Our motto: "A hunt for a good home." We place dogs who didn't get a good deal the first time around, or sometimes had a good deal that abruptly ended. Dogs, supplies, and funds are donated. The club assists in finding foster homes and owners, and operates referrals to help place dogs.
If you are interested in adopting, please help us start the process by filling out our Adoption Application.
Stevie 2 yr solid liver that is blind. A special needs dog that will need a special family that may need to make adjustments for Stevie. Not that he needs a lot of help, he does quite well when in the field playing with other dogs or even walking off leash around the perimeter with a volunteer. A very sweet boy that gets along well with every dog he has met. He is sure to warm your heart.

Jes 10-year-old male German Shorthaired Pointer that was rescued from a shelter in Kern Co and most likely dumped by someone that no longer wanted an "old" dog. Great disposition. A little arthiritic and might benefit from some daily supplements. Gets along well with most other dogs. Jes could be the perfect companion for someone in a multi-dog home or someone that just wants an only dog. He doesn't require much. A little exercise, a place to nap, and some love. Note: many older dogs can live for several years, often into their teens, requiring only a healthy diet and a little exercise. While some older dogs may need supplements or medicine, the cost is often affordable.

The California German Shorthaired Pointer Rescue is sponsored by the GSP Club of DeLuz Mountain Empire. Many of our rescued Shorthairs enjoy foster homes provided by members of the GSP Club of DeLuz Mountain Empire. All dogs are spayed or neutered, inoculated, microchipped, crate trained, and evaluated before placement. Most dogs are purebred shorthairs, some are shorthair mixes Adoptions must be approved by the GSP Rescue Committee, which verifies information. Many of the dogs have also been taken through some amount of obedience, show, or hunt training by the club members. Dogs placed from the California German Shorthaired Pointer Rescue are healthy, warranted by an adoption contract, and are eligible for free obedience training through the GSP Club of DeLuz Mountain Empire.
Contact us for the latest scoop on these and other shorthairs, or e-mail us at: info@gsp-rescue.org.
NEW DOG OWNERS, SUPPLIES, ASSISTANCE NEEDED
Since we rescue GSPs throughout Southern California, we get a high number of rescue dog referrals. With all of the traffic, we need more assistance.
ITEMS AND HELP THAT WE MUST HAVE:
MEMBERS
We need the help of members to come to the Rescue Center on Saturday mornings for Rescue Dog Training. It helps make the dogs more adoptable.
NEW OWNERS
These dogs desperately want and need responsible owners dedicated to giving them a loving home and willing to properly raise them to be well-behaved dogs.
FOSTER HOMES
These dogs are not perfect, but have no chance to become upstanding dogs without a chance to stay alive until new owners can come for them.
TRANSPORTATION
Dogs need shuttling between shelters, foster homes, and their potential adopters from the Mexican border to Santa Barbara. It's a rewarding and often pleasurable way to spend a weekend afternoon.
REFERRALS
Permanent homes are what they need. Adopters referred to us must be screened to ensure that these dogs will be adequately attended, have appropriate yards for exercise, and will have a special person matched with them for love and appreciation.
TRAINERS
We can use people to come by on Saturday mornings to help train the rescue dogs prior to placement. A trained rescue dog is a dog that will place quicker and be less likely to be returned to the Rescue Shelter because of problems.
RESOURCES
We always have a need for used kennel crates (such as airline transport containers) to house rescue dogs. Our dog food of choice is the Nutro brand of dog foods. We'll take anything you can send us. Fees for adoptions barely cover the incurred animal shelter fees, neutering, and immunization costs, so donations of every type keep us afloat. Cash, check, or money order donations are also graciously accepted.
Please contact us if:
- You are in the Southern California region and want to adopt a German Shorthaired Pointer. (Those outside of the region will also be considered.)
- You know of a German Shorthaired Pointer within the California region that is in the pound or in a home who will be abandoned or destroyed unless adopted.
- You are anywhere in the world and want to help the California GSP Rescue.
- You want to receive further information about the California GSP Rescue.
