National German Wirehaired Pointer Rescue

Finding homes for GWP's, 1 paw at a time. www.Nationalgwprescue.com (NGWPR) was developed in order to put that belief into action.

The officers and members of the German Wirehaired Pointer Club of America (GWPCA) believe that every German Wirehaired Pointer (GWP) deserves an appropriate, supportive and loving home and the National GWP Rescue, Inc. Sponsored and supported by the GWPCA, the American Kennel Club (AKC) parent club of the breed, NGWPR is committed to helping desperate and neglected Wires whenever and where ever po

ssible. National GWP Rescue is a nationwide rescue program whose volunteers work tirelessly to provide funding, foster homes, medical care and training for GWPs found in shelters, animal control facilities and to those GWPs whose current owners are unable to provide a suitable situation. The unstable economy has placed a strain on many families and has contributed to the unusually high number of GWPs currently in rescue. Feeling the impact of the financial downturn, animal shelters and rescue organizations throughout the United States are under—funded and over—burdened by the number of dogs and cats in their care. Oftentimes these facilities contact NGWPR and request assistance. Working hand—in—hand with governmental and local shelters, the Wirehearts Foster Care Network, provides a safe and responsible home for any GWP in need. Placed with an experienced GWPCA member—foster, GWPs that have been neglected, untrained or have medical issues quickly blossom as they are readied for their "forever" homes.

yesterday was another sad day for Rescue. Honestly, I’m glad the week is over. Many of you will remember the dogs we called the three amigos found in an abandoned outbuilding in Princeton, Minnesota. There were three dogs Ruby, four year-old female bow, a three-year-old male and Roscoe a two-year-old male, the dogs had lived in this filthy environment. There were dead rats in the water and rat tunnels all throughout the floor. There were live wires hanging from the ceiling and it is a miracle that the dog survived Aaron and Joe Yanish stepped up and fostered Ruby went to a wonderful woman in Kentucky, unfortunately a year and a half later she collapsed and passed away in the owners arms of what the vets suspected was a tumor. Roscoe went to a wonderful couple, Wes and Chf with a four-year-old boy. He quickly became potty, trained, and embraced family life. I received the message on Wednesday that Roscoe had been diagnosed with an aggressive cancer. his final car ride was Friday and he went for ice cream, which he loved and then onto the vet. He crossed over the rainbow bridge surrounded by loving family. His family is heartbroken. He was only six years old. He was a gentle soul who was good with dogs and cats. He’s surprised everyone. I do believe that the horrific living conditions that these dogs endured has something to do with their early deaths.

Saying goodbye to Roscoe
It has been an incredibly sad week for Rescue. First the loss of pebbles, then Turk and now Roscoe.
many of you will probably remember back in April 2021 I received a call from a man and his daughter who would purchased a piece of property in Princeton Minnesota. When they arrived to look at their new property, they entered an outbuilding and found two kennels containing three GWP’s . The dogs were in deplorable condition. The building was infested with rats. There was a dead one in the filthy water bucket. there were three GWP‘s Ruby four-year-old female bow a three-year-old male and their son Roscoe a two-year-old male their entire lives were spent in that building. Fortunately for Rescue Joe and Erin Yanish stepped up to Foster and got the dogs to safety. Ruby was adopted pretty quickly to an elderly woman in Kentucky she sadly passed a year and a half later. The vet suspected that she had a tumor which had ruptured and killed her almost instantly.
Roscoe was adopted by a wonderful family, Wes and Chelsie Thomas, who also had a four-year-old son. Honestly, I was reluctant to let him go to a family with a young child since Roscoe had no experience with children. I need not have worried because he embraced his new life soon he was joining their son for story time , Roscoe was good with their cats and wonderful with other dogs. I think he was grateful for every day he shared with his family on Wednesday. I received the message saying that Roscoe had an aggressive cancer on Friday after taking him for his favorite ice cream he crossed over the rainbow bridge. He was only six years old.
Please keep this wonderful family in your thoughts and prayers.

we are running out of time the owner of the hunting camp needs to return home. She had no luck catching the other two which means they are going to need to be trapped. Does anybody know the name of someone who can trap these two puppies? They are in rural area. No one will find them, and they will either starve to death or they will be killed by predators. I really need help! if we need to order traps, I can do that but I can’t be there so please call me 860-921-7827

The third pup you see in the second photograph is lever with a white beard, white chest, and white socks. this third pop may be L. and is absolutely terrified and will not approach for food. Victoria is going back tomorrow to try again and will let me know.

Mac is located in Fruitvale, British Columbia and needs an adopter or an emergency foster. Mac is three years old and overall he is a great dog. He is energetic, smart and driven. He loves to play fetch and he is excellent on the leash. When he was one and a half he was in a traumatic accident at the kennel. This accident resulted in multiple surgeries and the loss of behind leg. Mac does great as a tripod, but he has been through a lot in his short life. He needs an adult home no children. This is why he’s being rehomed. He is not good with the four-year-old in the house. if you can offer Mac a foster home or permanent home please reach out to Suzanne ASAP at 860-921-7827.

