Our Girl Macy

admin — Fri, 18 May 2012 00:00:30 +0000

Macy was relinquished to the shelter by her owners – likely because of the many lumps she had. We can’t imagine any other reason because we adore Macy. She is spunky and affectionate. She is playful and well-behaved. Thanks to many generous friends of CA GSP Rescue, the lumps are removed and she is ready for her forever home. She’d be an easy addition to a home where she would be the only dog but might do well with certain male dogs. We guarantee two things – she will give you lots of attention and affection!

Val

Val 5 year old female GSP. Extremely sweet and affectionate toward people. She needs someone that is going to appreciate this trait as Val has separation anxiety issues when left alone. House trained and obedient – has had some obedience training but will need someone willing to continue training. Likes going for walks and hikes.

Sadie is Adopted!

Sadie is adopted! Good thing, because her foster family was falling in love with her! It looks like she’s having the same effect on her forever family, too; they sent us this update, “She really is so easy and so much fun. She and Buddy play all the time, it’s nice that they get along and enjoy one another. Her good manners are already rubbing off on Buddy too!”

Thank you to Brady, Heather, and little Buddy for giving Sadie a forever home!

Magic

admin — Wed, 16 May 2012 16:15:17 +0000

Magic 2 yr old GSP/Lab mix. This little girl is beautiful and, while initially a little shy, she warms up quickly to anyone that pets her. Magic appears to be half lab but her coat length appears to be more GSP – short with a single coat. She gets along well with other dogs that like to play and would do best in a home with other playful dogs or someone that has a lot of time to spend with her. She needs a home where she can get the exercise and attention she needs.

Shadow Still Needs Our Help

admin — Wed, 16 May 2012 00:00:30 +0000

With only less than 16 days to go, we have met only a fraction or the costs for Shadow’s Surgery.

Fortunately, CA GSP Rescue has received a few donations to help cover part of the cost of Shadow’s $2000 surgery, however, there is still a balance of just over $1000. We are looking for 50 people to donate $20 to reach our goal by June 1st! Please help if you can by donating and also by sharing this post!

Shadow was recently returned to the rescue when his owner passed away. When Shadow came back to the rescue, he had a large 3 lb Splenic growth which resulted in having to perform a Splenectomy. After consulting with Dr Kang, a surgery was scheduled to remove the tumor, which without a doubt, saved his life, and Dr. Kang says his prognosis is good!

Nigel

Nigel 5 year old EP. Nigel came to CA GSP Rescue from a local shelter that had exhausted all avenues in finding him a home. He gets along well with other dogs and is very responsive. Knows “sit” and perhaps a few other commands – he’ll need a little work. Still quite active, this boy will need someone with plenty of time for exercise and training.

Roscoe did well in training

admin — Mon, 14 May 2012 13:00:15 +0000

Recently Roscoe attended one of our Saturday Morning Obedience classes and he did great! Roscoe has already had some training and knows several commands. His current family says that he “Minds extremely well” and knows “Sit”, “Off”, and is working on “Down”. Roscoe’s family is moving out of the country at the end of the month and will be unable to take Roscoe. Click here to learn more about Roscoe.

My foster Foster

admin — Sun, 13 May 2012 15:30:38 +0000

Our new foster is Foster! His first day has been spent cautiously observing us and looking for a corner as far away from the “action” as possible. I don’t know what happened to him before, why he is so timid and shy, but I know what is in his future: lots of yummy treats, lots of love, and lots of hugs – just as soon as he decides to let us!

I hope to be sharing good news soon, about my foster Foster! ~ Volunteer Cindy

Baron is adopted!

admin — Sat, 12 May 2012 14:33:26 +0000

It’s not every day we get applications from people who have chickens. And it seemed like it might be difficult to find a good match, except that we had gentle, sweet Baron. Already in a foster home where he was used to being around chickens (and goats!), he was a great match for Teri. She wrote to us shortly after taking him home, “Oh I can’t thank you enough for Baron! He is doing so well! He is so affectionate and smiles all the time.” That’s because he knows he is in his forever home. Thanks so much, Teri, for adopting!

Dixie’s trail walks

admin — Fri, 11 May 2012 13:00:53 +0000

We try to walk, train and get to know each of the GSP’s in our care to best find the perfect forever home for them. Dixie was out with one of our volunteers who really enjoyed Dixie taking pleasure in her walk. She told us “Dixie is so happy and energetic. She loves to go on long walks. I use a harness and a long 30′ lead so she can bound all around and look in the bushes for any little creatures. When its warm she looks for water to lie in and cool her body off. After she soaks her body in water she is ready to hit the trail and head back.” Dixie would like to be an only dog and would love a home with critters to search for in the yard and people to lay near at night and call her own.
