Clibano (AL, 2 yo, 45 lbs.) is officially heartworm NEGATIVE – YAY! Her foster mom Michelle said, “She is doing great - Just a little compact love bug! Although she’s built like a brick house! Try moving her when she’s stuck on your lap ha-ha.”
Clibano has been spayed and now that we know she is heartworm negative, word has it she’s happy where she is, but we’ll wait for the official announcement before we celebrate. Thank you, Michelle, for all you do for this pretty gal! #gsplovebug #gsplapdog #gsphappy
He may not be very scary looking, but Rooster, being fostered in Tennessee, might be the cutest dragon we’ve ever seen.
Rooster goes in for his first heartworm injection on 11/3, so please send him and his foster family, The Perrys, happy and healing vibes as he begins his exercise restriction phase of treatment. Rooster continues to be the model Foster and we can’t wait until he starts looking for his forever home in about two months. Some family is going to be very lucky to have him join them. #heartwormtreatment #cutedragon #segsprescue  Everyone, meet Stanley, a handsome boy who was found near a hotel in Jackson, TN. The kind person who found him couldn’t keep him but made sure he got the help he needed — taking him to the humane society to check for a microchip (he didn’t have one). When the shelter was full, they reached out to their friend Danielle, who graciously agreed to foster him for SEGSP Rescue and help find his forever home. We think he is 3-4 years old.
Stanley was checked by the vet and is heartworm-negative, healthy, and now neutered! He’s estimated to be around four years old and has been a perfect houseguest — fully housebroken, no accidents, and does great left alone inside the house. Danielle says that he loves running and playing outside, but inside, he's super easygoing and chill. Danielle says, “Stanley is a wonderful dog with boundless energy and a love for running and hunting. He’s an excellent companion indoors and thrives on affection, as he’s not really motivated by toys or food. Stanley enjoys the company of people and other dogs, though he’s not a big fan of cats. He has a healthy appetite and is currently learning to master the skill of heeling.” We’re so grateful to Danielle for stepping up and giving Stanley a loving foster home. Please join us in welcoming this sweet boy to the SEGSP family!
🐾 Welcome, Pixie (NC)! 🐾
Sweet Pixie has officially joined the SEGSP Rescue family and is settling in beautifully! 💕 She’s learning all about the good life as an inside dog — playing with her foster sister Piper, exploring the fenced-in wooded yard (zoomies included 🏃♀️💨), and discovering the joy of dog toys for the very first time. 🎾 It’s been such a joy watching her begin to trust and open up — each day brings a little more sparkle to her personality. ✨ A huge thank you to Crystal for fostering Pixie and helping her begin this new chapter filled with love, safety, and adventure! 💛 #SEGSPRescue #WelcomePixie #FosterLove #AdoptDontShop 
Hi, I’m Johnny (SC)! I was a runaway brought to a shelter, and have been with my foster family for 1 month. I have settled in wonderfully, and love playing with my two foster brothers! I know how to “sit” and “get down”, and have been doing better at learning how to come when called. I have learned not to be anxious when my foster parents leave for work, and sleep on the couch all day while they’re gone and have no accidents! I walk great on a leash with a harness and am a gentleman on car rides. I’m very curious and clever- sometimes I like to be a little naughty and open cabinets and even figured out how to open the refrigerator! Foster mom child-proofed the kitchen, so unfortunately my snooping days are over for now.
