GSP Rescue New England is an all-volunteer organization committed to finding loving, permanent homes for German Shorthaired Pointers in need.
10 1/2 year old Chanterelle is a lovely, active dog who needed to be rehomed due to changing family circumstances. In fantastic shape, 52 pound Chanterelle can leap over baby gates, run tirelessly in the yard, and will walk as long as you want. She is perfectly house trained and will whine and pace if she needs to go out. She never barks and is quiet in the house.
She is crate trained but has run of the house with her foster brothers and sisters and does just fine. She lives with both genders and all ages. She loves to ride in the car and curls up in the back seat-she jumps into and out of her foster dad's truck with ease. She sleeps well through the night and LOVES to burrow under a blanket at the foot of the people bed. She's affectionate and has great personality without being clingy or under foot all the time.

Ruby is a true success story. She was in the care of a small rescue in Arkansas. She was fearful, shy and afraid of just about everything. The rescuer fell ill, so she desperately needed a place to go. With so many GSPs in need in the region, her options were limited. GSP Rescue New England found a foster, and she was transported to New England.
Ruby remained in foster care for quite some time. Given her extreme shyness, many adopters passed on her. But, her patience paid off, big time! She found a wonderful family, willing to work through her fearfulness with patience, kindness and lots of love.

From the author of The Everything Dog Book and The Everything Puppy Book comes both a memoir and guidebook about THE dog and the lessons of a lifetime. In 10 SECRETS MY DOG TAUGHT ME: Life Lessons from a Man's Best Friend (Rodale; October 5, 2005; $12.95) Carlo de Vito shares the stories and sangfroid of Exley, part time teacher and full time puppy-and truly his best friend.
Carlo DeVito, a somewhat wild, somewhat irresponsible, entirely devoted dog lover and 29-year-old New York City aspiring book editor rescued an incorrigible German Shorthaired Pointer, who he named Exley, while living in Park Slope, Brooklyn.
From bachelorhood to adulthood, from life in the big city to survival in the suburbs, DeVito not only learns devotion and patience, through Exley, but also that you can fall in love at first sight, that obedience does bring greater freedom, and that no one minds kindness or undivided attention.
"It had been Exley's job to raise me," writes DeVito. "All that time we had been having fun, going for walks, getting into trouble, being companions and friends in some great adventure. And I had spent so much time teaching him to sit, stay, lie down, roll over. But all along, he had been teaching me. It is the child that makes the man, and in this case it was a dog. All along it had been the dog doing the teaching, not me. How do you like that? And I love him for it to this day and will for the rest of my life."
Filled with engaging anecdotes, on-point quotes, and true reminders of how to live life the best way possible, 10 SECRETS MY DOG TAUGHT ME is a beautiful story of friendship, maturation, and love. More...