Addison update: I don’t even know where to begin. The first photo is Addison a couple years ago. The other photos are Addison today. The vet believes she is 4 yrs old. Clearly her life has been horrific. She weighs 34 pounds so grossly underweight she has a horrible skin condition, discharge from her eyes and ear infection. I will never understand how somebody gets a puppy and ultimately does this to them. If the stories that we were told ate true she had beer poured down her throat. She was shocked extensively with the e collar and she was tied up to a tree outside left without food and water for days and the list goes on. Her first vet appointment was today and the Foster walked out with an arsenal of medication‘s. I guess the good news is she does not have heartworm nor does she have any tick borne diseases. She will be bathed weekly in a special shampoo, she is on steroids and antibiotics and a good nutrition plan. When Addison is well, she will be available for adoption. Despite what happened to her she is super sweet. she has not yet shown any interest in playing with the other dogs or any interest in toys. Hopefully as she recovers, she will learn that life can be fun. somehow I thought that at some point, I would stop crying over these dogs, but this one has really gotten to me. Asking for prayers that she recovers fully and gets into a loving home.

update thank you to everybody who has given so far we are just over halfway to our goal of $5000. Please keep giving so that she could have the surgery she needs in December.

Joanne Marcine adopted our precious 1.5yr old girl, Greta. through the NGWPR and given her a wonderful forever home.
Greta came to the rescue as a stray who had been shot by a high powered rifle shattering her elbow.
She sat in the pound and then with a local rescue for more than 3 months with no medical attention. I received a call from the small rescue that had Greta asking if we could take her and another dog named Ruthann. We were told about the elbow injury and we know that she did not have proper medical attention.
The failure to provide medical pattention has left Greta with a damaged elbow, a painful arthritic joint and a limp due to limited extension of the limb. The truth is that Greta lives every day with pain.
Greta has seen a wonderful orthopedic specialist and she has recommended surgery to round off the head of the elbow socket to allow for fuller extension of the leg and a pain-free gait. This will give Grada a much better quality of life.
Her surgery is scheduled for the end of December and the estimate is between $4,000 and $5000. After surgery, she will need physical therapy which her adopter will handle. The good news is we have already received $1500 toward her surgery.
Together, I believe that we can raise the necessary funds to give Greta the life altering surgery that she deserves. If she was older, it might be different. However she is barely one and a half and has a long life ahead of her. She is also an exceptional patient and has been wonderful for every Vet and Clinic who has seen her. The holidays are coming and what better gift. Any and all donations are welcome and can be made through nationalgwprescue.com. Simply click on the donation tab.

meet Kosmo located in Los Angeles California. Kosmo is a three-year-old neutered male. He is very active and it’s looking for a home where he will get lots of attention and exercise. He has no experience with children and definitely no cats. He would do well in a GWP experienced home as an only dog or with a female of similar size, if you would like to offer Kosmo a home, please call or text Suzanne 860-921-7827 or simply fill out an adoption application on our website nationalgwprescue.com

ADOPTED ❤️ 🐾 KARL Vom OHIO❣️ Mission Impossible ACCOMPLISHED,in two short, intense weeks! A wonderful woman named Bev who lives in the greater Dayton, Southwestern Ohio area messaged our orgGreene County Animal Care and Controly had a stray boy, a big lovable GWP. Ronald my husband had just arrived in Yellow Springs, just 15 minutes from the shelter in SW Ohio to visit his mom Dagmar and help her prepare for winter. He had also volunteered to help transport the NGWPR rescue Lincoln from Chicago to Akron about a 8 hour journey to rendezvous with a wonderful GWP second time adopter who lives in Pennsylvania. I told Ron what I saw about Karl online and he agreed… although a very precarious situation only being in Yellow Springs for a short visit-he said he would help Karl if NGWPR said we would work hard to place him right away (after all Ron has his own pack in California!) So I said “stay as long as you need to honey and help Karl I’ve got our home and pack- no worries!” I called Suzanne straight away! She looked online and said “well… it is indeed a GWP”. Flash bam bang‼️ I got on that phone ☎️ called the shelter and started official paperwork, and NGO documentation, the hustle, the bustle to break the big beautiful boy outta the joint! Karl had his neuter, my husband and mother-in-law prepared her home, and Karl just spent two loving weeks recovering, deworming, adjusting and bonding with Ron, mind you me still in California with our pack! Many positive comments on the Facebook postings I made about Karl being available in Ohio for adoption. Suzanne and another volunteer warned me that “Ohio is like a dark spot on the national map for adoption and foster 🤷🏽‍♀️ for GWP’s.” Being a born Ohioan it frustrated me hearing that mixed with all the negativity and national debate and news coverage on ‘eating dogs and cats in Springfield…’ sincerely I grew up in Cleveland, with the saying “Cleveland, yo

Karl von Ohio, Contact Emily @ 510.292.9078 to chat 🫶🏽 LOVE ❤️ 4 Karl!!

