Featured Dog – Macy’s treat training
Macy is very treat driven. While training her we realized that she had some unfavorable treat behaviors. She would bark and whine at her trainer trying to get them to give her their treats. Her trainers patiently waited for her to stop barking and jumping and, within minutes, she was sitting patiently waiting for her...
Featured Dog – Macy on a leash
Volunteers get Macy out for walks each Saturday before training. It is a great chance for us to see what kind of training she has had on a leash and how she reacts to people out on a walk. Macy is a pro! On Saturday she went for a nice long walk and , while...
Featured Dog – Macy’s socialization
Macy came to us with little socialization with other dogs. We have been working with her for a few months now trying to get her comfortable with other dogs and it has been a process for her. When she first came to us we could not trust her with any dog near her. Over the...
Featured Dog – Macy loves her treats
We were recently able to get Macy out in the field to play and exercise. One volunteer had a tennis ball and one volunteer had treats. She would fake interest in the tennis ball until the volunteer threw it and immediately run to the other volunteer with the treats. Macy is great with her people...

Wilbur is a lucky dog to have found such a great foster home. He just loves his GSP sister Sadie, often sharing a bed and snuggling with her. Wilbur has also found a love of reading, especially when his human foster sister is snuggling up to do the reading with him. As much as his...
Featured Dog – Mojo likes people
Mojo loves people, play time and training…almost anything that involves his people. He is never too far from the people when playing in the field. He keeps his eyes on the task at hand…whether it is chasing a ball, training with his person or walking on a trail. He has a great human-friendly personality. Click here to...
Featured Dog – Mojo is named well
The original meaning of the word Mojo is “a magical charm or spell”. At the CA GSP Rescue we think the name suits him quite well. He can charm people with his intense interest in pleasing them and his zest for life. He is a 5-6 year old boy that acts like a two years...
