German Shorthaired Pointer puppies and dogs in Plattsmouth, Nebraska

Being a German Shorthair & Hound mix, you can imagine that ol' Oscar is a lover of the outdoors! This sweet boy was born in May of 2015 and is still looking for a place to call his own. Oscar enjoys being around people, especially ladies, but he understands what it's like to need some space: your time, my time, and our time! Oscar experiences anxiety and because of this, boundaries are important to him. When his anxiety is low, Oscar is a goofy, playful boy who likes to chase balls, sticks, and rabbits. He loves, loves, loves long walks with plenty of time to let his hound nose get some exercise, and lots of exercise helps work off that extra energy that can make this handsome boy nervous! Because of his love for exploration, Oscar will need a fenced-in yard to keep him close to home.  Oscar is not kennel trained, but is totally fine being left to lounge around the house while you're away.  He's also housetrained, so no worries about that business! Oscar is a very smart dog who knows "sit", "stay", "lay down", "leave it" and he also knows that when he follows these fun words, he gets really yummy treats! Oscar's ideal home will be with an active person/couple who love to explore nature, just like he does, and who will love him like family while respecting his need for boundaries and independence! The suggested adoption donation for Oscar is $315.  We are a 501c3 organization which means that your donation may be TAX DEDUCTIBLE.  Your donation goes toward the high cost of veterinary care for our animals in rescue, as well as providing supportive services to animals in homes. Information about the adoption process:  All adoptions require a completed ADOPTION APPLICATION.  Once your application is approved, we will put you in touch with the dog’s foster to see if you and the pet are a good match.  If so, we will arrange a meeting for you and the pet.  The adoptions for all of our animals will take place in the Omaha, NE area and must be done by the adoptive family in person. We do not ship or deliver. Please Note:  We are a RESCUE, which is different from a shelter.  We conduct veterinary and personal reference checks during the application approval process. We always select the right applicant for each dog, based on the dog’s needs.  If you and the dog are not a good match, we will help you select another dog, or we will keep your approved application on file for 6 months.

Remi is in need of a home after her owner passed away unexpectedly.  Remi is described as a very nice dog with a sweet personality. Remi plays well with other dogs and is good with children. Remi has a hunting background and has lived in an outdoor kennel. Remi is reportedly not good with cats, so a cat free foster home will be needed. Because Remi has only lived in an outdoor kennel, Remi will need to learn how to live in a home. GPPR dogs are indoor dogs, so the foster family will need to be prepared to help Remi learn the routines and expectations of indoor living, including potty training. Patience will be especially important as Remi adjusts to a completely new environment. We are looking for a foster home willing to give Remi the time and patience needed to make the transition from outdoor kennel life to living indoors.   Could you foster Remi?

Attention pointer loving people: meet Freya, our senior girl with the spirit of a I am proud to introduce you to the Norse Goddess Freya! Yeah, ok, so she's not REALLY a goddess, but she is Freya and she does welcome adoration, in the form of pets, scritches, half-snuggles, and...treats! Definitely treats. Our lady has had 13 years of learning so far in this life, and she's a "wise" and wisened soul. She came to GPPR from a complicated situation, one where her resilience, determination, resourcefulness, and smarts served her well. A consequence of her survivor spirit is a smidgen of...sass, and a bit of naughty.  She knows how to dump a trash can by grabbing the edge of the bag with her teeth. She knows how to open the lid of a closed toilet. She still counter-surfs. All results of having had to fend for herself in her former home. We've dubbed her alter ego Loki...especially so when she sneakily swipes a toy from one of her foster sisters! Trickster behavior aside, Freya is very sweet, happy, curious, and in spite of everything still loving. She loves to be with "her" people. She loves her three foster sisters, one who is a typical younger pointer (you all know what I mean, she's crazy) and one who is also a senior citizen.  She even loves our cat, Shadow, though I'm not sure the feeling is mutual: Shadow doesn't deign to show herself often but when she does Freya slowly follows her like a, well, shadow. More than anything she loves her "girls", the 15- and 17-year-old humans who live here too and the 9-year-old who lives next door. Freya is a magical mix of GSP, and something yet to be determined. She does not have a shorthair coat, nor a short hair on her anywhere.  She's fluffy and soft and very calming to pet. She's also built a little differently: broader across the back than a full pointer and equipped with a bonus toe on her front right foot! She is polydactyl and also ectrodactyl! No worries though, she's lived her whole life this way and the vet says her "lucky toe" gets to stay! The extra fun to her foot doesn't seem to slow her down, but some slight arthritis does some. She will still trot when the proper motivation presents itself, but that's her fastest speed. She likes walks, but they need to be short. She LOVES being outside, and the screen porch is a favorite napping locale. For now, Freya is enjoying the comforts of her foster home while we continue to learn more about her medical needs. She is currently available for sponsorship only and is not available for adoption. Freya is being fostered in Ames, IA. Help Freya Freya is currently available for sponsorship only while we continue to investigate her medical needs. Your donations help GPPR provide the veterinary care, testing, medications, and ongoing support Freya needs. Every contribution helps us give this special senior girl the care and comfort she deserves. To support Freya, please visit greatpointers.org/donate. Thank you for helping Freya enjoy the comforts of a safe, loving foster home. UPDATE: October 9, 2026 Freya is settling in and had an encouraging initial veterinary visit! Her veterinarian does not consider her a hospice case and feels she currently has a good quality of life and plenty of spirit. Freya has been experiencing increased drinking and urination, along with panting. Her initial treatment hasn't resolved these symptoms, so further testing is planned to help determine what's going on. Some of her liver values were also elevated, and we're continuing to work with her veterinarian to better understand her medical needs. Freya also has some arthritis, but it is not currently keeping her from getting around, exploring, or even helping herself to treats off the counter! Her unusual foot and extra toe were evaluated with an X ray, and for now there is no reason to remove the toe unless it begins causing her problems. Freya is currently available for sponsorship only while we continue investigating her medical needs. We're grateful to everyone helping this special senior girl get the care and comfort she deserves.   Freya's Story  Freya has made it out of the shelter and is now safely in a foster home with Great Plains Pointer Rescue. She is a 13-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer who came to the shelter after her owner passed away. She had been living in difficult conditions and arrived in need of significant care. Despite everything she has been through, Freya has shown us that she still has plenty of personality. She enjoys being with people, exploring her surroundings, and, apparently, helping herself to anything interesting on the counter. When Freya first arrived, her shelter records noted mobility and joint issues, cataracts, dental disease, pressure sores, and a malformed digit on one of her front paws. She has now had her initial veterinary evaluation through GPPR, and we are addressing her needs one step at a time. What Happens Next? Freya is safe in her foster home, where she's receiving the care and attention she needs. We're continuing to investigate her medical symptoms and will make decisions about her future based on her health, comfort, and quality of life. For now, Freya is available for sponsorship only. Your support helps GPPR provide the veterinary care and diagnostics needed to understand her condition and determine the best path forward. Follow Freya's Journey We'll continue sharing updates as Freya settles into her foster home and gets the care she needs. Right now, she's exactly where she needs to be: safe, loved, and getting the chance to enjoy her senior years in comfort.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 9, 2026, 7:25 pm
