Stanley (TN)

​Stanley is a handsome 5–6-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer weighing about 56 pounds. He’s the perfect blend of goofy, affectionate, and adventurous — a dog who truly loves life and embraces every moment. With his easygoing, playful personality, Stanley is happiest when he’s out exploring, whether that means running around the park, going for walks or jogs, or visiting with the neighbors. After a full day of fun, he’s just as content to settle in for some quiet cuddle time. 

Stanley gets along wonderfully with other dogs and would love a canine companion to romp and play with, though he doesn’t appreciate being dominated by other males. He does, however, have a strong prey drive and loves to chase cats, so he would not be a good fit for a home with feline residents. He has been excellent with children and enjoys being part of a family environment. 

This smart boy is fully house-trained — no accidents, no chewing, and no destructive habits. While he doesn’t know his basic commands yet, he is tone-trained for healing and recall. Like most GSPs, Stanley thrives with structure, activity, and companionship. He’ll do best with a family who understands the needs of an active sporting breed and can offer plenty of exercise, training, and love. 

Stanley is generally confident, but he can be sensitive to loud noises such as fireworks or thunderstorms. During those moments, he finds comfort in sitting close to his people — it’s his safe space until things quiet down. 

He is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. His adoption fee is $375. Stanley is ready to find his forever family — one that will appreciate his fun-loving spirit, gentle nature, and loyal heart. 

If you’re looking for a playful, devoted adventure buddy who will make you smile every day, Stanley might be your perfect match. Please complete an Adoption Application (or let the foster know you already have one on file) and email his foster mom, Danielle, at [email protected].
