Leashed dogs are welcome early in the morning and late in the afternoon at some nice beaches in Orange County. Corona Del Mar State Beach, Newport Beach, and Balboa Beach allow leashed dogs before 9 AM and after 5PM. Dog bag dispensers are located near the signs that list the beach rules. Tickets are issued to off leash dogs.
Corona Del Mar State Beach is a beautiful place to walk with your leashed dogs. This beach is located at Iris Street and Ocean Boulevard in Corona Del Mar.
Newport Beach and Balboa Beach are dog friendly early in the morning and late in the afternoon. Both beaches are located along Balboa Blvd in Newport Beach. Parking is available in large lots near Newport Pier and Balboa Pier, or in the neighborhoods near by. The neighborhoods are filled with cute beach houses. We like to park for free on one of the side streets and then walk through the neighborhood to get to the beach.
Huntington Dog Beach allows well behaved dogs to run off leash in the surf. This beach is located along Pacific Coast Highway in Huntington Beach between 21st Street and Seapoint Street. Dogs love this beach.

GERMAN SHEPHERD RESCUE OF OC HOSTS ADOPTION EVENT AT CENTINELA FEED
Come shake paws with the German Shepherds of the GSROC and make a friend for all seasons.
COSTA MESA, Calif. – The German Shepherd Rescue of Orange County will host an adoption event at Centinela Feed on November 14. German Shepherds will be available for adoption and GSROC merchandise will be available for sale. The German Shepherds are looking for owners that can make them a part of their family not just for this holiday season but for all seasons.
Dawn and Jeff Gaulke adopted their German Shepherds through the GSROC. The couple made Shasta a part of their family in 2001 and Gunny in 2004.
“Gunny and Shasta love us for who we are, not what we do, or how much money we have. If you are having a bad day, they make you feel better and you don’t want to disappoint them,” Dawn said. “So no matter how tired you are, you walk them and play with them. They are always glad to see us and want to be with us. They follow us around the house just to make sure we aren’t going for a walk, a ride, and are content to hang out.” Dawn describes the process as easy but thorough. The organization only wants the best and most secure environment for their German Shepherds.
“The adoption process is easy, you complete an application and pay the fees. The fees include neutering, shots, microchipping,” Dawn explained. “The organization also does a house check to make sure the home is secure for their dogs.”
This adoption event will take place on November 14 from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Centinela Feed. Centinela Feed is located at 2320 Harbor Blvd. in Costa Mesa. Volunteers will be holding a bake sale and collecting cell phones to recycle. All proceeds from the bake sale, merchandise sale and cell phone recycling will go directly to the GSROC.
The German Shepherd Rescue of Orange County is a non-profit 501c(3) charity organization dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating and re-homing purebred German Shepherd Dogs that have nowhere else to turn. The organization is run by an unpaid staff of volunteers and is funded entirely by private donations. Dogs for adoption are housed in foster home situations and in private boarding facilities.

Wolf Hybrid in Newport Beach
Nukka is a wolf hybrid. She is half Alaskan husky and half wolf. These dogs were bred to star in a movie that needed wolves. The producers were afraid that wolves might injure the movie stars, so they used gentle wolf hybrids. Nukka weighs about 130 pounds. Some of her brothers weigh as much as 190 pounds. Nukka lives in Newport Beach and enjoys walking along the boardwalk, watching the tourists go by, and cooling off in the shower.

Dogs at Fashion Island
Some very large dogs like to walk around Fashion Island. This big puppy is a Newfoundland. This color Newfoundland dog is called a Landseer. One of his handlers is carrying a water bottle and a slobber rag. Newfoundlands are as comfortable in water as they are on land. This breed comes from the Canadian coast where they worked with fishermen pulling boats and nets. Newfoundland dogs love to pull anything from the water, including people who may or may not need to be rescued.
