Story
Weston is a good, sweet boy who loves everyone. My son took him from someone who was planning to dump him. Unfortunately, my son works long hours and Weston has been left alone in the apartment for long periods of time. This is not a good life for a puppy at all. There have been problems with neighbors and apartment management and he can no longer live with my son. He's an active, 7-8 month old with lots of energy. He has been around other dogs and lived with a cat. The cat was not a fan, Weston just wanted to be friends and play together. The cat wouldbswipe at hime an Wes would back off. Wes just wants to love everyone. I have taken food, treats and toys away from him and he has never shown any aggression at all I really want to find Weston a home where he can have a good life. He would be great for someone who has the time to invest. He's loving, friendly and playful. But he is not very trained. He will need plenty of exercise and attention -- just like most dogs.

Story
Meet Duke and Sassy, a bonded pair of 3-year-old German Shorthaired Pointers looking for a foster home together. These littermates have spent their lives together and are very attached to one another. They are affectionate, playful, and enjoy having room to run. They were raised as hunting dogs and have experience in the field, making them a great match for someone who appreciates the breed's natural instincts and energy. Duke and Sassy are good with children and have done well around dogs their own size. They have not been tested with small dogs and are known to bark at cats. They know several commands, including sit, wait, inside, go, and find it. They have primarily lived in outdoor kennels, so they will need help adjusting to life as indoor family dogs, including house training. Because they are bonded, they must remain together. Their owner is no longer able to care for them, and we hope to find a foster home that can give them the attention, exercise, and stability they deserve while they wait for their forever home.   If you can open your home to Duke and Sassy, we'd love to hear from you. If interested in adopting, please complete our adoption application. If potentially interested in fostering Duke and Sassy, please complete our foster application.      *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.July 17, 2026, 6:09 pm

Story
Eris (pronounced Air-iss) is an approximately 4-year-old spayed female German Shorthaired Pointer who currently weighs 42 pounds. After being found as a stray, Eris spent about two months in a shelter before joining GPPR. During that time, she lost about 6 pounds, and we're working to help her regain a healthy weight. She's now settling into foster care and learning what life as a beloved family member is all about. Every day, she's becoming more comfortable and showing off her affectionate, fun-loving personality. Personality Eris absolutely loves people and wants to be wherever you are. Whether you're working in the yard, going for a walk, or relaxing outside, she'll happily tag along as your shadow. She has an incredible zest for life and is always ready for the next adventure. Eris is an energetic girl who thrives on activity and engagement. Once she's had plenty of exercise, she begins to settle, but she is not the type of dog who is content to lounge around all day. She is learning basic household manners and has already started responding to commands like off, down, and no. She'll need a family that is committed to continuing her training with patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement.   Other Dogs Eris enjoys other dogs and loves to play. Because of her enthusiasm, she may be overwhelming for lower energy dogs at first, but she's learning appropriate play with her foster brother through supervised interactions. Around the House Since Eris came into rescue as a stray, many everyday routines are still new to her. She is making steady progress with her house training through frequent trips outside and lots of praise. She's also learning that her crate is a safe place. She may whine for a few minutes when first crated but is becoming more comfortable as she adjusts to her routine. One thing we've learned is that Eris is not a fan of fireworks or other loud noises. During fireworks, she prefers the comfort and security of being indoors with her people.   The Ideal Home Eris is looking for an active family that understands the needs of a German Shorthaired Pointer. She'll do best with people who can provide plenty of daily exercise, mental stimulation, and continued training to help her become the best version of herself. She has already shown that she is affectionate, eager to learn, and devoted to her people. With structure, consistency, and an outlet for her abundant energy, Eris has all the potential to become an incredible companion.   If you're ready for an energetic adventure partner and are willing to invest the time to help her continue learning, Eris is ready to meet you.