I am one of the most gentle, affectionate and calm GSPs you will meet! I love to play with my foster brothers and will chase them and wrestle with them, but what I love most is curling up on the couch and snuggling with people or other dogs. A true “velcro-dog.” Johnny has a few more weeks in rescue before adoption. Stay tuned. #segsprescue #velcrodog
💖 Foster Update: Sweet Maggie 💖
Our girl Maggie (5 years old, GA) has come such a long way since being picked up as a stray in early July! After finishing her Doxycycline and receiving her heartworm injections in August, she’s been healing beautifully — up nine pounds and feeling so much stronger! 💪 Maggie’s had a few little bumps along the way (a tummy skin infection and some post-treatment licking that earned her a cute striped bodysuit 🩷), but she’s doing great and on track for her next vet visit on November 6th for her heartworm recheck. At just 40 pounds, this petite powerhouse holds her own with her foster brother Gus (a 2020 SEGSP alum!) — stealing toys, nipping playfully at his heels, and keeping everyone entertained. She’s even learning to respect the cats… mostly. 😅 Now that she’s cleared for activity, Maggie loves being outside and off leash. She comes when called (eventually 😉) and plays beautifully with other dogs. She’s also making huge progress with training — sleeping quietly in her crate at night, settling while her humans eat, and learning better leash manners every day. She’s still working on curbing her nibbles and channeling that GSP energy, but her foster family says she’s smart, affectionate, and eager to please. From stray to shining star — way to go, Maggie! 🌟 #SEGSPRescue #FosterUpdate #GSPLove #HeartwormWarrior #RescueStrong Welcome to SEGSP Rescue Gertie (GA, 8 mo). This pretty gal is finishing up her booster vaccines, and her foster family has been amazed at how sweet and easy she is (for an 8-month-old GSP).
Gertie is black and white roan GSP and she was roaming the streets with her sister Hazel, aka Bandit. Her foster mom Kristen said, “We have the pleasure of fostering her and she is our sweetest and easiest foster ever! She is a pure joy and amazingly chill for her age. She is also a very smart girl and is completely potty trained, knows the commands kennel, sit, shake, and down and we are working on come and off as she does like to counter surf and jump. She walks well on a leash and loves to wrestle and play tug with her foster sister Scout. Everyone in our family just loves her! She’s equal parts fun and affectionate. Oh, and she definitely has the GSP hunting and pointing genes and is keeping a close watch on the chipmunks in our yard!” THANK YOU to Gertie’s temp foster mom Vanessa, and to Kristen and David for fostering Gertie and showing her the ropes and evaluating her temperament. We look forward to more posts and photos… #ga Maisie’s (aka Pepper, SC) Happy Update!
Beautiful 11-month-old Maisie has come such a long way! She was diagnosed with steroid-responsive meningitis/arteritis, but after treatment and lots of love, she’s now doing fantastic! Maisie just had her final neurology consult, and her bloodwork came back negative — the best news we could hope for! Her foster family says she’s an absolute sweetheart who loves to play with her furry siblings, a Lab named Grant and a GSP named Nola. She’s full of that classic puppy energy and goofiness, but she also knows how to relax when it’s time to wind down for dinner or a movie. We’ll be working on her adoption write-up and taking some new photos this weekend — so stay tuned to learn more about this adorable girl! #sc Junie (aka Junie Bug, NC, est 4-6 years old) has come such a looooong way since entering rescue. From being emaciated, sick with heartworms and absolutely terrified, to finally knowing love, safety, and comfort for the first time in her life.
Her foster mom, Michelle, said, “We just love her so much! As a true GSP she’s obsessed with toys and always has to have one in her mouth. She’s done really well learning ‘come’ and she takes her ‘sit ‘and ‘hold’ very seriously as she knows how important it is when posing for pics. I can’t wait to make her an official Parson.” Thanks to her devoted foster mom, Junie is just a couple weeks away from finishing her heartworm treatment and is experiencing GSP heaven with the Parson Posse crew. Can you say “loved”? Oh yeah – this sweet girl is soaking it all in! THANK YOU, MICHELLE! #nc Our Hospice foster, Luke (AL), is having the time of his life with his foster family!
His foster mom Megan said, “We went back to the lake today and our boy made the most of it. We got him a new GPS collar and let him wander around with us, off leash, and he was a dream! He went for another boat ride that included ear flapping and a nap, posed by the water (note, I’m saving a photo for the calendar contest), and met my in-laws' two dogs. The only part he didn’t like was us making him stay on the porch when our daughter tried to ski. He’s a grumpy old man, who barks like a hound dog when he’s alone. Now he’s passed out in the back seat on the way home. I call it a success!” We agree — that’s the perfect way for a pup to end the day: happy, loved, and snoozing after a full day of adventure! #al |
