April 2026 Archie is a very handsome 5 year old male who’s finding life with two children under 3 years and a house move, very stressful. His owners feel that the household has become too loud and chaotic for him and they no longer have the time to constantly redirect and exhaust him with canine enrichment activities . Archie has shown obsessive behaviours with the need to chase the light reflections (e.g. sunlight coming through the curtains, reflection from a phone or metal, etc.). He whines and jumps at them, sometimes barking. They think it was triggered by a laser their son was playing with in a car, but this only lasted 5 minutes until they realised it was causing an issue, so are only guessing that this could be to blame. He is raw fed due to allergies according to a specialist, but he only ever tested for environmental factors. It’s believed that he’s allergic to dust mites and this improved massively when his owners changed the carpets to hard floors. Archie is fine to be left for a few hours with access to the hallway and landings and after exercise he happily snoozes on his bed. He is fine at home with a cat but will chase out in a walk. With other dogs on a walk he can be unpredictable, most of the time he is okay but his owner doesn’t let him engage in play as he can take it too far on times. He has a good recall to his owner and to his dog walker 3 short whistles/peeps with one long one to lay down. He also knows sit, down, touch and catch. Ocassionally, he won't like a dog his owner explains and particularly disliked a Vizsla that used to live near them. Since he was a puppy Archie has been living with young children aged 3 months, 2 years and 11 years, when the children are around he gets very over excited starts barking and chasing looking anxious. Archie has stayed with family members who were older and calmer and he thrived, he was more relaxed and settled quickly. With this in mind we will be looking for a calmer child free home - possibly with visiting children, potentially home workers or part time workers. A week ago Archie tore his tendon so is spending time resting/healing in his crate. The vets have considered giving him a mild sedative to relax him while he’s resting because of his light/shadow fixation. If you feel you could offer this handsome fella a calmer environment please contact us. Archie is currently in the Oxford area and will be rehomed with his 5 weeks free Agria insurance and his Adoption Contract. GSP Rescue UK Terms and Conditions apply

She will bark and will not approach them.With people she trusts, she likes to be close to you. She can be an overly affectionate dog, loves to sit on you and she does like the company.When Bella is out in the garden she will react to all noises. If there are dogs in the neighbouring garden or children out playing. She would suit a more rural enviroment where there is less noise and distractions. She would benefit from a large enclosed garden as she loves to run around and expel some of her energy.When out walking she has been known to react to other dogs, barking with the occasional lunge, however this is through fear and she has been successfully introduced to other dogs in the past. We would advise her being the only dog in the home.Bella does show some resource guarding behaviour, mainly towards high value objects like bones and new toys. She will need a confident handler to help overcome and manage this.She has been brought up with children all her life but due to her issues we feel she may need an adult only home moving forward.Bella would benefit from an owner with experience with reactive and nervous dogs.

Are you right for Bobby?Meet Bobby, a friendly and fun loving Pointer cross who is full of energy and would thrive in a active home. He’s looking for a family who can give him plenty of exercise, including long walks, adventures and lots of time and attention. Bobby has been friendly with everyone here at the centre but is a boisterous and excitable boy so would do best in a home with upper secondary children. He has been housetrained and whilst has spent short periods alone we recommend this is gradually built up slowly as he settles in as he can feel anxious at times. Bobby can be frustrated when meeting dogs out on walks and has been working on his social skills here at the centre however he isn't ready to share his home just yet. It's important Bobby can have access to quieter areas for his walkies and would love access to a secure field where he can safely burn off his energy!Is Bobby right for you?Bobby is a real whirlwind of energy who loves to be kept busy and stay on the go! If you're looking for a new bestie who can share all your adventures, enjoy lots of long walks before returning home to have snuggles on the sofa Bobby might be just what you're looking for. His new family will need to commit to his ongoing training, but with his clever brain we're sure he'll make lots of positive progress.

