German Shorthaired Pointer Rescue

General Information

• This has been a very difficult year for GSP rescue.  We have been overwhelmed with the number of dogs needing to be rescued.  At any given time, there are scores of GSPs in shelters at risk of being euthanized.  We have limited foster homes and funds and, unfortunately, can't save them all.  Please consider becoming a foster home for needy GSPs or making a donation to our rescue effort.  If you'd like more information about assisting in the rescue of GSPs, please contact us at foster@gsprescuedogs.com  To make a donation, please click on the PayPal button or contact us at donate@gsprescuedogs.com  or NorCal GSP Rescue, P.O. Box 933, Menlo Park, CA 94026
   
  
• The GSPs that are currently available for adoption can be found on the  Available GSPs page. Most of them are either in foster care, a shelter or a boarding kennel.  To begin the adoption process, please fill out the Adoption Questionnaire    

• Note that we do not generally do long distance adoptions.  The only exceptions are for our dogs that may be a bit more difficult to place such as seniors and those with special needs.  To find a rescuer in your area, check the Nationwide Contacts list on the National GSP Rescue web site.

• If you have not had the pleasure of having a GSP as part of your family, please read the article "Is a GSP Right for You?".  The article will give you more information about the breed, what to expect and the type of exercise and training needed to have a happy and healthy GSP companion.

• For the comfort and safety of our dogs,  our rescues only go to homes with fenced yards and must have house privileges.

• Before going to their new homes, all of our rescue dogs are altered, have been heartworm tested, are up to date on shots (rabies, DHLPP, Bordetella), have had a complete veterinary exam and are microchipped.  We also provide any additional medical care that a dog may require while in our care.

• We learn of GSPs in need of rescue every day.  If you are interested in a GSP but do not see what you're looking for on our site, please contact us and we'll put you in our database for future contact should a suitable GSP become available.

• If you are interested in helping a GSP by becoming a foster family, please contact us.
