Rider
Rider is the sweetest little puppy. He is currently 15 weeks old and about 20lbs. Rider and his siblings were surrendered, along with their mother, to a WV shelter. Mom was a GSP, but we are unsure who Dad was.
Rider is an excellent companion. He has such a nice temperament. He is eager to learn and loves following his people around the house. Rider lives with three other dogs and loves to play! He also does great with the 3-year old toddler in the house!
Rider is crate trained and will sleep quietly at night in his crate. He is about 98% house trained and does well riding in the car. He is also an expert sock hunter, so if you have some missing socks under the couch/bed, rest assured that Rider will retrieve them for you!
Rider is in Bowie, MD. If interested pls fill out the adoption application
Rachel
Rachel is a sweet, beautiful, happy girl, with all the wonderful and whacky qualities common to GSP’s. She weighs about 54 pounds. She is estimated to be 6-8 yrs old, a perfect age as she is still youthful and active but has had time to develop an “off switch” and to learn the joys of quiet time and a good snooze in the sun. She has certainly lived in a home, as she is very comfortable indoors, loves to chill on the couch or sunbathe on a dog bed, is house-trained, gentle, playful and loves toys. She likes to carry balls and soft toys around in her mouth and initiate play. She seeks out affection and likes to lean in for a rub.
This girl is food motivated and enjoys supervising all food preparation/cooking. She routinely shares the water bowl at the same time with her foster brother; however we make it a practice to feed the dogs in separate rooms.
Rachel loves being outside as well, and enjoys long sniffing walks and exploring the woods behind our home. She could use a bit more practice leash walking and has improved while in foster care. She does not appear to have had any obedience training but is learning recall and is working on “sit” and “place”. She is as interested as any GSP in things that fly including birds, bumblebees, and butterflies. I think she would be fine with older children, as she is gentle and careful not to run people over when she gets excited.
All in all I think Rachel would make a wonderful companion for a fairly active person, or a fantastic family dog. She settled into the routine quickly and has been a pleasure to have in our home. She would surely thrive with a yard to run and play in with her humans.
Rachel is in Laytonsville, MD. If interested pls fill out the adoption application
Gunner
Gunner is a 2 yr old German Shorthaired Pointer with a sweet, gentle personality and a heart full of love. He’s fantastic with kids and other dogs. Gunner is happiest when he’s with his people—he’s a true “Velcro dog” who loves to snuggle on the couch just as much as he enjoys getting out for walks. He is neutered and utd on vaccines.
He walks nicely on a leash, sleeps well in his crate at night, and does great when crated for a few hours during the day. Gunner is still working on house training and basic manners, but he is 95% there.
In new environments, Gunner can be a bit cautious at first, but with a little time and reassurance, he warms up and shows his loving, loyal nature. He hasn’t been tested around cats yet.
Gunner would thrive in a home that can give him companionship, structure, and plenty of affection—he’ll reward you with endless loyalty and love.
Gunner is being fostered in Springfield, VA. If interested in him, pls fill out our adoption application
Fletch
Fletch is a handsome 6 year old boy. He weighs 62lbs and is fully vetted. Fletch is a beloved member of his family, but due to some life changes he is in need of a loving home.
Fletch is a fantastic dog. He is dog and kid friendly. Fletch is fully off leash trained with an e collar and would love a home where he had room to run or someone that would take him on adventures.
Fletch loves to play fetch and he loves to swim. He is also not crate trained, but he is good if left free in the house! He is too prey driven for cats. He is currently in 6 ft fencing.
Fletch knows the commands, come, place, stay, and woah. He is such a sweet and energetic boy that would make a perfect addition to almost any family.
Fletch’s family is really hoping to find a family that loves walks, and outdoor play and will take him on adventures. He is used to living a very fulfilling life and they want to make sure he has every opportunity to explore!
Fletch is in Salisbury, MD. If interested in him, pls fill out our adoption application
Toro
Toro is a handsome almost four year old GSP. Extremely loyal and like other GSPs, will be your shadow around the home.
He loves playing fetch (ball and/or stick) and loves the water. Toro is a 6.5/10 on the GSP energy scale. He is a fantastic snuggler and loves to curl up by a fire in the winter (LOVES snow!).
He has a blast at the dog park and doggy day care. Walks well on a leash with the side-kick leash. Well trained to common commands (heel, place, come, stay). Non-destructive in the home and house-trained.
He has been left for extended periods while attending football games, running errands and does fantastic in the home. He’s a gem. He always knows when you had a bad day and is ready to relax and cheer you up:)
Toro is efence trained but we will only put him in efence if its a larger property, he doesn’t appreciate people using his community yard as a short cut to other places, he prefers strangers to not come into his yard. So a smaller community with an efence is not in his best interest, a physical fence would be ideal.
