Belle is tons of fun

Belle is tons of fun

The best part about volunteering at a rescue is having fun with the dogs! Belle entertained us recently with her very own special technique of pouncing and fetching one of the new toys. Belle has lots of energy when it comes to play time, but like any adult dog, is able to concentrate on the...
Anna loves to explore

Anna loves to explore

Anna is a solid liver gsp/lab mix.  We believe Anna is about  8 years old.  She is quite a cutie-pie full of affection. She  loves to go on long walks and to explore out on the trail. She also has fun exploring the yard running back and forth, smelling every nook & cranny. Anna is...
Zorro looking for treats and kisses

Zorro looking for treats and kisses

Zorro loves chasing balls and toys – but when he is done romping in the field, he comes looking for treats and kisses. We love watching this 5 year enjoying his play time, but we will take the cute little kisses any day! For more information on this exceptional 5 year old, click here.
Drake gets adopted!

Drake gets adopted!

Finding homes for the adult and senior GSPs is often a challenge. Drake was no different. Given his age and a few other minor faults, he wasn’t one of the most adoptable GSPs and was often overlooked by potential adopters who gravitate toward the younger candidates. However, he caught Denise’s eye who spent quite a...
Basil learning new tricks

Basil learning new tricks

As proof that old dogs can learn new tricks (not that Basil is that old), Basil is learning new commands in training. It is never too late to teach a GSP – with attention and praise and consistency, they are trainable at any age. Basil is an energetic 10 year old who loves the attention...
In Memory Of Ranger

We were recently contacted by one of our previous adopters about the recent loss of his dog Ranger, whom he adopted from us 10 years ago.  He shared this with us… “Sadly, I had to say good bye to Ranger today at age 14.  About a week ago I noticed that he had problems getting...
Double the Love for 4 more days!

Double the Love for 4 more days!

We are just under $4K in our double the love campaign.  An anonymous donor has offered to double all donations during the month of February up to $5K.  We are overwhelmed and thankful for each of your support!  This money goes directly to the GSP’s that need care beyond what the adoption fees do not...
Abbey (A4397698) is safe!

Abbey (A4397698) is safe!

Earlier today Volunteers Lisa and Teri helped Abbey make her way to safety from a high kill shelter in Southern California. A dog like Abbey, given her age at 10 years old, can be tough to place, however, at a high kill shelter, her chances of being adopted are even slimmer. She’ll be safe now...
Charlie gets adopted!

Charlie gets adopted!

Charlie is one amazing GSP. While he had a few rough edges in the beginning, he polished up nicely. If he was several years younger, he could have been adopted out a number of times but, given his age, he is one of the GSPs that was often overlooked. Fortunately, there are individuals in this...
