Shelter Dog Referrals (listed in yellow)

The dogs listed below are currently at shelters and are in danger of being euthanized.  Please contact the shelter directly for more information.

Shelter Dog URGENT: Needs out of shelter!!! Location: Lakeport, CA Danny is a 6 year old male GSP. According to the shelter, he is neutered, up to date on shots and chipped. He is a nice boy. He loves hikes, and loves to ride in the car. His previous owner was in a wheelchair and died recently. Danny is very gentle after being raised by Tina. He misses her, but is bonding nicely here, and getting used to a different life. He is an easy keeper, walks off leash, comes in the yard when it's time, crates for supper, crawls in "his" chair for night time. Claire and Danny went to a Memorial Day parade and did great! They were a hit! They walked down the street with heads held high, and did a pointer prance the whole way. We have good news and bad news about Danny. The good news is that Danny was adopted last week. The bad news is that he was returned. The good news is that he was returned because of something someone can fix. He got out of his new yards. Under one fence, and over another. Danny can also lift gate latches, which is what he does here. But, when he gets out here, he just hangs around, looking for lizards. At his other short lived home, he did come back home after walk abouts. The other good news is that in his short week, he was found to be very affectionate, well mannered, easy to walk with a prong collar, cuddly, and he started playing with the other dog in the home. His temp owners liked him so much they are sponsoring him here at the High Lonesome foster home.   If you're interested in Danny, please contact the shelter at (707) 349-2624 and refer to ID #474513.

Shelter Dog   URGENT: Needs out of shelter!!! Location: Santa Clara, CA Hi I'm Lola. I'm a sweet older girl who just wants a family that will love me as much as I will them. I would love a daily walk with as much cuddle time as you can give! I'm bonded with my son Logan A#29690 and would love to be adopted out with him.  If you're interested in Lola, please contact the shelter at (408) 727-3383 and refer to ID #29691.

Shelter Dog   URGENT: Needs out of shelter!!! Location: Petaluma, CA The shelter says: Diesel is a sweetie - he loves to lean on you! He likes physical contact. And it's sad, because in his previous home he had been an outdoor dog - never allowed in the house. It's time that changed! He clearly is not happy being outside by himself all day; he does have a history of some barking, and we've seen it here. What else we know is what a nice dog Diesel is; he really does love to go on walks, pays attention to you, and seeks you out! He wants to be the only dog in the family, and no cats, please. He will be a great companion for someone active, who likes to take walks daily, or jogging would be great too. He will need a patient owner who will help him adjust to the comfy indoor life! Diesel is 6 years old, and already neutered. If you're interested in Diesel, contact the shelter at (707) 778-4396.

GSP Rescue Foster Dogs

The following dogs are in the GSP Rescue program and are currently in one of our wonderful foster homes.  Please contact GSP Rescue at info@gsprescuedogs.com or (408) 402-2092 for more information on any of these dogs.

 

Still searching for his forever home!!! Location: Bay Area, CA Tommy is a mature neutered male GSP who would like you to know that numbers don't mean anything. He thinks he's 2 and can certainly keep up with you! Tommy is super sweet toward all people, good with other dogs and is the very favorite dog of his foster family's 5 year old daughter. Housetraining and crate training are already under his belt and he just graduated from a basic obedience class. When Tommy's tail wags, his whole body wiggles--truly adorable. Life with Tommy and a cat would probably be more exciting than you want it to be, so a cat-free home would be best. You won't be sorry if you give Mr. Adoptable a chance and make him part of your family.  If you're interested in meeting this wonderful GSP, please fill out our Adoption Questionnaire.   HELP TOMMY WALK PAIN FREE!: Tommy just had a consultation with our wonderful orthopedist because he’s been limping on and off the past couple of months.  It turns out that he has a ligament tear in his right knee.  The best results will be for Tommy to have surgery which will bring him back to close to 100%!  His foster home is prepared to follow through with his post-surgical care and rehab, and our orthopedist will give our rescue group a significant discount!  Still, we are in need of $2900 in order to provide the surgery.  Any amount, large or small, will help immensely.  Tax deductible donations can be made via the Paypal button below or sent to PO Box 933, Menlo Park, CA 94026. Tommy thanks you! (Click pictures to enlarge)