Meet Karl! Your New Best Friend! 🐾 Are you looking for a loyal companion to fill your days with love and laughter? Look no further than this affable handsome dude named Karl! The definition of an athletic Velcro dog. This adorable GWP is searching for a forever home where he can truly thrive! Karl is aprox. 3 years old and playful, affectionate, energetic outside but very calm indoors. He is 73 pounds, has intact full tail, he is in good shape, brown & white markings. Karl knows some basic commands like sit and come while inside house and he is very gentle with my 88 yo mother in law where he is being fostered right now e.g., he lays down next to her at dinner time! He loves to cuddle his stuffed toys, and loves to be pet and nuzzle your arm with his snout. He is good in the car. Karl is living in a short term foster home, in SW Ohio after being in a local animal shelter for about a month where he was very well cared for. He was turned in as a stray, yet clearly he knows what a home is- he is doing well! He would do best in a home with active people outdoorsy hoomans. He’s young and very strong! He will need to learn leash manners! He loves exploring and using his big nose! Karl appears to be house broken, knows some basic commands. He was friendly with the next door neighbor and her female dog. He was adored by the amazing staff at the shelter. Let it be known, like many GWPs Karl is very triggered by cats and squirrels but was indifferent to a deer in yard. So no CATS for Karl! Karl has been neutered as of yesterday he is up to date with vaccinations (except rabies- he will have this vax before placement) he is licensed in Greene Co. Ohio and microchipped. The vetranarian said he has some tartar and will need dental cleaning in future. If you're ready to open your heart and home to a wonderful healthy companion, please contact volunteer Emily at 510-292-9078. Let's find Karl the perfect family! The current foster (Emily’s husband and MIL) have onl

PREMARKETING KARL ❤️🇩🇪

PREMARKETING a boy named Karl… Hello GWP lovers… Do you remember my post yesterday about ‘the left coast 🏄’ well Imma let you in on a little secret… I was born in Akron O-H-I-♥️ (yep Lebron James and Steph Curry were too 🏀 and… my family is all there, and grew up in the 216, The CLE, you got it the Cleveland Browns baby 🏈, The Ohio State University… the best people on Earth.) It’s where I learned the values of loving and caring and hiking and swimming in the big lake, in nature with my dogs all.the.time. I dragged every dog I found home. Now, my husband landed in South Western Ohio as a military kid after being born in Germany 🇩🇪 spending his early life there. His 88 yo amazing mama- Dagmar still lives there in SW Ohio where… everyone has the sweetest softest different ‘twang going on. She however still speaks GERMAN every single day. So when we went ‘home’ last summer to help with hospice care for three long months we brought BIG Bubba Walther my rescued GWP and my little love Clancy the 15 yo. terrierista. Dagmar has saved periodicals from her life. She bounded upstairs then downstairs with a German lifestyle magazine from 1959. Yep. It was in perfect shape. Its cover, had a beautiful Drathaar in it, and she read the article translating it to me and the dogs. The lady loves all animals but really thought it was magnificent that we had rescued this beautiful German dog in California and he was helping us get through the tough situation of end of life care for my husbands dad. Fast forward. 🐾Yesterday, volunteering for Suzanne and NGWPR going through the many too many FB msgs. I spotted a message from a lady named Bev. It was a screenshot of a scared, beautiful young male GWP no less right around the corner from my MIL and my husband who is helping her wrap up fall chores and the home for winter. I thought, this is strannnngeee… 🤔 is this serendipity? Is the universe trying to tell me I should have traveled

Long Post… Happy PUPDATE (s): Yo, Emily here from the left coast (read on), volunteering my time to give you the scoop on SHERO's. These ladies are rocking the GWP rescue world, and I'm here for it! Stay tuned for a healthy dose of humor and badassery! 💕🦸🏻‍♀️🙌 🏄 🦸🏻‍♀️ #1 Suzanne Oslander… well enough said. Not only does this woman work full time but she spends every additional moment of her life rescuing GWPs across this country and running this nonprofit as a volunteer. 🐾 Does that sound exhausting? Let me tire you out 💤 a touch more… she also has, loves, and cares for 4 (yep!) of her own GWPs. If you know the breed, you know this lady is heroic with what appears to be endless energy! As of this morning she was able to raise the funds necessary for a young lady and her young severely injured GWP Luna in Nebraska. That’s incredible! Thanks to everyone of you who chipped in. I shed a happy tear listening to her when I told her reading messages that a kind person had made a large donation. She absolutely melted when I read her the message about helping Luna. 🦸🏻 #2 Kimberly-Mark … do you guys remember Newt the fluffy older GWP in Texas? Well… I started going through FB msgs and Kim caught my attention. She sounded quite amazing herself, then Suzanne sent me her application to check references, etc. I said to Kimberley ‘you realize that Newt is very far away from where you are right?’ She said ‘yes, she was willing to drive.’ I checked her references and while many references I check are glowingly positive for rescue GWPs Kim’s were HILARIOUS! Kim had 2 GWP females already and was willing to drive 8 hours to give Newt a home, in what sounds like dog Nirvana on her land! But… there was an issue… NO ONE WAS CALLING ME BACK with references! ☎️ 🤔 Her vet did take my call and said… Ms. Kimberly was an outstanding human and dog lover. I had to listen 👂🏾 closely, cause ya’ll there w
