We provide a second chance for German Shorthaired Pointers (GSPs) who have been abandoned, neglected, abused, surrendered or otherwise displaced and adopt them into permanent, loving homes that will nurture and appreciate their energetic, affectionate and loyal personalities.
1. (optional) You can contact us by email letting us know you are interested in adopting one of our dogs. 2. Carefully read the information under ADOPTING a GSP 3. You will need to fill out our online Adoption Application. Please be thorough in your answers. One-word responses or questions left blank will have low priority. 4. You will receive a response within 5 days that we have received your application. If you do not hear from us, please send us an email to confirm that we did, in fact, receive your application. 5. The rescue reads applications carefully. We call those applicants who appear to have all of the requirements that are shown in the bullet list under ADOPTION PROCESS. 6. If you are interested in a specific dog, please read his/her bio carefully so you fully understand that pup’s personality and needs. The rescue will contact you to answer any questions you may have and to give you additional details about the dog(s) you are interested in. 7. Once the rescue has determined that your home and lifestyle could be a good fit for the dog(s) you are interested in, we will arrange a visit to your home to meet you and your family, including any dog(s) you currently own. If the home visit is successful, it is time to meet the dog(s)! 8. When you have had the chance to meet a dog(s) you are interested in, you and the rescue will discuss whether or not an adoption would be good for both the dog and you. An adoption can take place when you and the rescue agree that this would be a great match for both of you! Preference for adoption will be given to Colorado families. If we have difficulty finding a suitable in-state owner or family, we will pursue appropriate applications from contiguous states. Please know that we are looking for the very best matches for our dogs. Often there are several homes that might be suitable and would provide a good, loving home for a GSP. We are, however, looking for the best of the best possible matches for our pups. We know our dogs who are in foster homes very well; we know what they need and what makes happy home environments for them. That’s our job. And surrendering owners certainly know what is best for their dogs. Finding that ideal home for each dog involves numerous phone interviews, home visits and frequent communication with the foster parent or current owner and prospective adopters. Making the right adoption decisions is the reason we exist. Each of our dogs deserves the very best home we can find for him or her. Most of our dogs are living either in foster homes or in their surrendering homes until a permanent home is found for them. If all goes well with the home visit your family, including children and pets, will meet the dog(s) you’re interested in to see if you are a good match. There is an adoption donation associated with adopting one of our dogs. We incur a number of expenses while our rescued dogs are in transition. Some of these expenses include food, transportation and medical care. All dogs adopted through Mile High GSP Rescue will have been spayed or neutered, heartworm tested, will be up-to-date on vaccinations and will come with a leash and collar.
