Sport - Adopted

Updated: Mar 23




Most important things to know about me:

1) I am a very sweet, mild mannered GSP.

2) I want to have a lot of off-leash running exercise, almost every day(large, fenced area or fields, trails)

3) I get along great with other dogs.

4) I’m obedient and respond well to gentle correction.

5) I love being with my people (like most GSPs)

6) I’m very affectionate and love attention.

I’m SPORT and I’m here in Colorado, ready for my brand-new family! I came from Arizona and not very much is known about my background. But that’s OK because my foster family and the rescue have learned so muchabout me since I’ve been in the rescue. And they all seem to like me, a lot. I am a purebred GSP and they think I’m just over 2 years old.

Like most GSPs, I am pretty energetic. I absolutely LOVE being outside to run and sniff but I’m just as happy inside on my dog bed after I have run and run. I am good on a training collar but I recall very well with verbal commands as well as with the collar. Currently, I live with 2 other GSPs and the 4-year-old and I really enjoy running together. I did chase a rabbit once but came back quickly once I was recalled. We run in an awesome field beyond their 4-foot fence which I haven’t challenged but that’s because the other two dogs don’t challenge it either. I will also walk on leash and will heal most of the time but I would so much rather run off leash with my house GSP buddy. I also love chasing a tennis ball and will give it back if you want to take it from my mouth. I am really good at that! Indoors, I am pretty chilled out. I love having a dog bed or two to sprawl out on to or snuggle in tight, especially after a good run. I like toys, both stuffed toys and very hard toys that I play with and chew on. So, much of the day I am in the house and at night I have been sleeping in a crate. During the day, my Foster Dad has spent quite a bit of time with training and I’m learning a lot from him: Come, Sit, Stay, Lie down, and Potty. My manners are really good except . . . like many GSPs, I am very food driven so I do want to counter cruise! But I am responsive to correction.

My Foster Mom and Dad tell me that I am a really good boy. They say I have a very sweet personality and am also very affectionate. In fact, both of them have told the rescue that I am quite a wonderful dog. I am great with other dogs and, although they don’t have children, they think I would be just fine with them because of my mild temperament. Although I am not really rambunctious like many GSPs, I am a big boy so I might knock over a small child. Most of all, I want to be with my person/people. My Foster Mom and Dad are around most of the time and they give me lots of attention, just like their own dogs. So, if the people in my new family are not around much of the time, I think I would be pretty lonely, especially without at least one other dog so we could keep each other company.

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.

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.
