Meet Trooper. 𧥠A young GSP puppy who survived parvo and an attack from another dog that left him with severe jaw fractures. GSP rescue volunteers stepped in and helped heal him physically and mentally. He is now in his amazing forever home thanks to rescue efforts and support from volunteers.
In the early years of Rescue, the GSPCA played an integral part in the startup of many rescue groups. Decades later, GSP rescue organizations have evolved to be their own entities, with large networks of regional volunteers.
The GSPCA remains supportive of GSP rescue, and the GSPCA breeder guidelines state that breeders will take back dogs they bred when a home doesnât work out.
GSPCA members are to be good stewards of our breed, including when a litter is born, a strict contract is in place with explicit directions on what can and canât happen to a puppy. We do not want or expect any dogs produced by members to end up in shelters or rescue!
If you are interested in volunteering for rescue, please check the list below and contact the group that serves your area.