Feb 2026 - things are URGENT for Boomer because his owner is soon moving to council accommodation that won’t allow dogs.Boomer is a friendly 4 year old boy who we rehomed 2.5 years ago. Sadly, his dad now has a few health issues that mean he cannot give him the time and exercise that he needs, so we are looking for a NEW HOME for him. If you are interested in helping him after reading his details, please email us on gsprescueuk@gmail.com . If you’ve already sent a form in – please still let us know if you are interested in Boomer.Boomer is a lovely, excitable boy who loves human interaction. In his current home he has become VERY attached to his dad. He is rarely left alone and does not cope well; he barks if left, even for very short times, like in a car, and can cause some damage. Even if he is with other people, he will bark and not settle, constantly looking for dad.Due to his dad’s mobility issues he isn’t getting out running as much as he used to. He’s an energetic dog and needs a home with experience of training, and an owner who wants to do something like mantrailing, agility or canicross with him. He needs lots of stimulation and structured training, more than your average pet dog. He used to have OK recall and knew some commands, like ‘come’ and ‘close’ and had some whistle recall, but that is weaker now, possibly due to him not having as much input as he needs.He needs a home where he does not need to be left alone. Ideally a home with someone experienced in dealing with separation anxiety, who can help him improve with management and training, and to be more flexible. He needs a very secure garden – he will jump fences, and out of windows, if he is looking for his dad! He has attended doggy day care but he doesn’t settle well, so this isn’t necessarily helping him. He’s great with children but is very clumsy, knocking toddlers over, so older children would be OK. He’s also great with other dogs.A bit of his history- Boomer has already had two previous homes. In his first post-puppy home he was with a family with four children aged from 1 to 13 years old. With work and four children, those owners didn’t have time to work on any training with him, so he was rehomed within the family to his second home, at 7 months. His second owner then had to move home and lived in a busy house on a farm. Even though he was with four other dogs, he couldn’t be left at all. He escaped from the farm a few times, when left, so his owner made the sad decision to rehome him – he was around 18 months old. Living on that farm meant he saw cats and livestock lots. He was curious but didn’t chase (however his current owner says he now chases).Boomer is a healthy, active boy. He has a few bumps on his legs from being clumsy but none cause issues. He eats good quality kibble that helps settle his stomach. He is neutered. He currently sleeps on his dad’s bed. He travels OK in a car.Boomer is currently near Arundel/Chichester. If you think you could give this boy his forever home, where you can continue to work on his general training and separation anxiety, then please email us on gsprescueuk@gmail.com. Boomer will be rehomed with Agria 5 weeks insurance, under our Adoption Contract and GSP Rescue UK terms and conditions apply.

Buddy is a very handsome 5-year-old GSPxESS and a lovely smaller size at around 23kg. This affectionate boy is looking for a new home where he can enjoy plenty of companionship due to his separations anxiety and where he can continue to thrive. Buddy absolutely loves people and being part of the family. He is a friendly, gentle boy who enjoys nothing more than spending time with his humans. He currently lives with an 8-month-old baby and is calm and relaxed around her, happily sharing the sofa with his owners while she is nearby and accepting gentle strokes. He has also spent time with visiting children aged 5 and 3. While he can sometimes be a little cautious at first, he enjoys joining in when they play with toys or feeding games, and he is very happy around older children and visiting adults.Buddy enjoys his walks and exploring the outdoors. He walks nicely on a harness and lead and loves having the opportunity to run and explore. Due to his reactivity around other dogs, he is only let off lead when the park is clear of other dogs or when visiting private dog parks where he can enjoy the space safely. His recall is generally good, especially to “Buddy come” or a whistle, although like many gundog crosses he can occasionally be distracted by exciting wildlife such as squirrels or birds. Buddy can be reactive around other dogs, particularly unfamiliar or excitable male dogs. He tends to do best with calm dogs who respect his space and he is comfortable with dogs he already knows well – he regularly stays with a friend who has a male dog and does well there. However, he can feel uncomfortable if dogs rush up to him, and around three years ago he did attack a male dog while on a group walk with a dog walker. With careful management and the right introductions, Buddy can happily coexist with the right canine companions.Buddy’s owners have worked hard to support him with his separation anxiety using the Julie Naismith training approach alongside veterinary-prescribed Fluoxetine, and this helped him build up to being left for up to two hours. Since the arrival of their baby, they have not been able to continue the training as consistently and Buddy has taken a step back in his progress, which is why the difficult decision has been made to find Buddy a new home where he can continue progressing with the time and support he needs. Buddy can sometimes feel a little anxious when travelling in the car, although he also becomes very excited when he recognises familiar destinations.Buddy is currently based in the Leeds area and is looking for a loving new home where he can enjoy lots of company, patience and understanding. In return, he will offer plenty of affection, loyalty and companionship. Buddy will be rehomed with 5 weeks’ free Agria insurance and an Adoption Contract. GSP Rescue UK Terms and Conditions apply.

