We are always in need of foster homes. If you are able and willing to help give a dog a temporary home please fill out our Volunteer Application!
We found this article on Petfinder that gives great hints for what to do when you are adopting a new pet. Things that help the dog transition and get acclimated to its new home.

Hank
Are you looking for a butterfly-chasing sidekick who will triple your daily dose of laughs? Meet Hank!
Hank is a handsome 2.5-year-old, 57 lb male GSP with a sweet, goofy, and wonderfully clumsy personality. While he can be a bit cautious of new people and unfamiliar situations at first, he is quick to adapt and learn to trust. Once he knows he’s safe, his true self shines right through – revealing a happy guy with delightful, playful puppy energy
Once you earn Hank’s trust, consider yourself chosen. He becomes the ultimate “Velcro dog” who loves to be right by your side. Hank gets along beautifully with other dogs and absolutely thrives on playtime. Because of his highly social nature, having a canine playmate in his forever home is pretty important for him.
When he isn’t trying to catch butterflies in the yard, Hank is a big fan of Nylabones and rope toys (he’s always down for a good game of tug-of-war). He is also a well-behaved boy outdoors and completely respects a 4-foot fence. Inside, he already knows commands like “sit” and “off.”
When it’s time for bed, Hank sleeps soundly in his crate all night—though you might need some earplugs, because he snores like a freight train! If he needs to go in his crate during the day, he will vocalize his protest for a minute or two, but always settles down nicely.
Hank is looking for a patient, loving home where he can continue to blossom into the loyal companion he is meant to be.
Hank is currently in foster care in Falls Church, VA. If you are interested in making this sweet boy part of your family, please fill out the adoption application.
Maverick
Maverick is a sweet 5 year old male GSP. He has been vetted and is on flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. He came into the rescue after his family of 5 years moved and could no longer care for him with the increasing responsibilities of work and children.
Maverick likes walking on the sidewalks in the neighborhood of his foster family. We use a 6ft leash with a front D ring harness or a prong collar. He does not pull, despite being so strong, and generally unfamiliar with leash walking. He previously was primarily let out in the yard for exercise. He knows basic commands useful when walking like, “with me,” “leave it” and “come.” He is always interested in squirrels nearby but he will leave it and continue on the walk.
Maverick is fine in 4 foot fencing and is not an escape artist. We use baby gates in the house to confine him to a few rooms on the main floor when we are out. He could easily get over the 2 foot high gate blocking our stairs, but he doesn’t even try it.
Maverick is friendly with all of adults he has met and does not jump. He has not met any children yet but lived in a home with a 6 month old and 3 year old before he came into the rescue. He does a sweet excited little hop with his front feet but he clearly was trained not to jump. He has shared barks with a few dogs in the neighborhood, but does not pull to try to get to them if they are on the other side of the street. We do think he should be the only dog in the home since he sometimes reacts to other dogs barking, etc.
He is not food possessive and knows how to sit and shake for a treat. He takes treats gently and is not a chewer. He does not destroy stuffed toys, but occasionally pokes a little hole in them. He carries toys around the house proudly and often cannot decide which toy to pick up so he will put two or three in his mouth at once. He loves to play fetch with a hard Kong ball and he will bring it back to you and knows the command “drop it.”
Maverick is not crated when we go out. He does not try to get into trash cans and does not counter surf. He whines when we first leave, but spends his time sleeping on the couch or cool floor and looking out the window. He sits nearby the dinner table when we eat but doesn’t try to get our food or whine. He sleeps in a dog bed next to our bed at night and knows the command “place.” He has tried to get up on the bed, but also knows the command “off” and jumps right down.
Maverick is being fostered in Annandale, VA. If he interests you, please complete an adoption application.
Zeke
Meet Zeke! This handsome boy is your picture perfect GSP. He is about 3.5 years old, (past those puppy stages!) and loves spending time as close as he can with his humans.
This 50lb wiggle butt will squirm right into your heart and lap. He does have the typical GSP energy but he also chills out quite nicely after a walk. He walks well with a harness and is doing well on his leash manners. He is potty trained, and working on his basic obedience commands. Zeke has done great in his crate not only at home, but in the car as well. He will sometimes be a little pouty at night for bedtime until he settles a few minutes later, but only because he wants to be near his humans.
Zeke is great with dogs and people. But probably too prey driven for cats. When other dogs bark on walks, he doesn’t pay any attention to them.
Zeke is currently in Norfolk, VA. If he interests you please fill out an adoption application.
Lily
Hi! My name is Lily and I am 6 years old.
I am an AKC registered GSP and have had one known litter of pups. I love playing in the fenced in yard with other dogs and small children and teenagers. I am a good girl that does not dig or attempt to jump or climb over the fence or gate.
I LOVE the wading pool! I walk trails on leash/harness and I only pull when I see squirrels 😁 I enjoy playing in the creek! I’m trying to learn to fetch 🐶. I like to relax by laying at your feet or sitting at attention by your side until I lean over onto you for snuggles and a belly rub.
I am crate, leash/harness, house/potty and remote collar trained! I travel well with mild anxiety that has not required medication and quickly disappears after a pup cup. I love to ride around and meet new people and dogs. I know commands such as sit, come and down.
