Story
Mabel is a 5.5-year-old spayed female German Shorthaired Pointer who weighs about 50 lbs. She is affectionate, observant, and settling beautifully into foster care. While she can be a little cautious in new situations at first, she quickly shows her sweet and snuggly personality once she feels comfortable. Since arriving in foster care, Mabel has been calm, well behaved, and very affectionate. She especially enjoys curling up next to people on the couch and being close to her humans. Her foster family describes her as a “snuggle bug” who has mostly spent her first few days quietly taking everything in. Mabel currently lives with another adult GSP and a young puppy. She has shown appropriate communication with the puppy when overwhelmed and is already becoming more tolerant as she settles in. Overall, she has a history of doing well with other dogs and has been described as more submissive and playful in social settings.  She is crate trained and will voluntarily go into her kennel when she wants a quiet space, though she has also done very well free roaming overnight. She has not been destructive in the home and has shown good house manners overall. Mabel does pull somewhat on leash but has not shown tendencies to bolt through doors or try to escape. Mabel knows several commands including sit, wait, fetch, turn, and drop it. She enjoys being part of the family and would thrive in a home where she gets plenty of companionship and affection.  Like many dogs adjusting to major life changes, Mabel has experienced some mild stress related to transitions, including decreased appetite and some shakiness when separated, but she has already shown improvement after just a few days in foster care. Her foster family reports that she continues gaining confidence daily. Mabel can be vocal when she notices activity outside or when visitors arrive, but she has been polite when greeting guests and enjoys meeting new people. She appears to adjust fairly quickly and has all the makings of a loyal, loving family companion. If you are interested in giving Mabel a forever home, please 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.May 28, 2026, 11:34 am

Story
Lexie is a 5-year-old spayed female German Shorthaired Pointer who weighs about 55 lbs. She is affectionate, playful, and full of classic GSP personality. Her foster family describes her as a sweet girl who loves being close to her people and has quickly made herself comfortable in the home, including sleeping under the covers “like a proper GSP.” Lexie loves kids and has happily soaked up attention and snuggles from visiting teenagers in foster care. She forms strong attachments to her people and prefers to stay close by wherever they are going. She is an active, bird obsessed pointer who thoroughly enjoys patrolling the backyard and chasing birds. Her foster family has already started working on long line training and helping her learn how to relax and settle instead of constantly being “on duty.” She is smart, engaged, and very much enjoys having something to do. Lexie currently lives with other GSPs in foster care. She can be somewhat cautious about other dogs getting too close initially and is still adjusting to new canine relationships, but she is already making progress and becoming more comfortable. Historically, she has done well with dogs in neutral settings like dog parks. Her foster family is continuing to work on confidence building and positive interactions. She has also shown some mild resource guarding behaviors toward the adult woman in the foster home. At this point, it has not been severe, and her foster family has already begun actively working on it. Lexie will likely do best with adopters who understand dog body language and are comfortable continuing structure and training as she settles into a new environment. Lexie is crate trained and accustomed to being kenneled overnight and during away times. Like many dogs experiencing major transitions, she initially showed some mild stress related to separation and change, including shakiness and loose stools, but this improved after only a few days. She knows several commands, including sit, wait, fetch, and drop it. She can be a little mischievous at times and has discovered that counters and tables occasionally contain treasures worth investigating. Overall, Lexie is a loving, energetic dog who wants to be included as part of the family and will thrive with people who appreciate the fun, loyal, and sometimes goofy nature of the breed. If she sounds like a good fit for your 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.May 28, 2026, 11:34 am

Story
Bo is an 8-year-old neutered male German Shorthaired Pointer weighing around 50 pounds. He is a friendly, affectionate guy who has settled quickly into foster care and clearly enjoys being part of the family. Bo is social, easygoing, and happiest when he is included in everyday life. He enjoys exploring outdoors, lounging near his people, and will absolutely try to convince you he is a lap dog despite his size. His foster describes him as affectionate without being overly clingy. He likes attention, enjoys snuggling, and has done well adapting to new environments. He currently lives with multiple dogs of varying sizes and has done well with all of them. He has also been around cats, rabbits, and young children with no concerns reported. Overall, Bo has shown himself to be a well rounded, friendly dog with a stable temperament. Bo is house trained and kennel trained. He sleeps comfortably in a kennel at night and has handled time alone appropriately in foster care. He knows basic commands, responds well to structure and routine, and has previous bird and shed hunting experience. Like many GSPs, he would benefit from continued consistency and ongoing work with recall and obedience. Bo’s Highlights • 8 years old • Neutered male • Approximately 50 lbs • AKC registered German Shorthaired Pointer • Friendly with dogs, cats, rabbits, and children • House trained • Kennel trained • Affectionate and social • No separation anxiety reported • No bite history Bo would do best with a family that wants an active companion and understands the GSP breed’s need for engagement, structure, and exercise. He still has plenty of energy left and a lot of love to give.

Story
Sid is a confident, happy-go-lucky puppy who wants to be part of everything you’re doing. More outgoing than his brother, this curious little guy is always checking in, exploring, and making sure his people—especially his tiny human foster sister—are doing just fine. He’s wonderful with kids, including a 1-year-old, offering gentle kisses and knowing when to move on. If she makes a sound, Sid is the first one there to investigate like the good little guardian he is. Sid loves toys and is often proudly carrying around a ball or his latest treasure. He’s playful, active, and full of puppy energy—but just as happy to crash for a well-earned nap after a good play session. He gets along great with other dogs and does an excellent job reading their cues, knowing when to engage and when to give space (though he definitely prefers when they choose to play!). He’s doing fantastic with housetraining, consistently going potty outside and even using puppy pads as he continues learning. Sid is smart, eager, and already showing how quickly he picks things up. He follows his foster mom everywhere, making him the ultimate little companion for someone who wants a loyal “shadow dog” with a fun, playful side. With his constantly wagging tail, affectionate personality, and natural confidence, Sid is going to make an incredible addition to just about any loving home. ✨ Three Things You Must Know About Sid: He’s great with kids, gentle, attentive, and naturally nurturing. He’s social and smart, doing well with dogs and excelling in housetraining. Sid would be happiest with a fenced yard to safely romp in as he grows. Meet the Lucky Litter—a group of adorable, happy-go-lucky pups who are getting ready to find their forever homes! These little charmers are being raised in loving foster homes where they’re busy learning all the important puppy basics—like playing nicely, exploring the world, and discovering just how great humans can be. Like all puppies, they are full of curiosity, personality, and just the right amount of mischief. They’re learning about toys, routines, and how to be the best companions, and each one is already starting to show their own unique quirks and favorites. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or snack time, these pups are all in. They will be ready for adoption once they’ve been spayed/neutered, and their foster families are working hard to make sure they’re set up for success. Their future families should be ready for all things puppy—training, patience, laughter, and lots of love. If you’re looking to add a little luck (and a lot of joy) to your life, one of these pups might be your perfect match. Sid is a male English Pointer/All-American Rescue mix (our best guess of breed) who was was born approximately 2-6-26. He is neutered, age-appropriate vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, given flea/tick/heartworm preventative. Adoption fee is $575 to help offset the many expenses we have for vetting costs. We rely strictly on adoption fees and donations to continue to save the lives of orphaned & abandoned pets; 100% goes towards their care. ***If you are serious about adopting, you must first complete and submit an application on our website. Our Adoption Team will respond via email from DollysLegacyAdoptions@gmail.com once you have completed an application. If a pet is still listed, it is not yet adopted as we update daily.