Buzz is a very handsome 27kg, 4 year old who’s owners have made the decision to find him a new home because he has been snappy with them both in the past and with a toddler around they don’t feel that they trust him. He has never been anything but wonderful with the little one, even when she’s trying to take something out of his mouth or play with him. With the teenager he’s also been great until this week when he growled at him for the first time, which was sad because Buzz normally adores him and follows him everywhere and they can often be found having a rough and tumble game together. There has been issues in the past where his owner has tried to get him off the bed and he snapped at her, she left the room and went back in and Buzz’s growled. Buzz then got off and went into the teenagers room and was perfectly polite and happy again. The next day Buzz stole a jumper of the baby’s and resourse guarded it. When he was fed up with it he dropped it and walked away. His owners say he’s always been a bit like this. He is good with visitors but does jump up on them when they arrive, he can also jump up on his owners and the 14 year old. Buzz loves going camping most weekends with the family and on hot days is happy going to air-conditioned shopping centres where he behaves perfectly. He’s also visited dog friendly cafes and restaurants and again behaved beautifully.He does love to cuddle and will most nights try and get on his owners knee and can be very affectionate and is protective of them. He loves playing ball games or flirt pole in the garden, he responds well to commands such as sit, lay, paw, spin, roll and wait. They also play find it where they get him to sit and wait then hide treats around the house or garden and tell him to find it and he’ll sniff them all out, he will also do this on a walk if they take a bag of treats and scatter them for him. When they moved house there was a large trampoline in the garden which Buzz instantly took to. They couldn’t get rid of it because Buzz liked to get on top of it and sunbathe and if they give him a bone he will take it on top of the trampoline to eat. They always refer to it as Buzz’s trampoline. He is brilliant with other dogs and has a dog walker who takes him out with multiple dogs, he plays with family members dog absolutely fine. The family had help from a behaviourist and were impressed at Buzz’s instant respect for the trainer. Buzz was amazing with him, but at home when they tried to copy those techniques Buzz didn’t show them the same level of respect. They also took him to puppy classes when he was much younger and he loved that. Buzz hasn’t lived with cats but is just curious when he sees them. Around livestock he is always on lead because his owners believe that he could chase. They usually use long line to his harness on walks because he doesn’t have a reliable recall. He also wears a figure of eight or a slip lead. He is a healthy, neutered boy from working bloodlines, he has had a fatty lump checked on his neck and it has been confirmed as nothing sinister by the vet. He can also be left on his bed in the kitchen for 4/5 hours after exercise and is a great traveller, when they go anywhere he settles down and sleeps or gazes out of the window. Buzz is currently in the Barnsley area and will be rehomed with his 5 weeks free Agria Insurance and his Adoption Contract. If you feel you can work with this lovely lad please contact us.

13/12/25 Lovely Cookie needs to move to a new home asap, even though we know that the timing isn’t perfect. Cookie now renamed Oscar is looking for a new home he has been in his new home for two months and in that time he has made lots of improvements and settled very well. In an area without too many scents his recall is now very good, he does range after scents in more exciting areas but does also know where you are to come back to. Oscar has bonded quickly with his male owner and does suffer with separation anxiety when he’s away from Oscar, which is understandable after such a short time. He’s a very gentle, loving boy who enjoys lots of fuss and sofa cuddles. Very sadly he is now looking for a new home because yesterday while out walking after a really lovely walk he nipped a delivery man that was bending down to lift a parcel back into the van. Luckily he didn’t break the skin or damage his high viz jacket but with this being so out of character with Oscar his owners say that they’ve lost confidence in him and would like us to move him as soon as possible. So we are ideally looking for a new home but would consider an experienced foster home for lovely Oscar who has also now been neutered. Oscar is currently in the Moreton-in -Marsh area. If you feel that you can help Oscar please contact us. October 2025 Cookie is a very handsome 6 year old male GSP who has been rescued from an unpleasant situation along with his great friend Magic who is 4 years believed to be a stunning GSPxLabrador The lady that rescued them has been assessing them in different environments but they will both need to find homes as a matter of urgency either together or separately with people around for company.Cookie is a very friendly, happy boy, he isn’t a fan of his crate when you are in the house and will whine for you to let him out for cuddles, but has been happy being crated overnight, he has good house manners and appears to be happy to be in multidog household. He has been walked through a small town which was busy with people, children and other dogs and all he was interested in was the pigeons. He was trying to be polite and well mannered but his excitement at these surroundings sometimes got the better of him and he could pull, but when corrected he responded well and learned quickly. He appears to have a good recall but this hasn’t been completely tested because of the length of time he’s been in rescue, so he’s currently on a long line which again he seems happy with. There are videos available of the both boys hopefully in the comments below. Today Cookie has met some children while out and about and even though it’s only been a very short time in this home his experienced handler has no concerns about him with his balanced and calm demeanour. He’s also met horses grazing on the mountain which didn’t phase him or cause him any upset or interest. Cookie was also very good at the vets which was very busy in the waiting area and he allowed the vet nurse to handle him and scan his chip all without any issues or concerns. His handler has already established in a very short space of time that he is a real character, a loving boy with a very mischievous personality, he is able to open doors, gates and cupboards all with a practiced ease and skill. He easily jumped a 5’ gate but he did return immediately when called back by the whistle, so a secure garden will be needed for this gorgeous lad. He is vaccinated from 16/09/25 with upto date flea and worm treatments, he isn’t yet neutered and that will be done by us as part of our Adoption Contract. He travels very well and has shown no issues being crated in a vehicle. Cookie is currently near Abergavenny and will be rehomed with his 5 weeks free Agria Insurance and his Adoption Contract. If you feel you can give this lovely lad the life he deserves please contact us. GSP Rescue UK Terms and Conditions apply.

