Story
Tucker is settling into foster care and already making himself right at home. This 7-year-old German Shorthair Pointer is a 64-pound sweetheart with a gentle personality and a soft spot for human attention. Tucker is neutered, house trained, and used to living as an indoor dog. He’s described as a very sweet boy who loves to cuddle and be close to his people. He may greet you with some excitement at first, but that quickly turns into affection and loyalty. He’s even been known to “sing” a little, which just adds to his charm. He has lived with other dogs and done well, though we always recommend proper introductions. He hasn’t been around cats, so that’s an unknown. With kids, Tucker does great—he just may need a moment to settle from his initial excitement. Tucker doesn’t have a hunting background and is simply looking for a home where he can be a companion. If you’re looking for a laid-back, affectionate dog who enjoys both snuggles and a little personality, Tucker is your guy. Tucker is being fostered in Waterloo, Iowa. If you are interested in giving him a forever home, complete the adoption form here: ADOPT ME *Please be sure to read the adoption information page on our website before applying for a dog. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 24, 2026, 1:18 pm

Story
Odin is a 55 pound neutered male German Shorthaired Pointer who will turn 8 years old in May. He is a healthy, affectionate dog with the playful and loving personality the breed is known for. Odin just arrived in foster care and is currently settling into his new environment. As he decompresses, we will continue learning more about him and updating his profile. About Odin Odin is a very people oriented dog who loves being part of the household. He forms strong bonds with his humans and prefers to be wherever his people are. Like many German Shorthaired Pointers, he has a playful, energetic personality and enjoys opportunities to run, play fetch, and stay active. He also has a softer side. Odin loves to cuddle and burrow under blankets, and his previous family says he will happily curl up in your arms and sleep like a baby. He knows basic commands such as sit and responds well when engaged, especially during play. One of his funny habits is spinning in circles when he gets excited, particularly when he knows it is time to go outside.   Health and Training Odin is extremely healthy with no known medical issues. He is house trained and previously had free roam of the home during the day without problems. Earlier in life he was crate trained and treated his crate as a safe space, although he has not used one regularly for several years. He knows basic commands such as sit and responds well when engaged, especially during play.   Other Dogs Odin has previously lived with other dogs and generally focused more on his people or playing fetch than interacting with them. He does prefer to eat separately from other dogs, as he can be protective of his food if another dog approaches while he is eating. Because Odin has just arrived in foster care, we are still learning more about how he does with other dogs in a home environment and will update his profile as we learn more.   Children Odin has done well with children and has not shown aggression. Because he is an energetic dog, he can occasionally get a little excitable during play, but this comes from enthusiasm rather than negative behavior.   Thunderstorms and Fireworks Like many dogs, Odin does not enjoy loud noises such as fireworks or thunder and may look for a quiet place to hide during storms.   The Right Home for Odin Odin would do best in a home that: • Understands the energy and needs of the German Shorthaired Pointer breed • Can provide regular exercise and activity • Enjoys a dog who is affectionate and people focused • Is willing to help him settle into a new routine Odin is a loyal, goofy, affectionate companion who loves being close to his people and involved in daily life.   Interested in Odin? If you are interested in giving Odin a permanent home, please complete our adoption application.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 14, 2026, 8:29 pm

