Trixie
Today is Giving Tuesday and we are asking for prayers for Trixie please! Our Hospice Foster, Trixie (FL), may be happy to see her dinner, but unfortunately has bad health news. Trixie has developed a large thyroid mass.
Trixie is one of 84 GSPs we have in rescue right now. If you’d like to help us in our mission to save GSPs in need, please go to www.segsprescue.org to donate, become a foster volunteer, or adopt a GSP. We can’t save them without you!
Trixie’s foster mom Bonnie said, “She still seems to feel good, sleeps, eats and goes outside for long walks and will engage in play with the younger boys, I even catch her flirting with them.” We are heartbroken that her time is coming to a close. She's been in rescue since 2021 and is 14+ years old. Bonnie is just letting her be happy and will wait for Trixie to tell her when it’s time.
Thank you, Bonnie, for loving this precious girl!

Jacob (NC)
Foster Jacob (NC) said if you have a mole problem, he has a solution! It’s him, he’s the solution!!! 🤣 His foster mom Vicki said, “This boy has one heck of a nose on him to be able to smell that from the sidewalk while we were focused on our walk.”
LOL we love it! Good boy Jacob!

Roo (TN) continues to show more of her personality while in foster care. She loves playing fetch with her ball and tug of war with her foster sibling. Her foster family has been leaving her outside the crate when they leave the house and she’s been doing great with that! She will be in foster care another couple of weeks and will then make a decision about her forever home.

Rocky aka Dobby (NC)
Rocky (aka Dobby in NC) does not take mealtime lightly! He said if you don’t give me my breakfast I will huff and puff and blow this gate down! LOL!

Courtesy Page Alumnus Trooper, at 9 years old, has learned to swim! His mom Amanda has done an amazing job getting this boy to realize the water is his friend and can be really fun (and good exercise).
If you're looking for a GSP to love forever, please see our Dogs Available for Adoption page on our website, which includes "Other Dogs to Adopt (our courtesy listings): https://www.segsprescue.org/available-dogs.html

Welcome to rescue Lucy (SC)!
From foster mom Ashley, “It was hard to find good photos of Lucy because she’s always in velociraptor mode. Lucy has been a joy and has John wrapped around her pretty little paws, Enzo (our GSP) too, although he will never admit it. She sleeps through the night in her crate, has recently learned to climb the stairs, loves all toys, and is quite determined to snuggle with Enzo during nap time. She is a tiny, but mighty 6.37 lb puppy full of energy growing about 2 lbs a week.
Here’s a cute video! I swear Enzo is trying to teach her. He also leaves food in his bowl everyday for her. He’s never done that.”
Sweet babies! Keep growing Lucy. Eat up all that extra food.

Jack, aka Woody (AL)
Jack, aka Woody, in AL is eating better according to his foster mom Nancy and is doing great.
Nancy said, “He likes for me to keep him company while he is eating, and he also seems to prefer eating from the floor instead of a bowl. He seems to feel well, and he is still so sweet. He is very well behaved and listens when corrected or called. My only complaint is his marking behavior. Of all the dogs I’ve had, this is my first male. It has slowed down, probably because he’s already marked every available corner in the house! I’m not that concerned about it, but it really is about the only “negative” thing I can say about him. He has started playing with toys, but surprisingly he has not been hunting the lizards and chipmunks like I expected. Daisy has even started being a better hostess and has tried to get him to play. He doesn’t seem to understand what she is doing.”
It’s so sad to think this boy’s former life was eating off the floor and no play time! ☹ And we think he’s marking his foster home so he will never lose sight of his awesome people. 😊
Jack is heartworm positive so has a few more months in rescue before he’s ready for adoption.

Welcome to rescue Frannie (GA)! Frannie arrived in rescue with her littermate Mona. Her foste mom Katy sent us a wonderful update…
“Frannie (we call her Tuesday!) is the BEST puppy!! Don’t misunderstand, she can get really playful (she is a GSP after all), but she settles down very quickly when told!! She is so smart and has the cutest little round belly! We are still working on potty training, but she sleeps in her crate through the whole night! She is learning to walk on her leash and is very curious about all things. She has found her voice and isn’t afraid to use it either! It’s the cutest little voice you’ve ever heard, and she is easily redirected if needed. She absolutely loves cuddling and will make herself right at home in your arms for a nap. Right now, I think her favorite thing to do play fetch with her toys and she is great at bringing them back! We couldn’t be happier with this little gem.” 🥰
Thank you, Katy, for fostering a puppy. It sounds like you have everything under control but we know puppies can be a LOT of work. Frannie still has several weeks before she’s ready for adoption so stay tuned for more updates.

Dexter (TN)
Welcome to rescue, Dexter! Dexter settled into his foster home in TN this past week. Dexter may be seven years old, but he loves playing with toys and his foster brother.
His foster mom Jeanette says he is a very curious and energetic boy. She says they are two peas in a pod! And she also shared that he even knows some basic commands which they are reinforcing each day. And we are told he even likes cats!!!
Thank you, Jeanette, for fostering this handsome boy! Dexter will be in foster care for another three weeks or so and will then begin searching for his forever home. Stay tuned for more updates on this energetic, beautiful boy.

Lizzie (TN)
Welcome to SEGSP, Lizzie (TN). We can’t decide what we’re more excited about… Lizzie, or our upcoming calendar photo contest (Oct 4-11)! Both are going to be so much fun!
Lizzie’s foster mom, Laura, says that at day three, she’s getting braver! She loves to play hard, attack her little toys and then pass out. She loves to snuggle. Very curious, tries to follow the cat. She’s smart. Working on potty training and coming when called. And she’s already pointing!
Thank you so much Laura for fostering Lizzie! We couldn’t help but watch this video of her over and over, playing with the cardboard roll. What a cutie! And so smart, too!
Lizzie will be in foster care for several more weeks and will then be making decisions about her forever home. We can’t wait to follow her progress and see all she is learning along the way!

We got a great update on 2019 Alum, Ripley. He was a “strong” heartworm positive case when he came into rescue. But look at him now!
“ I thought you might want a couple of pics from my alumni Ripley, who I adopted out to the Sassaman family 5 years ago! They live in Michigan now on a 16 acre fenced in orchard where he loves to run. “ said former foster mom, Stephanie.
Run Ripley, Run!
