Duke. is an eight-year-old neutered male located in Wellston Ohio. Duke is the dog that was imported from the Ukraine. He was found in the war zone so this boy has been through a lot in his life. He is the sweetest dog ever and his tail is in constant motion. He loves everybody. He did not have great manners when he came to us however he is doing wonderful now with obedience and he is also crate trained. We know that Duke is not good with male dogs. If you can offer Duke a retirement home please call or text Suzanne 860-921-7827 or simply complete 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

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!
