​Jett, now spelled Jet (the solid black GSP), is officially a foster fail! This is his new family, Katie and Jackson’s, second time adopting from SEGSP.  Jet now has two siblings to play with (Gus and Leon) and to stare down the refrigerator!   We are positive Jet is going to have an awesome life with his new family.  Congratulations everyone!

Boone is officially a Crosby! 

From his foster mom Marion, “When we got to his new home, he ran around the yard and gave everything a good once over before meeting his new doggy sister Sadie! They hit it off immediately and played together so well. Fred and Mary are so sweet and are ready to give Boone the best life. He’s already got a new collar to show off his new last name.  It’s bittersweet to let him go but Matt and I feel so much peace knowing he’s going to be adored by his new family.”

From his new family, “When we decided it was time for another GSP we started to look for a rescue from SEGSP rescue. We wanted to help a dog rather than get another puppy. In finding Boone we have found everything we were looking for. Sadie found her forever partner in crime with Boone. We couldn’t be happier that Sadie (our 2 yr old lab) has someone to help her dig holes in the backyard, swim in the Marsh and chase birds on the Beach, and of course chewing up their toys in the house!”

​Thank you Marion (in yellow) who reviewed many applicants and narrowed it down to the Crosby family.  They took the time to make sure it was a perfect fit for Boone’s needs.  Congrats everyone!

​After carefully considering all applicants, Mac has chosen his forever home!  And his foster mom, Kerry, did a fantastic job helping!

From his new dad, Pete:

“ Working with SEGSP has been a wonderful and emotional experience. I initially signed up to gain approval to be a foster parent for any of the sweet pups in transition (which I still plan on doing once Mac is a little older). I thought fostering would be a good way for me to help the organization, the dogs, as well as a way for me to ease into being a full-time dog dad again.  Knowing I’d likely be a foster fail, I decided to go ahead and consider adoption.

I love this particular breed so much, it was easy to fall in love with every doggy profile I read. I tried to be as responsible as possible with the applications I submitted, given me living alone, no other pets and my busy work schedule (Multi Family Construction Estimator). My future pup was going to be with me 95% of the time in my truck, working and driving around Tennessee making frequent stops at all the dog parks. Also taking mini adventures every 8 weeks to my family’s land in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Lots of land, water, dogs and dog lovers there.  Most dogs didn’t really fit this mold, even as badly as I wanted them to…until I saw Mac.

I almost immediately reacted off his stunning good looks and applied for him before reading his profile! But I tamed my recklessness and gave it a few thorough read-throughs before sending my application off to Kerry, his foster mom. Kerry reached out to me and asked if I’d like to meet him and if we could have a conversation on the phone. I got so nervous as this was a first! She was so sweet and helpful and guided me through all of my emotions and insecurities. After 2-3 phone convos later, she congratulated me and said we were a match. It was such an amazing feeling.

Mac and I have been inseparable ever since. He meets new friends every day, burns out his puppy energy at cool new parks daily, and learns his basic commands at night between dad working on his paperwork. He’s still learning getting in and out of the truck in a natural way, but he is still only small. 

I’m so very excited to work/adventure with him, he’s even got a neon yellow vest just like dad so everyone knows he’s official and means business :)

Thank you SEGSP!!!!”

Thank you, Pete, we couldn’t be happier for you and for Mac.   And to Kerry, who not only fostered Mac, but also temp fostered two of his littermates, we think you’re pretty amazing.  Job well done!  Mac looks like he made the perfect choice for his forever home.  We are so glad he let you help him pick.  ;-)

Mocha (aka Mandy) has found her furever home with the Cruz family. Mocha was one of the several puppies rescued from the hoarding situation in Arkansas several months ago. Mocha has grown into a sweet, silly girl with a huge personality. Mocha foster mom Jill deserves a huge thank you for taking on the responsibility of fostering both Mocha and her sister Tempo. Thank you, Jill.

Jill met the Cruz family at a Pet Smart so they could pick out some of her favorite things. Awww! The Cruz family says she did very well on her first night and everyone loves her.

Drake met his forever family and instantly fit right in with Jodi & Mr. Don. 
 
From his foster mom Brooke, “It has been a PLEASURE fostering sweet Drake Jones.  Lots of happy tears this morning.  So grateful to be a part of this rescue.”
 
And we’re so grateful that YOU are a part of SEGSP Brooke – thank you so much for fostering Drake and finding his family!  Congrats to Drake, Jodi and Mr. Don!

Paleo has found his forever home with the Moye family!  A huge thank you to his foster mom Izzy who fostered him through 3 months of heartworm treatment (no small task) and his first foster mom Michelle for getting him started on his journey!
 
From Izzy, “Paleo is doing amazing!! He loves his new home so much and him and his new dad are already attached at the hip! Their other family dog just passed away from cancer at a very old age so Paleo’s adoption was perfect timing and is mending their hearts back together!”
 
Congrats to Paleo, the Moye family and Izzy on a very successful adoption!
