GSP for adoption
« on: October 25, 2013, 09:47:49 AM »
Hey Folks-

I have a 4 yr old female GSP that I need to give up for adoption. I got divorced 3 years ago and my ex can no longer have her( I travel for work) when I'm not in town. We've been sharing her, but she is no longer willing to do that. It kills me to do this, but I don't have a choice. I would like her to go to a good hunting home, but it's doesn't have to be.....but she can't be locked in a kennel or house all day.

She is very athletic and needs to get her exercise. She's about 60 lbs. She's had a couple hundred birds shot over her and is a good hunting dog. She's had some amazing long distance retrieves. I spent hundreds of hours training her and working with a trainer too.  She's fixed, current on vaccinations and house broken. She is good with kids and other dogs and cats. Please let me know if you or if you know someone who is interested. I can send pics and talk on the phone if you have questions. Thanks.

I wish I could help you out with this one, but I've already got 2 of my own that require a lot of my time.  Good luck finding a home.

If you get jammed up, I can take her for a while and work on rehoming her.

If you need any other help with this let me know. I know I could find her a good home if she was local. Yes I could house her for a bit.

Jolly I would have taken her, but we added a new GSP pup to our household (along with a GWP, dachsund, and chichiua) and I don't think the wife would allow it. I would get her for my dad, but I think that my mom would be mad. His GWP had to be put down this past year and he was talking about dogs again the other day. Maybe I will throw it out to him and show him the pictures.

:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Sorry Jolly he said no. He is leaving for a month to Mexico, so it probably would not have made a good transition anyways. Hope you find a home soon.

Damn good looking shorthair.  Will be gone quickly.  If I didn't have one I would be on this.

Thank you so much for all the replies. Much appreciated. I live in Nine Mile Falls, about 12 miles NW of Spokane, but could drive somewhere for the right person/environment.
