 This is what Waylon thinks about getting neutered LOL! This photo was taken right before surgery. His foster mom Jennifer said he was scared so they let her stay with him until he went to sleep. He handled surgery just fine, but we understand he was a bit discombobulated before surgery – poor guy.
Thank you, Jennifer, for being with him for support! And now that he’s neutered, he’s ready to be adopted. But don’t get your hopes up because a little birdie said he’d like to stay where he is… we’ll confirm in a later post 😊 #GSPrescue #GSPfunny #gspsupport  Ranger (AL, 1 yo) has finally completed his heartworm treatment – yay! His foster dad Robert said, “Ranger is doing very well and we're now past the recovery period from heartworm treatments. He has a great personality, a cat harassing him, and he is great with that. I've gotten him dialed in with crate training, sit/heel/stop/retrieve commands, and he seems to have hunting abilities that can be perfected with a little more training. He is very healthy and energetic, loves to run and swim, and never gets tired of chasing squirrels and birds! I've put about 10 pounds on him since I picked him up, he was skin and bones when I got him from the shelter. I'm having a trainer I know work with him for a month at my expense and dial in his remaining obedience work like off-leash, field commands, and behaviors in stores and restaurants etc., and to help determine his natural capabilities for retrieving and pointing, which I'll have him trained for if we decide to adopt.” Wow, Ranger, you hit the jackpot with your foster home! Thank you, Robert, for all you’ve done and are doing for Ranger. We look forward to hearing how his training goes…
#AL  Welcome to rescue Hazel (AL). Hazel and her friend Raven (who is still waiting for a foster home) were strays at the Greater Birmingham Humane Society. Hazel is around 6 years old, 38 lbs (very underweight), and thankfully is heartworm negative. We are thrilled that our Alabama foster volunteer, Sandra, stepped up immediately to foster Hazel. This will be Sandra’s fourth foster dog for SEGSP Rescue – THANK YOU Sandra! Hazel may not have worms, but she’ll need to gain a few pounds before she can be spayed, microchipped, temperament tested, as well as learn some basic commands before she is ready for adoption. Cross your fingers that she doesn’t have kennel cough, but that’s likely the case. If all goes well, that will be in about 4 weeks, but we anticipate a little longer.
#AL  Helga (AL, 7 yo) is happy cuddling with her foster mom CJ. Here is her latest update…
“Helga is doing great! I actually had to take off work to try and get her to the vet, but I’ve got a day off next week when the vet’s open, so I’ll be taking her then. As for other updates, we’ve gotten into a nice routine, and she really thrives on having a schedule. We usually wake up around the same time every day, head outside for some playtime and fetch, and let her run around a bit before I have to leave for work. She loves getting outside to burn off energy a few times a day, but once she’s had her fun, she’s a total couch potato. She’s a cuddle bug—total Velcro baby. She loves being right under me and definitely thinks she’s a lot smaller than she is when she climbs into my lap! She’s still a little sensitive about having her legs, feet, or butt touched—even accidentally—but she doesn’t bite, which is great. She’ll sometimes growl, but she listens really well when corrected. We’ve also stopped crating her when we leave, and she’s done excellent! She’s such a sweet girl and is settling in really well.” Thank you CJ – we appreciate everything you’re doing for Helga! This diva girl is almost ready to start her search so stay tuned. #AL |
