Foster Dog News
2025
Essie (aka Estrella, 4/1/2 yo in TN), standing on the right, sure does love her foster brother. In fact, she’s gotten along well with all the dogs she’s met. She is an “in your face” type of playmate, so her forever home would be great if they had another dog who doesn’t mind sharing their space. And she absolutely loves being outside to play and run. She will be in foster care another week or two and will then be looking for her forever home so please be on the lookout for more details.
#SEGSPrescue #GSPplaymate #GSPfun #TN To say that Catie (1 year old in TN) likes her foster brothers is an understatement. She follows them around and wants to do everything they’re doing, especially her favorite, Dom. And here, she’s walking right between them, her favorite spot.
Catie is being fostered in TN by the Kesslers. You’ll remember that came to rescue emaciated. Now that we have her healthy, we are working on some confidence and anxiety issues. This poor girl wasn’t treated very well before she came to us, but she knows nothing but love now. We will be sure to share updates on her progress and can’t wait until she’s ready to find her forever home. #SEGSPrescue #GSPconfidence #GSP # NC Toby (FL, 2 yo) just started his heartworm treatment. His foster mom Paige says he is a quirky boy and likes to be right there with her all the time (sounds like a GSP to us LOL!). He’s also quite a handsome boy.
Paige said, “He’s fully potty trained, knows a few tricks, and is mostly crate trained. He eats in the crate and will run and wait in his crate when it’s mealtime. He has no issues in the crate while I’m at work, but he will whine if he knows someone is still in the house.” Toby has a few more months in rescue for his heartworm treatment before he’s ready to be adopted. Thank you so much to Paige and her family for fostering Toby! #SEGSPrescue #gsprescue #gspvelcro #FL Hope (AL, 2 yo) is finally eating well and settling into her foster home. Her foster mom Jenny said, “At first, she was very anxious and paced a lot. She didn’t eat the first couple of days, but we finally are back to eating twice a day. She LOVES TO RUN!! Gets along great with Cash. …She hasn’t been introduced to cats; she follows commands but is still working at walking better on a leash. You can tell she’s been just in a yard and not socialized." Thank you Jenny for taking such good care of Hope.
Hope needs a couple more weeks in rescue before she’s ready for adoption. Once she’s ready, she’ll be listed on our website under “Dogs Ready for Adoption” at https://www.segsprescue.org/available-dogs.html #SEGSPrescue #GSPenergy #GSPrescue #AL We have another wonderful update for Odie (NC, 4.5 years old) from his foster mom. Loretta said, “He’s now sleeping upstairs on his own bed. Hurray! No longer using the kennel when we leave for a couple of hours. He’s got a doggie door and dog company. He caught his first squirrel and wouldn’t let go :{ He loves to go on hikes and his daily walks. And he brings us toys all the time. Odie is a very sweet and loving dog.” Odie is healthy and neutered, so he just needs a couple more weeks of temperament evaluation and training before he’s ready for adoption. Thank you, Loretta and David, Odie is a very lucky boy to have you as his foster family 😊 #luckyboy #segsprescue #gsp
Addison has found her forever home, right with her foster family, the Moons! Her dad said, "Addie is working out great for us! She gets along great with our yellow lab, Ella. She comes when I call and does well off leash in the yard. She's very calm in the house and loves to take naps in our laps." We are so grateful for the Moon family and how much they give back to our rescue by fostering. And we are thrilled that this one was a foster "fail." Sometimes, it's just the perfect fit, even if you didn't expect it. #fosterfailfriday #gsp #segsprescue
Lulu has so much to celebrate… March 18th was her 4th birthday and it’s also her Gotcha Day. That’s right, she found her forever home! Her foster mom Katherine said “It’s the perfect start to her new life with her forever family (born 3/18/2021 and adopted 3/18/2025). Only God! He cares for our doggies as much as we do!!”
Lulu is an extremely lucky girl to have been fostered by Katherine and her family. THANK YOU, Katherine, – you are so very appreciated! And congrats to Lulu and her new family! #adopted #gotchaday #segsprescue 🌟 Exciting News! It’s another foster fail Friday🌟 From mom Kristin, “We’re thrilled to share that our sweet Maizy (formerly Doppler), one of Millie’s pups, has officially joined our family! 💕🐾 We began fostering her in early December through SEGSP Rescue here in South Florida, and it didn’t take long for us to realize this little girl was meant to stay with us forever. Maizy has fit in beautifully with our pack, and we couldn’t adore her more. She’s a social butterfly who loves both people and other dogs. While she can be a tad shy at first, her warm and loving nature shines through in no time. She’s already had so many fun adventures—she adores her walks, is obsessed with car rides, and even enjoyed her first boat trip recently! We are absolutely smitten with this sweet girl and can’t wait to make even more memories with her by our side. 💕🐾💕” #SEGSPRescue #FosterFail #ForeverHome
Harley (FL) has finished his heartworm treatment – YAY! His foster mom said “He is great on leash, and he is a very polite greeter of new folks. He lives with 2 xl dogs and one small dog and does well with everyone. He is starting to learn to play with toys finally, although he is a little nervous about it initially. He still gets nervous about raised voices at times, but he is really a sensitive and loving boy who seems to not meet a stranger. He just wants to be friends with everyone he meets. Very focused when he sees the neighborhood cats though, so I don’t know if he could be introduced to them safely or not. He gets over excited at times when giving kisses and tries to nibble your chin, so I have tried to work on not allowing that. He will really make someone a fantastic family pet. Energy for days!”
Thank you, Tara!! Harley will be ready for adoption soon so keep an eye on our “Dogs Ready for Adoption” website page at https://www.segsprescue.org/available-dogs.html #SEGSPrescue #GSPenergy #GSP We have an update on Belle (FL, on the right), who is about one year old, healthy and a typical young pup – she has LOTS of energy! Belle has been described as a work in progress and will need an experienced GSP owner to help teach her manners and patience. She loves other dogs, big and small, and they help give her the exercise she needs. She will need a family that is willing to keep her on a strict schedule. She is very loving and sweet when she is fully exercised and happy. She’s healthy but will need at least 4 weeks in rescue for more temperament evaluation before she’ ready for adoption.
Thank you, Laura, for fostering this pretty ball of energy! #SEGSPrescue #GSPenergy #GSP |
