My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Introducing Nova, aka Princess, Diva, Mimi, or Itty Bitty will steal your heart at her first hello. Greeting you with a kiss on the lips and her bags in tow, wastes no time in adjusting to a new environment. She walks right in as if she owns the place from the start, and she is ready for her forever and always home. If I had one word to describe Nova, it is "easy'. She is easy to foster, easy to love, and easy to incorporate into any new routine and environment. She is kennel trained, house trained, e-collar trained, command savvy, and smart as a whip. She is good with people, pets, children, chickens. She travels perfectly in a vehicle, even unkenneled, sitting and looking out the window the entire time without a peep, ready for any adventure.

This precious petite little pointer is packing it in at only 41 pounds, but could use some more exercise to trim her up a bit, but who doesn't need to lose their winter weight?! She enjoys to be active, and would love to be more consistent with a structured exercise routine.

She absolutely thrives as a chicken herder. She will fiercely protect your flock as she constantly tries to herd them to keep a watchful eye on all your feathered friends. Don’t panic as you think she will pounce on them after her perfect pointer poise, she either boops them with her nose to move them or gently paws them and says “tag your it” and runs to the next bird. She is in her glory watching over

a flock. With her perfect pointer poise, agility, and lightning quick speed she shows potential as an absolute hunting machine, given the proper training. She is waiting to show you her mad skills.

No chickens, and/or not a hunter, no problem, this girl does it all! She easily engages in self-soothing play, especially to start off her day, excited to show you her energy after her perfectly kenneled night's sleep. You will swoon over her affection. She is a hard snuggler of a lap dog that makes you appreciate her small frame.

So, if you are looking for an easy pocket pointer, look no further as this little sweetness will surely steal your heart. This diva deserves only to be pampered!

Additional adoption info

Adoptions are simple, we match the dog to the family and the family to the dog. Our Adoption process contains the following steps:
1. Complete our adoption application.
2. WGSPR will review your application and follow up with you via email or phone.
3. WGSPR will conduct a veterinary reference check and background check.
4. A WGSPR volunteer will contact you to set up a home visit.
5. WGSPR will determine and notify you if you are approved. If you are not approved, we will provide you with the reason we are not willing to allow you to adopt from us.
6. WGSPR will put you in contact with the foster family to further discuss the GSP that you are interested in.
If you, as the applicant would like to continue in the adoption process, a Meet and Greet is set up with the foster family. WGSPR does require you, as the potential adopter, to travel to the foster home for the meet and greet.
7. WGSPR foster families have the FINAL decision on the family that will adopt the GSP rescue.
NOTE: Considerations include application, home visit, meet and greet and overall best fit and safety considerations for the GSP rescue.
WGSPR matches you with the perfect GSP we have in rescue as your lifelong companion.
NOTE: The length of time the adoption approval process can vary and is dependent on the schedules and availability of our volunteers and the applicant(s). We ask that you please be patient through this process.
Considerations

1. WGSPR follows National GSP Breed Rescue Protocols.
2. WGSPR does not hold dogs. If you are interested in a particular GSP, you should arrange to meet that dog as soon as possible following approval.
3. WGSPR is unable to ship our GSPs to other states.
4. WGSPR cannot promise any of our GSPs are hunters.

Go meet their pets

Since all of our GSPs are in foster homes, we do require an approved adopter to travel to the foster home for the meet and greet.

WGSPR also participates in monthly shows and expos where you can meet some of our adoptable dogs. Please watch our website at https://www.wgspr.com/ or our Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/WGSPR-Wisconsin-German-Shorthaired-Pointer-Rescue-License-403447-141240896814/

More about this rescue

Wisconsin German Shorthaired Pointer Rescue (WGSPR) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization covering the state of Wisconsin. We save GSPs from shelters, humane societies, and owner surrenders. Our rescued dogs are placed into foster homes to be loved, nurtured, trained and in some cases nursed back to health while we find the perfect permanent home and loving family for them.

The mission of WGSPR is to provide the general public with knowledge of our breed, offer fully vetted, rescued, purebred GSPs for adoption, with a life-time follow-up and return policy for all of our adopted GSPs.
