Additional adoption info
People often ask us what the process is for adopting a GSP Rescue. So we thought we would list it here to answer some common questions.
First, every adopter must complete the Adoption Application listed on the page. This helps us to learn more about the adopter and to help match dogs to people.
Once an adopter is interested in a particular dog, a homecheck is performed. We only do them after there is specific interest because many times people will choose another breed or adopt from the shelter and we are a small rescue group handling a fairly large area. We don't want to drive all over doing homechecks just to do them when many times they aren't necessary.
Once the homecheck is complete the adopter can meet the dog if that wasn't done during the homecheck. Sometimes another volunteer is closer than the one who is fostering the dog the adopter is interested in. So it may not be the fosterer who performs the homecheck.
Almost always fencing is a requirement for a rescue dog. Most have had little to no training, yet they need exercise and a fenced yard is most practical. An untrained dog can simply dart off without proper containment.
We are not here to move dogs from A to B, we are here to help people and dogs find the right matches for a lifetime committment.
Rescue microchips each dog to the rescue and after a dog is adopted the new owner is added as a contact on the chip registration. The chip database allows us to add as many names as you would like, so if you'd like more contacts than the rescue and you, we will happily add those.
Adoption donations:
Dogs 1-5 years old - $350
Dogs 6-8 years old - $250
Dogs 9-10 years old - $200
Dogs >10 years old - donation
The adoption donation covers altering, a HW/Lyme/Erlichia test, fecal test, and the following vaccines: DHLPPC (Distemper combo), Bordetella (kennel cough), Lyme Disease (optional), and Rabies. We also treat any illness the dog has upon entering rescue.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
