5. Is a German Shorthaired Pointer Right for You?
   

We have many German Shorthaired Pointers available. To meet, adopt or get more information about a dog, please fill out an application form and review our adoption process.

Thank you for your interest in adopting a GSP!  Your application will be reviewed upon receipt and you should receive an email from us acknowledging receipt within 24 hours.   Your approval involves a check of your vet and personal references and a home visit.  Depending upon your availability and the availability of a local volunteer for the home visit, full approval typically takes approximately 7 days. You will not be put in touch with the foster home for any dogs of interest until you are fully approved. 

As we are a volunteer organization, we appreciate your patience and support.  We understand that you may be working with other rescues or shelters in your search for the perfect pet.  Please be aware that we are approving other applicants that may be interested in the same dog.  Our policy is that the first approved applicant to meet the dog, can adopt that dog.  We do not hold dogs for any applicant.

Please be aware that the responses to your emails are sent by volunteers, the person checking your references is a volunteer, the person coming to your home for a visit is a volunteer and the foster home that responds to your questions and makes time for you to meet the dog is a volunteer.  Should you decide not to adopt from our Rescue, please consider making a small donation in appreciation of the time our volunteers spent working with you.  

Thank you! We look forward to receiving your application!

Minimum Adoption Donation Amounts:

$150 for a Senior GSP, 8 years of age and above

$250 for a GSP over 1 year of age and under 8

$300 for a GSP under 1 year of age

These minimum adoption donations are non-negotiable.  Each dog adopted will be spayed or neutered and up to date on shots.  Each dog will be tested for heartworms and undergo treatment if necessary.  We strive to microchip each dog, but that is not always possible prior to adoption.  The minimum adoption donation amount allows us to cover these vet costs for all the dogs in our care.