Toro does live with children and does well with them. Toro is up for adventure, so if you are active, he is ready to go.
Toro is currently in Crofton, MD.
Hank- FOSTER NEEDED!
Hank is a two year old male GSP. He is good with people and other dogs. While in foster care he will need to be neutered and vetted. He has had his rabies and distemper vaccines. We are really looking for a safe place for him to land and start his next chapter!
Hank is currently in Delaware, but rescue will transport to any approved foster. If you are interested, please fill out an application!
Hemi- FOSTER NEEDED!
Hemi is a six year old female GSP. She is good with people and other dogs. While in foster care she will need to be spayed and vetted. We are really looking for a safe place for her to land and start her next chapter!
Hemi is currently in Delaware, but rescue will transport to any approved foster. If you are interested, please fill out an application!
Baxter
Baxter is an 8-year-old neutered male German Shorthaired Pointer weighing 70 lbs. He is house trained, his current owner gives him free roam of the home. When crated he cries and gets very upset.
He is gun shy, so will not be a hunter. He is also afraid of thunder and will hide out in the tub when a storm arrives. He currently lives with a French Bulldog and a cat, though we are not recommending cats in a new home. Baxter lives on a farm and has made his way to the neighbors and is killing the feral cats on their property.
We had a volunteer meet Baxter and he was described as very friendly and easy going, good on a leash, and loves car rides. He simply needs a confined area instead of wandering a farm.
Baxter is near Charles Town, WV and is seeking a foster or permanent spot with a new family.

Yeti – Courtesy Listing
Yeti is a 7 yr old female GSP weighing 75lbs. Yeti is in need of a home without little dogs. She is a wonderful family companion!
Yeti has grown up with kids and dogs. However, she has become a little grumpy with the dogs in her house and we think she would do best as an only dog! She is fine when walking by other dogs but likes things her way when in the house.
Yeti is good in 4ft fencing and can be left free in the house without issue. She is house trained and crate trained, but her family no longer crates her. Yeti has been conditioned to an e-collar so she can be off leash.
Yeti’s dream home would be one where she gets lots of attention and lots of exercise. She is happy to run and play and wouldn’t mind playing catch or chasing a few kids around!
She is located in Midlothian, VA. If interested pls fill out an adoption application.
Bensen – adoption in progress
Meet Bensen: The Sweet, Resilient Sweetheart Ready for His Forever Home!
Bensen is a 1-year-old with the perfect mix of playful puppy energy and calm, easygoing charm. At around 45 pounds, he’s a wonderful medium size—big enough for adventures, small enough to fit comfortably into everyday life. With his striking black-and-white spotted coat and expressive eyes, he’s incredibly cute and sure to turn heads.
When he first arrived at his foster home, he was understandably unsure. But it didn’t take long for his true personality to shine. Within just a couple of days, Bensen’s confidence blossomed—and he quickly became a loyal little shadow, happily following his foster around the house.
He is a bit timid when meeting new people initially, but once he realizes he’s safe, he warms up quickly and becomes a devoted, affectionate friend. Bensen is curious and loves exploring the world around him—on walks he trots along happily with an eager, bouncy stride, good on a leash and always ready to see what’s next. He especially enjoys beach outings, where his playful side comes out as he digs in the sand and joyfully chases and pounces at the foamy water that rushes up onto the shore. He loves the snow too—he rolls around in it with pure delight, jumping and playing like it’s the best thing ever!
Despite his playful side, Bensen settles down beautifully. He sleeps quietly through the night, is crate trained, house trained and does great riding in the car. Whether it’s an outdoor adventure or a cozy night on the couch, he’s happy just being by your side.
Bensen would thrive in a patient, loving home that will give him a little time to adjust—and in return, he’ll give endless loyalty, companionship, and sweetness. Bensen is in the Annapolis, MD area, if interested pls fill out the adoption application.

Libby – adopted
Brinkley – adopted
This special guy found himself in the Suffolk Co Animal Shelter with a broken leg. GWP Rescue was contacted but said they could not assist. One of our adopters in that area knew someone who owned a GWP and Natalie and her husband agreed to foster Brinkley.
His leg was broken at the wrist joint and what we hoped would be a simple broken leg repair turned into an $8000 vet bill. We were able to raise $2k on Facebook and we thank everyone who donated.
Brinkley had his final check up today (5/6) and has been given the all clear. His foster mom and dad have adopted him and they sent us this picture today.
We are all incredibly happy for Brinkley, the shelter was going to put him to sleep and we are glad his future turned out much differently. We are all Team Brinkley.
