Story
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.

Story
Meet Fletcher: The Sweet, Soulful Snooze-Buddy You’ve Been Waiting For  If you’ve ever wished your dog came with a “deep thinker” setting, let us introduce Fletcher — a 5-ish-year-old German Shorthair Pointer with the calm dignity of a wise old professor… and the occasional goofy habit that reminds you he’s still very much a dog. Fletcher is a 60-lb sweetheart with eyes so soulful you may find yourself sharing your life story before you realize it. He’s quiet, gentle, and happiest when curled up next to you on the couch or bed while you read, watch TV, or ponder the meaning of life together. He’s a world-class snuggler and an A+ lounge companion. But don’t let his philosopher vibes fool you — he does have strong opinions. For example: He believes squirrels are untrustworthy and must be monitored at all times. He feels very strongly that small dogs might be suspicious until proven otherwise. He is pretty sure the neighbors walking their dogs past his house need a polite announcement (but he’ll settle down quickly if you reassure him they’re not invading). Fletcher gets along great with dogs his own size, and he lights up when meeting new people. Kids? Likely fine, though not officially tested. Cats? Absolutely not. Squirrels? Hard pass. Anything small and scurrying? Also no. Let’s just say he’s firmly Team “No Tiny Creatures in My Space. He’s not big on toys, but he will groan adorably when he’s tired, and he'll reluctantly tolerate the crate—even though he’s certain he has better places to be. He’s also working on perfecting indoor manners: keeping all four paws on the floor, resisting the siren call of the kitchen counter, and proving he is trustworthy without a belly band. (We’re not quite there yet, but he’s trying.) Despite a few quirks, Fletcher is truly a gentle, thoughtful, loving dog who wants nothing more than a calm home, a cozy couch, and a human who appreciates a good cuddle and a quiet companion. He’s loyal, affectionate, and has that special old-soul charm that makes you feel lucky just to share space with him. If you’re looking for a sweet, steady, deeply loving dog who will watch shows with you, nap beside you, and gaze into your soul like you’re the best thing that ever happened to him — Fletcher is your guy.   Fletcher is being fostered in Omaha, NE.

Story
Mabel walked in with a gentle spirit and a body that has clearly carried too many litters. She is currently in heat and her system is run down. An itchy raw patch on her skin turned out to be a staph infection. She is being treated, but it will take time and consistent care to get her fully healthy. Once her skin has cleared and her hormones have settled, she will be spayed and finally able to close the door on that chapter of her life. Her adoption is already pending, but she needs to reach the finish line medically before she can head to her new home. If you would like to help cover the cost of her treatment and recovery, you can donate here: (greatpointers.rescuegroups.org/info/donate)  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 8, 2026, 12:37 pm