I also love cats but that’s my problem; I point them out and give chase 🥹
I do good in thunderstorms and I have the option to sleep wherever I want but I prefer my crate 🛏️. I rarely bark and when I do, it’s because the garbage truck is out front 😁
I have someone willing to transport and spay specifically for me to be fostered or adopted by a loving person or family ♥️
Nala
Meet Nala! Nala is a beautiful 2.5-year-old GSP with the perfect mix of playful energy and endless affection. Like most young GSPs, she loves to explore the outdoors and is always ready for an adventure. Whether she’s tracking scents on a walk or pointing at the neighborhood bunnies, Nala embraces every walk with excitement. Once she’s had a chance to stretch her legs, though, she’s more than happy to settle down and spend the rest of the day snuggled up with her favorite people.
Nala is truly a cuddle bug at heart. If there’s an open lap, she’ll find it! She loves being close to her humans and is happiest when she can lean against you, curl up beside you, or simply soak up all the love and attention you have to give.
This sweet girl is house trained, crate trained, and walks well on a leash. She sleeps in her crate at night and does a great job, although if she had her way, she’d much rather be snuggled up in bed with her people. She has wonderful house manners and is ready to transition smoothly into her forever home.
Nala gets along well with other dogs, both out on walks and in the home. She is also friendly with people and loves meeting new friends! While she hasn’t been tested with cats, her strong prey drive and love of chasing wildlife—especially rabbits—mean a cat-free home may be the best fit.
Nala is looking for a family that understands the fun, active nature of a young GSP and is excited to include her in daily walks, playtime, and adventures. In return, she’ll reward you with unwavering loyalty, endless cuddles, and a heart full of love.
If you think Nala could be the perfect addition to your family, please fill out an application! She is currently located in Christiansburg, VA.
Rooster
Rooster entered foster care on 7/19. More information and pictures will be added as we learn about this sweet boy!
Adopted!
Elle – adopted
Elle came to us needing some care with an infected wound caused by a puncture in her neck. She’s one tough girl, never complaining while her fosters cleaned her wound before she went through surgery to remove what turned out to be a piece of wood still lodged in her neck.
She is our GSP model, a 3 yr old beautiful GSP weighing 41 lbs, up to date on vaccines, spayed and microchipped.
This little lady is as perfect as they come. She is good with other dogs and wonderful with people. She walks nicely on a leash and is very snuggly and loving. They don’t come any better than this gem.
She is housetrained and her first foster left her uncrated overnight with no issue. She has had to be crated while recovering from surgery to limit activity and can be in a crate but will be a bit anxious and take it out on a dogbed if left inside with her. We expect she would be fine left uncrated.
Elle is currently in Easton, MD. If she interests you please fill out an adoption application.
Winnie – adopted
Winnie is a 7 month old 40lb female puppy that was surrendered to rescue. She is very sweet, intelligent, and loves to be by your side. She is very food motivated and trainable.
Winnie lives with one other GSP and loves to play all day long. She is sometimes hesitant around new dogs, but typically warms up quickly.
Winnie has some anxiety in her crate and when left alone, but tends to calm down after a few minutes. Her potty training is progressing quickly with her foster parents. If you would like to meet Winnie she is located in Virginia Beach, VA.
If interested in her, pls fill out our adoption application
Roscoe – adopted
Roscoe is an exceptionally friendly 7 year old GSP weighing in at 58 lbs. He’s great around other dogs, willing to share bones and toys. If Roscoe senses another dog is grumpy around him, he pretty much ignores him but may back off a little to give the dog more space. He gets along with children and our parrot but has not been tested with cats. Roscoe obviously has spent time in a home, he is housebroken and will go to the door when he needs to go outside once he’s familiar with his new home.
Roscoe is very comfortable in a crate and seems to be very content in his crate at night with his stuffed toys. He tends to pull on the leash during walks but he is smart. He wants to please and quickly responds to a correction. He loves the kitchen and has a great nose for searching out food. You’ll need to keep an eye on Roscoe or you may find your sandwich on the counter is missing. He has a great memory and tends to know where treats are stored and will manage to get into them if left unsupervised.
Outside, Roscoe is interested in searching for chipmunks, birds and other small critters. He also loves to just sit and enjoy the outdoors. He does not demand tons of exercise but enjoys being with his family both inside and outside. We’re really going to miss Roscoe and his adorable personality when he’s adopted but he will quickly adapt to his new family and be a wonderful addition to your home. You’ll love this GSP who just loves being with his people and enjoying life.
Roscoe is being fostered in Richmond, VA. If interested in him, pls fill out our adoption application
Dottie – adopted
Hi, I’m a 2-3-year old German Shorthaired Pointer with a heart as big as my puppy dog eyes.
If you’re looking for a best friend who’s sweet, kind, and happiest just being with her people, I might be your girl.
Unlike some of my breed, I’m more of a low-energy gal. I enjoy walks, sniffing around the yard, and then settling in for a cozy nap by your feet. I’m perfectly happy trading marathons for movie nights!
People are my favorite, especially kids. I love gentle pets, belly rubs, and being included in whatever my family is doing. Whether we’re playing outside or relaxing on the couch, I’m just happy to be by your side.
I’ve got lots of love to give and can’t wait to find a forever family who will love me right back. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion with a gentle soul, I think we’d make the perfect team.
Are you ready for a lifetime of road trips and cuddles? Let’s meet! If interested pls fill out our Adoption Application
