Success Stories

Leroy

Leroy is another one of our oldies but goodies, and being at the right place at the right time is his specialty. Leroy’s foster brought him to our holiday card signing event where we put together all the holiday cards we send to adopters, donors, volunteers and friends of NorCal GSP Rescue. At that event […]

Duke

It warms our hearts when one of our oldies gets adopted. Plus, Duke had many volunteers wishing they had room in their homes for just one more:) Duke’s adopters were looking for a more mature dude to hang out with their golden retrievers. Duke decided he would love to be part of a golden family

Vixen

One of the purposes of rescue is to give a dog the time they need to find their perfect family. Vixen was in foster care for almost a year waiting for her forever home to come along, but come along they did. Now Vixen has found a home for the holidays and we are so

Colby

We all know that GSPs are no dummies! Colby landed in one of our best foster homes where the older gents are more than welcome. Even though Colby needed a couple of surgeries to get his health back in top shape, his fosters didn’t blink an eye, and decided to make Colby a permanent resident.

Isabeau

Little did Isabeau (now Scout) know, she would fill the empty space in the heart of her adopter after he lost his previous GSP. He was used to having a GSP buddy to go to work with him every day, hike with, and hang out with 24/7. As soon as he met Isabeau, he knew

Ryder

Ryder is one handsome, strapping young dude who had many a potential adopter beating down our door to adopt him. His match turned out to be a young physician who is ready to run with him in the morning, play with him in the afternoon and love him 24/7. Sounds good! Here he is already

Aiden

We are so thankful for the loving adopters who open their hearts and homes to our dogs. Aiden’s new family had previously adopted another senior GSP from us back in April—gorgeous boy Ace. When they saw Aiden on the website,they contacted us and asked if they could adopt him as well! We couldn’t say yes

Wrangler

Wrangler came to us with one of the saddest stories we’d heard in a while. After his family moved and left him at the property, he got stuck between the fence and a shed and was there for a week with no food or water (in August) before neighbors found and rescued him. Not surprisingly,

Chandler Bing

Every once in a while you get a little surprise in rescue and Chandler Bing is one of those surprises. From his shelter pictures he looked like he could be a GSP mix, but in person not so much. Whatever he may be, Chandler Bing is a charmer and wiggled his way into two foster

Addie

Addie is just the cutest senior GSP! Who knew that her finding a forever home would hinge on her relationship with a cat named Stan? It was important that Addie and Stan get along if Addie was going to make her foster home her forever home. Addie’s fosters took their time and followed all the

Bobby

Bobby’s been one of the most popular adoptable dogs we’ve had in rescue in a long time. We could have adopted him out ten times over! It helps when you get along with everyone and everything—even cats. Bobby met his perfect match and will get to go to work with his new mom. Have a

Shelby

Shelby’s foster home was filled with GSPs and since she’s no dummy she made herself right at home with the crew. Shelby’s fosters aren’t dummies either and decided to make Shelby’s stay permanent.

Oscar

We think it’s safe to say it was love at first sight for Oscar and his new mom. She fell in love with Oscar and “his crooked little grin” in his photos and then the match was confirmed when the two met in person. After such a long road to recovery, we couldn’t be happier

Oscar Read More »

Dot

Dot’s foster home just couldn’t let her go to someone else and decided to turn her foster home into her forever home. Dot couldn’t agree more, we’re sure! Dot joins NorCal GSP Rescue alum Boyd for fun and games with her not-so-new family!

Gidget

We thought Gidget would be in and out of rescue in a flash, but she tested positive for heart worm. Wah wah! Fortunately she tolerated the months of treatment and bed rest like a real trooper. Her adoptive family waited until she was finished with treatment and now Gidget can romp and play like any

Rosalie

Lucy’s been in several homes in her short life. A young girl with energy to spare, (even for a GSP!) and a quirky, yet loving personality, it took her some time to find her perfect fit. Fortunately, Lucy (formerly Rosalie) found her forever home with a GSP sister, Bella, and a family ready to deal

Chloe

Chloe was a stray who ended up at the shelter. Her previous owner must have lost his/her mind not to reclaim this fantastic dog. Oh well, their loss is Chloe’s gain! She’s found a new home with a young lady who was looking for a running partner and she and Chloe will be hitting the

Ebony knew what a good thing she had going as soon as she arrived at her foster home. Luckily, the feeling was mutual.

Smart girl!!
