Owner Surrenders: EVERYONE is going thru hard times right now! When considering to surrender your dog, think very seriously about the consequences for that dog. Think of the trauma it will inflict? Think of a way to keep your dog at all costs, they WILL adapt, as you adapt.
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. We may not always have immediate space to take your dog, you might have to be prepared to hold it for a bit, because shelter dogs come first!! PLEASE, we are not exactly made of money either; have your dog altered, up to date on all vaccines, proof of heartworm status. If you must surrender your dog to WGSPR, we ask for a donation of $50.00. IF you are able to keep your dog, and wish to have it placed on our website & Petfinder for adoption, we ask for a $10– donation prior to advertising. We NETWORK for these dogs! 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. For more information contact: wgsprinfo@yahoo.com |

Our dear rescue friend Patty Goodwin lost her battle with cancer, and Buck’s adoption did not work out. Not only did Buck loose his mom, but he got moved from his house and his pack members! We must help Buck now! Buck is a 7 yr old, 70 lb altered male with hunt potential. Patty wrote this about Buck near her end:
Buck is a very loving, loyal dog. I bottle fed him from birth and he has been very close to me all of his life. He has always lived in the house and has free roam of the house. I do crate him when I leave. Buck would do well in a hunting home with either a male or a couple. Buck would do well in a home with older children, but probably not with small children. Buck needs a 6 ft PHYSICAL fence! If YOU do not have fencing, do not apply! He needs firm commands, but of course positive reinforcement.
We will be selectively seeking the best life for Buck in a permanent, loving home, so he can resume life without his mommy. We are saying NO SMALL DOGS OR CATS, no wild households; Buck prefers a quieter life! You can read more about Buck on this blog spot! Please contact us if you are seeking to adopt a great boy like Buck! |

LUCKY 7’S BRUTUS |

BROTHER! TIGGER |

Owen just celebrated his birthday! He was born 2/15/06. So Owen is now 4 yrs old! He is a bigger male (80+ lbs), who grew up with his kids, who even painted Owen’s toenails! (LOL) Owen is very friendly, loves attention, would sit in your lap if he could! Owen is very familiar with the word “no”. He will sit and lay down on command if he feels like it (LOL). He has a great nose, but was never trained to hunt. Is a convicted bunny and squirrel killer! Former owner thought he maybe a bit gunshy? Owen has lived with a cat. Owen can be a bit aggressive towards other dogs, (but he’s living with one now in foster care!) does bark at strangers! Owen likes to play fetch, and will jump in the air to catch snowballs! He loves to swim, and fetches from the water. Owen will sometimes dig or chew when upset or excited. Is electric fence trained. If you are interested in meeting Owen PLEASE CONTACT US |

FRANCINE came to a WI shelter as an emaciated stray. Francy is about 4 yrs old & quickly getting back into the groove of house living & loving every minute of it! Francy is eager to please, and putting some weight back on, still eats fast, we are trying a special bowl... She warms up to new dogs at her own pace. Francy likes to crawl on the couch and nap with her foster family. She is doing good with potty signals. Is crate trained. We are unsure how she is with cats. Was tested with and LOVES KIDS! Loves peanut butter on a spoon and is Kong obsessed! Responds well to people; happy to greet when strangers come in the house! Francy has a nice disposition, has been seen on point...hmmm If you are interested in adopting Francy, please contact us! |

Fritz is a 18 month old Pointer mix. He is very smart, loyal (not a runner), loves to fetch, and is very willing to please. He is great with kids and will be a wonderful family and companion dog. He is crate trained and sleeps on a dog bed at night. Would be great with electric fencing! He just loves jumping the fence; but this is being corrected with the e-collar and is coming along well. Fritz is being introduced to a pack for the first time, and is working through possession, and proximity issues with other dogs. His trainability and willingness to please are great assets and he is learning to get along very well. He tends to be clingy at first, but he is learning to trust and relax. Fritz would be a wonderful addition to anyone's family. |

BELLA came from that Adams Co seizure back in November (link to news story above). We got three little ones, that are probably mixes, but their tails are docked and they are cute, very small, 7 month old puppies. We don’t think they will get a lot larger then what they are, due to malnutrition. All the pups vet work is complete. Bella is a busy, adventurous girl, loves to follow you around, and be right there, see what your doing. She plays rough and hard with other dogs, LOVES KIDS! Has no food or treat issues, needs basic manners, is potty and crate trained. Will remain a smaller dog due to poor start in life. Nice lap dog! tehe

BRUTUS is the only male of the famous North Carolina’s Lucky Seven! You can read their story here! Brutus is now 3 yrs old, and unfortunately his adopter really didn’t have that much time for Brutus training, or exercise. So he’s with one of our trainers now! Brutus is crate trained, is great with kids of any age, is fine with cats and other dogs. If you can keep Brutus entertained, contact us to adopt! Brutus is interested in bird & his other siblings ARE hunters. hmmmm Brutus is an awesome companion, sound disposition! ; |

My name is Tigger and I'll let you in on a little secret.....sshhh....its important...I'm not a German Shepherd....I'm a German Shorthair Pointer by birth! But my cousins at German Shepherd rescue could not resist helping me out in my search for a forever home! I am almost seven months old now, weigh in at about 30 lbs and I love other dogs. I am still a puppy and play too roughly for children under the age of ten. I won't be a large dog physically, as I will probably top out at 45 to 50 lbs, but I am very friendly, energetic and love to snuggle! As my name implies, I do 'bounce' around the house and would be a good candidate if you like agility, frisbee, etc. I am neutered and up to date on my shots for my age group. I am about the size of a beagle height wise and I have a great BIG personality! I will require a fenced in yard and one obedience class. So to quote that 'other' famous Tigger. . .....The wonderful thing about Tiggers.....Is Tiggers are wonderful chaps.....They're loaded with vim and vigor.....They love to leap in your laps.....They're jumpy, bumpy, clumpy, thumpy.....Fun, fun, fun, fun, fun.....But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers is.....I'm the only one.....Tiggers are cuddly fellows.....Tiggers are awfully sweet.....Everyone else is jealous..... That's why I repeat.....The wonderful thing about Tiggers.....Is Tiggers are wonderful things..... So if you think I am a wonderful thing (like my foster mom does) and believe you could be my forever home, please contact ARFs and I'll bounce along to meet you! |
