​Leroy found his forever home this past Saturday. Yay Leroy. The Smith family says Leroy is settling nicely in his new home. Congratulations Leroy and the Smith family.

​Nova has found her forever home with the Brown family!  Nova not only has a canine sibling but also a human teenage sibling to play with. And his new family are very familiar with GSP antics and energy and are having a great time with Nova (notice the tail blur).
 
A big thank you to Nova’s foster parents Ernie and Knan for preparing her for this day!  Congrats everyone!

Rooster’s foster family, the Fredericks, have decided their family is growing by four paws—Rooster has officially joined the family!  We saw this coming in their first family pic.

​From Rooster’s family, “We have wanted a GSP for a while now. Both my husband and I grew up with them and loved how loyal they are. We found the SEGSP rescue and knew this was the best place to find our next rescue dog. We applied for a pup and made it to the finals, but she went to a family that was a better fit. Then, we were asked to foster Nala and agreed. She was a wonderful, loving girl and it was so rewarding helping her find her perfect family. When we got the call asking if we would foster Rooster, we quickly agreed. It was pretty clear, even on that first ride home, that he was going to be hard to part with. Every week, our family fell more in love with him. Even the cat has come around tolerating him!  He loves to explore the outdoors and come snuggle up in the evenings, which is just like us! We are so excited to become Rooster’s forever family and grateful to SEGSP for filling our house with puppy love and mischief.”

​Rooster, it sounds like you’ve found the perfect spot.  We couldn’t be happier for you and your family.  Thank you so much to the Fredericks for being such awesome volunteers for SEGSP Rescue.  We are so grateful for you!

After a lot of thought and consideration, Maverick has decided on a name change…for his foster family.  He’s decided to call them his forever family and he’s staying put!
 
From his dad, "I found SEGSP and we started a journey by applying for one of the dogs in foster care in the last year or so.  I was blown away with the process and how each person involved spoke highly about the rescue. We made it to the top 3 families for that dog, but ultimately, another family was chosen.  We ended up becoming fosters and first fostered Goose, and because this boy loved to run, we knew that his perfect family was elsewhere.  We found him an amazing family with a giant farm.  A short time later, another dog, Tag, needed a foster home.  We said yes.  Once we met him, we knew he wasn’t going to leave. He has so much personality and is just amazing. We’ve had Tag for just over 7 months.
 
When we got the call about fostering Maverick, I knew from the beginning that we weren’t going to be able to let him go. He was just a baby (five weeks old) and I slept in the floor with him for a few nights to make sure he was comfortable. He quickly learned who his brother and sister were and that they wanted to play just as much as him. He learned from the older dogs to go outside pretty quickly. The kids wanted to hold him nonstop and we all just wanted to watch him. He was just what we always wanted-a little puppy for the kids to grow up with. He constantly reminds me that he has the attention span of a goldfish and is always on the move. He has shown us all that with a little patience you can learn anything. We are really blessed to be able to give him a forever home, and to watch him learn and grow."  

And from Maverick's mom, "SEGSP has been a blessing for our family, for our boys Tag and Maverick, for our first foster Goose  and so many more GSPs and their families. We recommend SEGSP to anyone and everyone that will listen. We encourage people to volunteer for this wonderful opportunity to help these beautiful dogs in any way possible. Every bit of help from volunteers is greatly appreciated by everyone we have come in contact with through the rescue. We have met wonderful people and dogs along our SEGSP journey. We will continue to volunteer each and every time we can. We even have the opportunity to let Maverick see his brother and continue that relationship with his family throughout the years. 
 
Tag and Maverick have a forever home that is filled with love because of this amazing organization. Our boys are some of the most intelligent and athletic dogs we’ve ever been around. Andrew has wanted a GSP puppy for as long as I can remember, and Maverick has filled a spot in our hearts that we will forever cherish."
 
Sounds like a match made in heaven.  Congratulations to Maverick and to the Moores.  And thank you for your service to this organization and to these amazing dogs.  We are lucky to have great volunteers like you.

Tori has happy new year news… SHE IS HOME!  From Tori’s foster mom Deanna, “It is with happy hearts that our precious 10-year-old senior girl Tori has been adopted by a wonderful family who have been waiting for the right senior to come along.  Tori came to us with a lot of anxiety from a shelter where she had been surrendered due to divorce but really settled down into a happy, sweet confident girl.  Many tears were shed as Tori left for her new home today with Jamie, Kris, and Alex where she will join her new fur brother Auston.  Thank you SEGSP Rescue for all you do for these special dogs.”
 
Thank you Deanna for helping Tori along her path – and what a wonderful journey she is embarking on!  Congrats to everyone!