Story
  Lexie is affectionate, loyal, and happiest when she can be close to her people. If you're looking for a dog that wants to be part of everything you do, Lexie may be your perfect match. Lexie loves kids and forms strong bonds with her family. She can be a little cautious when meeting new people, preferring to observe and assess the situation before jumping in. Give her a little time, though, and her sweet personality begins to shine through. Once you're in her circle, she wants to be wherever you are. Whether you're watching television, working from home, heading out for an adventure, or simply relaxing on the couch, Lexie is happiest when she can tag along. She is the kind of dog who thrives on companionship and being included in everyday life. Like any self respecting GSP, Lexie is fascinated by birds and loves patrolling the backyard. She enjoys running around the yard and keeping an eye on everything happening outdoors. While she happily joins other dogs for a lap around the yard, she is much more interested in spending time with her people than playing with canine companions. In fact, Lexie would secretly love to be the center of someone's world. She would be happiest as an only dog where she can soak up all the attention and affection for herself. That said, she can successfully coexist with a calm, respectful, easy-going dog. Lexie can be a little possessive of her favorite people, so she will do best with adopters who are comfortable setting clear boundaries and reminding her that sharing is part of being a good family member. Lexie is crate trained and knows several commands, including sit, wait, fetch, and drop it. She is smart, eager to be involved, and always ready to accompany her favorite people on their next adventure. She can also be a little mischievous at times and has discovered that counters and tables occasionally contain treasures worth investigating. If you're looking for a devoted companion who will follow you from room to room, keep you company throughout the day, and happily snuggle up beside you at night, Lexie is ready to meet you.

Story
If you've ever dreamed of having your own fetch partner, this puppy is ready to apply for the position. This active, playful pup is happiest when he has something to do, whether that's chasing a ball, exploring the backyard, supervising neighborhood activities from the deck, or finding the perfect stick to carry around. He's curious about the world and loves being part of whatever is happening. Fetch is quickly becoming one of his favorite games, and he's always ready for another round. When he's not busy retrieving tennis balls, you'll often find him chewing on a toy, a stick, or a log as he works his way through the teething stage of puppyhood. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and peacefully ignores cats. While he hasn't been tested with children yet, he has shown himself to be a friendly, social puppy who enjoys making new friends. This smart boy is currently working on house training and kennel training. He's learning that his kennel is a pretty great place, especially when treats are involved, and he's making steady progress with his puppy manners. Like any young dog, he'll need continued guidance, consistency, and plenty of opportunities to burn off energy. In return, you'll get a playful companion who's always ready for the next adventure. I’m a busy puppy who loves to explore! A home with a fenced yard is best for me so we can focus on my training in a quiet, controlled space before I'm ready to tackle the big, busy world on neighborhood leash walks. Whether it's a game of fetch, a backyard exploration mission, or simply hanging out with his people, this pup is all in. Fox is an English Pointer/Retriever mix who was was born approximately 2-6-26. He is neutered, age-appropriate vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed and given a 3-month dose flea/tick preventation. 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.

Story
This affectionate, playful boy is happiest when he's surrounded by friends—whether that's wrestling with his sister in the yard, playing with the resident dog, or hanging out with his favorite humans. Fonzie has never met a stranger and approaches life with a friendly, easygoing attitude that makes him a joy to have around. When the excitement winds down, Fonzie is just as happy relaxing in the shade next to his foster mom, chewing on a favorite toy, or curling up beside his person for a nap. He loves being part of the family and likes to keep his humans close. He gets along wonderfully with dogs, cats, and everyone he's met so far. He especially adores his human toddler foster sister and has already been learning how to be gentle around children. He's a smart pup who is picking up new skills quickly and already knows commands like "sit" and "kennel" (especially when treats are involved). He is currently crate trained and working on house training. Like any young puppy, he'll need continued guidance and consistency as he learns the ropes, but he's eager to please and loves learning. Fonzie is the kind of dog who can spend the afternoon wrestling in the yard and the evening curled up right beside you. He LOVES his puppy pool and would relish in a home where he can have one in the back yard, along with a fence to keep his playtime safe. Cool, friendly, and full of heart—Fonzie is ready to make himself at home. 🏡 The Ideal Furever Home Fonzie would thrive with an active family that enjoys including their dog in everyday life. He would love a canine playmate but would also be happy as the center of attention. He would love a pool and fenced yard so he can enjoy a place to run, explore, and burn off some puppy energy. Fonzie is an English Pointer/Retriever mix who was was born approximately 2-6-26. He is neutered, age-appropriate vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed and given a 3-month dose flea/tick preventation.
