continue to learn what love, safety, and companionship truly mean. He may need a little extra time and understanding, but the reward of watching him blossom will be immeasurable.

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.

Special consideration may be given to those willing to adopt older dogs or dogs with physical problems.
