Bodhi Is adopted!
Bodhi, a one year old energetic, ball loving GSP who was passed around to four different homes before coming to California GSP Rescue has found his forever home!
This gem of a boy, was known in his foster home as a “Ball Fetching Machine”! He was such a perfect gentleman that people would ask “what is wrong with him”? Absolutely nothing! Bodhi got along with all the dogs he met and didn't mind if they were ball hogs when playing fetch. He was so smart, and learned how to use a doggy door and was crate-trained in his foster home. Bodhi was also an early riser who liked to start his day with a brisk walk or run - thirty minutes minimum!
When looking for the perfect home for Bodhi, we knew it had to be special.
Mark and Linda are previous adopters. They have had many GSP’s, all who were loved deeply and have passed away. They understood the needs for this breed, and missed having a GSP in their home, so they came back to us and applied for a young GSP, but were open to other ages as well. Both retired, they had the time and the room to give a young GSP like Bodhi a life of never ending fetch, exercise, and surround him with many friends to play with, as their children who live close by would bring their dogs over to play.
We decided to introduce them to a few dogs since they were making quite a long drive. They were so excited and were counting down the days. They brought their sons dog, Dakota with them to meet the dogs to see how they would do since they would be spending alot of time together. Once they arrived and met all of the dogs, they had made an instant connection with Bodhi, and decided he was the one.
We are grateful to Mark and Linda for coming back to us to adopt a GSP. We were thrilled to be able to place another dog with them, as we knew any dog who was fortunate enough to be adopted and loved by them, would be one lucky dog.
“A long overdue email…
It’s been 4 months since we were blessed to adopt Bodhi (now spelled Bodie) from So Cal GSP Rescue. What a joy he brings to our home…
It has been a wild but fun ride so far and everyone who meets him is smitten with him.
Bodie is a very typical GSP. He is an avid counter surfer (we are still working on this!), digging, ball fetching, toy destroying guy.
He loves all people and dogs and is the first to greet anyone who dares come into the yard or house. He has lots of doggie cousins that come over each day and he loves to romp and play with them inside the house or out.
Each day we go exploring in all the tundra, trails, lakes and canals that our town has to offer. We do (at least) two walks each day and he always lets us know when it’s time! We walk several miles but he runs at least 3 or 4 more. All the while he is running after the ball that we “chuck” as far as we can.
When he is finally tired out, he is the best Velcro dog that thinks he is a lap dog! (Napping in the afternoon is his favorite time.)
Thanks so much Greg and Teri for blessing us with Bodie. So Cal GSP Rescue is a first-class rescue and we couldn’t be more appreciative for allowing us to become Bodie’s forever family”.
Mark and Linda
