Notes from NorCal German Shorthaired Pointer Rescue
Kelso is a handsome 3-year-old male GSP who’s in need of just the right home. Are you that special person? Help us figure out if you’re the right fit! You . . .
Want to help a dog that’s been through a lot Won’t demand much of him Are OK with an aloof dog Don’t mind that he doesn’t cuddle Understand dog body language, communication, and handling sensitivities Are experienced with high-energy / hunting breeds Live in a rural or uncrowded suburban area Have a quiet adult-only household without a lot of comings and goings Have a secure yard where he can poke around to his heart’s content Are willing to provide enrichment and training, with rescue’s support
If you tick most of the boxes, we’d love to hear from you!
Kelso enjoys running!
Other notes: Dog selective - may be OK with a well-socialized dog (female preferred) and controlled introductions.