Story
Meet Jojo: 4 Years Old, 0 Chill, 100% Good Boy Energy   Looking for a calm, low-energy couch potato? …keep scrolling.   Looking for a dog who wakes up every day like it’s the best day of his life and you’re his favorite human ever? HI. IT’S JOJO.   Jojo is 4 years old but operating on strong “puppy who just discovered espresso” energy. This boy is built for action—runs, hikes, adventures—and just when you think he might be getting tired, he’s like, “Cool, what’s next?”   Leash walking? He’s got it… eventually.   The first few minutes are what we like to call “interpretive chaos,” but once he gets the zoomies out, he settles in and walks like a gentleman(ish).   Jojo is a certified Bird Enthusiast. Not just casual interest—we’re talking full-on nature documentary intensity. He points. He honors other dogs’ points. Honestly, he might be part bird dog, part detective.   He’s also incredibly smart (doggy door? mastered instantly), very curious, and always wants to know what’s going on. If there’s something happening, Jojo would like to be involved. Preferably in the center of it.   Now let’s talk about love—because Jojo is a stage 5 clinger in the best way.   He LOVES to snuggle. He LOVES to be pet. He will gently (or not-so-gently) remind you to continue petting him at all times. Personal space? Never heard of it.   Playtime with other dogs is… enthusiastic. Think WWE Raw, but fluffier. He has a blast but sometimes gets a little too hyped and needs a quick “okay buddy, intermission!” from his human.   Also important: Jojo is VERY passionate about food. Meals are serious business. Because of that, he prefers dining solo—no sharing plates here.   Jojo’s dream home: Active humans who won’t be outpaced (good luck ) No cats or small critters (the birds have already captured his heart) A dog-savvy home that appreciates his… big personality Someone who wants a best friend, shadow, workout buddy, and professional snuggler all in one   Jojo is goofy, loving, smart, and just the right amount of chaos. If you’re ready to laugh daily, move a lot, and be aggressively loved—he’s your guy.   If you are interested in giving him a permanent home, please complete our adoption application.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 24, 2026, 1:18 pm

Story
Arrow has arrived and is settling nicely into foster care. We estimate he is around 10 years old, and he has already proven himself to be a devoted, affectionate companion. Arrow loves spending time with his humans and soaking up attention. He is not much of a jumper, but if you are sitting nearby there is a very good chance he will lean right into you for pets. And if you stop before he thinks the job is done, he will politely remind you with a nudge or a gentle paw. He is a fairly quiet boy. His foster family says he rarely barks. When he is in his kennel he may softly “sing the song of his people” for a bit, but he usually settles down fairly quickly. Like many pointers, Arrow is very enthusiastic about food. Meals and treats are a highlight of his day, and his foster mom says he definitely gets a little “jiggy with it” when he sees food coming his way. If you are looking for a companion who enjoys relaxing by your side, keeping you company around the house, and riding along as your car buddy, Arrow may be your guy. Arrow came to us with a reported history of seizures. Since arriving, we have completed an extensive veterinary evaluation and diagnostic testing to look for underlying causes. So far, his results have been very encouraging and nothing concerning has been identified. At this point, his veterinary team suspects the previous seizure activity may have been an isolated event, and we will continue to monitor him while he settles in, gains some much needed groceries, and enjoys life in foster care. Stay tuned for more updates about this loving boy as we continue to learn more about him.   Arrow is being fostered near Red Oak, Iowa.

Story
Update: We received Brooke's biopsy results, and the masses removed were mast cell tumors. The good news is they are non-aggressive, giving her an overall positive outlook. Brook is continuing to recover from surgery and is doing well. She is comfortable, soaking up attention, and getting exactly the care she needs. We also have a happy next chapter to share. Once she has fully healed, Brook will be adopted by her foster home. Thank you to everyone who followed her story and supported her along the way. This is what your support makes possible.  ___________________________________________________________ Update: After coming into GPPR, Brook completed her vetting and the findings were significant. She had a severe uterine infection along with numerous polyps. During surgery, she was spayed and four masses were removed. Two of those masses were concerning and have been sent out for biopsy, and we are currently waiting on results. She is recovering well so far and, true to form, is affectionate, loves attention, and wants to stay close to her people. We wanted to share this because many of you followed her story and asked what happened next. This is part of rescue that isn’t always visible. Some dogs need more than a quick turnaround. They need medical care, time, and consistency, and that is exactly where your support goes. We will continue to share updates as we learn more. For now, she is safe, she is recovering, and she is being well cared for.  ___________________________________________________________   Brooke is new to Great Plains Pointer Rescue and is settling in while she finishes her vetting. She will be ready to meet her forever family soon. So far, Brooke has shown that she is great with other dogs and does well with children. She is affectionate, loves attention, and wants to be close to her people. She does have some athletic ability and has shown interest in jumping a fence, so she will need a secure six foot fence, invisible fencing, or a structured exercise plan to keep her safely contained and fulfilled.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 24, 2026, 1:18 pm
