Most important things for a new family to know about me:

1. I love and need to get lots of running exercise.

2. I’m very affectionate and love to cuddle.

3. I am kind of timid and definitely submissive.

4. I am well trained and am fine being out in the house, not in a crate.

5. I would love to have my new person around much of the time.


Hello! I’m MAGGIE, a 5-year-old, purebred GSP. As you can see, I am very trim and, actually,

quite svelte! I Iive with my mom and another smaller dog, a terrier, who is pretty much a

dominant dog. Mom says I am submissive which is a good thing because my housemate can be

aggressive. But even more important, Mom just doesn’t have time to give me the attention and

exercise I really want and need.

I know basic obedience commands like sit, come, and off. I am also leash trained and crate

trained and, of course, house broken. But I have never been hunt trained so am not a formal

hunter. I do love to explore and chase birds and squirrels, though. I am kind of shy and timid

around other dogs. And even though I do live with another dog, I think I would be fine without

one in my new family. Or maybe a male would be fine, just not a female who has a strong

personality and is dominant. And I probably should not live with a cat either. I will chase and

chase one of those and the cat wouldn’t be happy with that!

During the day I spend a lot of time outside but when I’m inside, I am free in the house, not

crated. Even when my mom is gone, I have the run of the house unless she’s gone for more

than a few hours. At night I am in the house, of course, and where do I sleep? In my mom’s

words, “Anywhere she likes!”

I don’t have a lot of bad habits other than sometimes jumping up when I’m excited and barking

at the door. If I’m bored, I might dig but just a little. But for the most part I am a very happy

little girl. I am so friendly and playful and very affectionate, VERY affectionate. I am timid, yes,

but that makes me very gentle as well. My mom is right. I do want to get lots of exercise and I

crave attention. Other than running and exploring, there is nothing I like more than to cuddle

with someone, especially my mom.

I understand that veterinary care and procedures will be paid for by Mile

High GSP Rescue only with pre-approval of those procedures and care.

I understand that it will be my responsibility to take the foster dog in my care to veterinary appointments for basic vetting as well as for any vetting needs that arise unexpectedly (such as but not limited to illnesses, accidents, emergencies)If the medical procedure or care needed is a result of negligence or mishandling of the foster dog, I will be financially responsible for the veterinary care. In addition, Mile High GSP Rescue will be financially responsible only for the rescue dog’s vet bills. Should my own pet(s) need medical attention due to interaction with said rescue dog (e.g. dog fight, contracted ailment), I am responsible for my own pet’s(s’) medical bills.

General Care and Well-being of Foster Dog

While the above named dog is in my foster care, I will provide a loving,

nurturing home environment for him/her, just as I do or would with my own

dog. If I mistreat, neglect or abuse the dog in any way, Mile High GSP Rescue will immediately remove the dog from my care.


The above named dog will reside in my home, not outside as a residential dog. Mile High GSP Rescue will provide a leash and collar for the foster dog who will be placed in my care. Rabies and I.D. tags will also be provided. It is my responsibility to insure that the foster dog will wear the collar with attached tags at all times. Mile High GSP Rescue will also provide food for the dog while he/she is in my care.


If I leave town or am otherwise unable to care for the foster dog for a short period of time, I will notify the rescue which will help to determine the best temporary home for the dog.


If the dog is lost or stolen, I will contact Mile High GSP Rescue immediately.


I agree to provide the rescue with photos of this dog as well as offer input in the writing of his or her bio to help the rescue find the most appropriate,

loving home for this dog.

Mile High GSP Rescue has the sole responsibility and right to adopt the above named foster dog to a new owner. I may not rehome the dog independently of the rescue. The rescue will, however, ask for my input and recommendations when placing the above named foster dog in a new home.


If, after fostering the above named dog, I want to adopt the dog, I will become one of the potential adopters. If the rescue decides to adopt the dog to me, I will pay the adoption fee established by Mile High GSP Rescue. In lieu of a full adoption fee, I have the option of adopting the foster dog while continuing to foster dogs for Mile High GSP Rescue. The Rescue and I will make that decision jointly and the rescue will determine the adoption fee.
