WI GSP Rescue About Us

About Us

Welcome to WGSPR, and the WONDERFUL WORLD OF SHORTHAIRS! We are a 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to saving purebred German Shorthaired Pointers in Wisconsin. Our first priority are to GSP’s in kill shelters or other danger of euthanization.

All of our charges are fostered in our homes, where we can test them with every day activities, other dogs, children, cats (when available), etc. All of our dogs available for adoption are fully vetted, altered, up-to-date on shots, heartworm free, and microchipped for ease of id!

Although GSP’s were bred to be bird hunters, we cannot promise you that any of our dogs will hunt. We do test each dog for his or her capabilities with professional trainers. If they do hunt, it’s a bonus for you!

We do offer training assistance for all our adopters. We save shorthairs, because it’s OUR PASSION!

You can also find us on: PETFINDER!

Owner Surrenders: While it is this rescue's first priority to purebred GSPs in shelters, whose days are numbered and fate is inevitable; WGSPR will do it's best to help owner surrenders re-home their GSPs as we can. If your dog is altered, up to date on all vaccines, for a donation to WGSPR your dog will be placed on our website, and Petfinder for adoption. All potential adopters will be screened prior to meeting with your dog. Your dog will be processed thru WGSPR for adoption, and adopter will sign our standard adoption contract to protect your dog's best interest for the rest of his life. We have a life time return policy. We want our dog back! For more information contact: wgsprinfo@yahoo.com