Are you right for Dorothy?This lovely lady is Dorothy! She is a 6 year old German Pointer Crossbreed who is looking for an adult only home that will take her on plenty of walks, and give her lots of attention. Dorothy gets along well with other dogs, and so could potentially share her new home with an existing dog. This requires a dog meet here at the Centre. We do not have any history of her experience around other pets, but this can be discussed with our rehoming team. Dorothy can cope well with being left alone in the home, but absolutely loves as much human company as she can get!Is Dorothy right for you?Dorothy is a very playful girl with humans and other dogs! She is curious and loves to sniff out all the new smells on her walks, which she will need plenty of. She is a strong girl on the lead, but she has so much fun running about in secure areas, or on a loose lead to burn some more of her energy. Overall, Dorothy is an easy going girl in the home, and brings out the perfect amount of fun on her adventures. She can't wait to show off her loving personality to her adopter!

Dorothy is a 6-year-old pointer cross looking for a calm, understanding home where she can feel safe and settled. She is very much an indoor dog who loves comfort and being close to her people. Dorothy is an extremely sociable girl who enjoys the company of other dogs and would likely thrive in a home with canine companions and plenty of open space to explore. Dorothy can find busy environments overwhelming, particularly heavy traffic, busy roads and loud surroundings, so she is looking for a peaceful, quieter lifestyle. She absolutely enjoys walks in forests, along rivers, on beaches and in open spaces where she feels relaxed and comfortable. She is good with children, however we feel an older, calmer home would suit her best where her boundaries and need for peace can be respected. An ideal home for Dorothy could be somewhere rural or semi-rural, perhaps with a secure garden, open land or even a farm-style environment where she can enjoy life at a gentler pace alongside other dogs. She is a lovely, affectionate girl who simply needs the right environment to truly flourish ️

Beautiful Ebony has just turned 8 years of age. She is a healthy, gentle, affectionate girl who sadly is struggling after losing her mother, who she’s lived with her entire life a few months ago. She gets very anxious when left alone now and barks, whines and chews things. Her owner works full time and takes her to work where she stays in his van but she’s getting very stressed with this too. Her owners had to take her out for a meal recently where she had to stay in the car and they kept checking on her because she would have been even more stressed if left at home. Out on walks Ebony walks beautifully on lead and has a great recall to her owner calling her name. She also loves to play fetch and will play for ages. She can be unpredictable when meeting some dogs, possibly because she’s always had her mum around to do the introductions so feels threatened by some dogs so can growl and get snappy. She does visit a dog several nights a week and is very happy having the terrier around, even at bedtime with the terrier sleeping on the owners bed Ebony is happy to sleep in the bedroom on her own bed, they are great friends and the terrier who recently had puppies trusted Ebony to mother them and help take care of them, Ebony was a wonderful helper with them being very sweet and gentle with them. She’s is also an excellent traveller and is very happy with her people in the car. She hasn’t been around small children but with the teenagers she sees regularly she’s lovely and will very happily snooze of an evening with her head on their laps on the sofa. She does love affection and sofa cuddles and her owner says that she would cuddle on the sofa all day given the chance. Ebony doesn’t like cats and would chase, she hasn’t met livestock so her reactions are unknown. She’s fed kibble once a day and her owner says that she isn’t fussy and will eat anything. If you have the time to spend with this lovely girl and a sofa big enough for cuddles please contact us Ebony is currently in Builth Wells and will be rehomed with her 5 weeks free Agria insurance and her Adoption contract.
