SEGSP Rescue Dogs Ready for Adoption
Meet Zoey, our spirited rescue puppy! This energetic girl has a high prey drive, always on the lookout for squirrels, rabbits, and birds. She's a bundle of energy who loves playing with children (over the age of six) and other dogs, making her an excellent addition to any family and other canine companions. Zoey hasn't been around cats yet, so her reaction to them is unknown.
Zoey has been mastering basic commands like "sit" and "stay," and she gets especially excited at mealtimes, spinning and sitting eagerly for dinner. She's been playing regularly with a 3-year-old GSP and gets along great with our senior Lab and the neighbor's small dogs, who she greets through the fence daily. She adores chewing on bones, sticks, and tennis balls, and her intelligence shines through in everything she does. We're still working on her counter-surfing habits, which mostly happen when she's chasing a housefly, but she's making great progress. Zoey is incredibly sweet and embodies the typical GSP traits, ready to bring joy and excitement to her forever home. She will need a family who is active and can continue her puppy training. I am a happy, healthy girl who is UTD on vaccines, spayed and microchipped so my adoption fee is $375 If you haven’t already, please go to our website and fill out an adoption application and then email my foster mom Amy at [email protected] Foster Chloe (NC) has had a shady past, but her golden years are bright. This active senior is pure joy. We’ve learned she’s likely 13 years old, and although she enjoys a good nap (and who doesn’t?), she has a zest for life that will make you smile every day.
With a full tail she’s not afraid to use, Chloe is always wagging it happily, thumping it loudly when she gets excited. She loves to go for walks and she’s an excellent passenger in the car, sitting quietly in her seat (until she spots something of interest and barks). She’s gained some healthy weight and is playful, quirky, and strong. She politely sits and gives a dainty paw for treats. She loves stuffies and squeakies and balls and will drop anything at your feet and step back, not-so-subtlety hinting so you’ll toss it for her. She’s a bit of talker too, grumbling and mumbling as she gets comfy. She will wait patiently in her kennel while meals are prepared and has no problem eating with the door closed. Latching the door is a different story; Chloe has separation anxiety and does not like to be left alone. She broke out of her crate (how is still a mystery) but doesn’t destroy anything - just barks until you come back. She’s a bit reactive to the other dogs we pass by, and though she likes to appear tough, she’s just a little old lady doing her best to save us from potential danger. With proper introductions, she’s been fine with the other dogs we’ve met. We had one small squabble over a highly desirable toy…because, you know, it was the only toy in the house... Her hearing is ‘selective,’ and I think she works her senior status to her advantage. It’s hard not to laugh when she looks directly at you…then walks away pretending not to have heard a word. She naps hard and doesn’t always hear you approach. She does usually need a potty break in the middle of the night, but she’s quick and comes right back inside and settles back to sleep. She loves to walk and we’re using the gentle leader to work on her pulling, but I’ve realized she likes to have something to carry in her mouth. I usually bring a ball or a toy, but she’s happy to pick something up along the way…a shell, a stick, a crab, and much to their chagrin, an unsuspecting frog or two. She has a prey drive for lizards and birds, a blowing leaf, sea foam, and the aforementioned frogs that haven’t learned but she’s made peace with the resident cat, even if she gives her a little chase every now and then. Sweet Chloe would be a wonderful companion to someone who can offer her a routine, lots of love, and all the comfort she deserves. She’s surely not as active as she once was - but don’t tell her that! Who’s going to be lucky enough to keep up with this senior gal? Chloe is UTD on vaccines, spayed and microchipped so her adoption fee is $187. If interested in Chloe, please email her foster mom Jackie at [email protected] and fill out an adoption application. Hello Dear Readers,
My name is Handsome, oh wait I’m not supposed to say that because that’s only what my foster mom Vicki calls me. She’s currently being a helicopter parent and watching me type. My given name is Gus but you can call me handsome, GusGus, Bubba Gump or my favorite Linus because I love to carry my blankies everywhere with me. I’m a Liver neutered male German Shorthair Pointer, 8 years old, no medical issues aside from some arthritis brought on early by the rough life I lived. I’m an easy boy to have around the house, I have good manners, I’m house broken, I don’t chew things and I don’t counter surf. I have no anxiety, I’m kennel trained and I’m free range in the house and will just sleep till you get back home. I love to carry things in my mouth, when it’s not my blanket it’s a stuffy. I don’t chew them I just cherish them. I like playing fetch outside or just sniffing all the wonderful smells that this country foster life has introduced me to. I’m an older guy and a little set in my ways and after the hard life I lived I would like to enjoy the rest of it in a home with just humans and no dogs, cats or children. I do well with my foster dogs but mom says she can still see some anxiety and that’s not fair to me to live a life always worried. Don’t judge I bet there are situations that make you uncomfortable as well. I’m good on walks and hikes and passing other dogs I just don’t like dogs in my face or bothering me because well I’m a loner and proud of it. I love back scratches, belly rubs, snackies, and being told what a handsome boy I am. I let my foster mom trim my nails, bathe me, brush me, clean my ears and my teeth with zero fuss. I love car rides and just hanging out with my human on the front porch sipping ice tea, well water for me! If you think I would make a great fit for you please reach out to my Foster Mom Vicki at [email protected] for more information and fill out an Adoption Application, if you haven't already. Thanks again for reading and considering me as your new furbaby. |
