Description
Dog Breed: German Shorthaired Pointer. Hades came to the shelter when his previous owners could no longer care for him, and he has handled the transition with grace and a gentle spirit. He is housetrained, walks nicely on leash, and knows basic obedience. He is food motivated and eager to please, which makes him both fun and easy to work with. In playgroups he has shown himself to be a stable and well mannered dog. He is submissive with other dogs, playful when invited, and calm when it is time to settle. He does well with dogs, other animals, and kids, and would truly thrive in a multi dog or multi animal home where he can be part of the family dynamic. We are unsure on how he is with cats at this time as he hasn't been tested. Hades enjoys a good game of fetch and loves spending time with his people. He is gentle, affectionate, and has earned the reputation of being a shelter staff favorite thanks to his sweet personality and A+ behavior. This wonderful boy is ready for a loving home where he can continue to shine. If you are looking for a loyal, well rounded companion who is equal parts playful and calm, Hades may just be your perfect match. Hades was rescued from a shelter in New Mexico. Meet and greets are by appointment only. An approved application is required to schedule a meeting. Check out our events page for upcoming open adoption events!

Approved Applicants may make the adoption fee payment by clicking donate above. Partial adoption fees will not hold a dog. If upon meeting the dog of your choosing at your scheduled pickup time you find that you aren't a good match, your deposit will be fully refunded. Adoption fees include vaccines up until time of adoption, microchip, spay/neuter and 1st 30 days of free pet insurance. We are not affiliated with MetLife pet insurance. (you have to sign up for the insurance or it will not go into effect). Adoption fees help cover the medical care of the animals while he or she waits for a new home, as well as food and transportation costs. These fees help to provide care for the other animals in the shelter or rescue group who may have medical bills that are much higher than any possible adoption fee. The money also acts as a donation to help support the organization as a whole, allowing the group to continue its efforts to rescue and rehome pets. The dogs in our care are fostered in Colorado, Texas, and New Mexico. While all dogs are picked up during our scheduled times, sometimes transport dates change due to unforeseen circumstances.

Overview:
The German Shorthaired Pointer (GSP) is a versatile and elegant sporting breed, originating in 19th-century Germany where it was developed for hunting various game. Physically, GSPs are known for their athletic build, sleek coat (typically liver or liver and white), and intelligent, expressive eyes. They possess a strong, muscular physique that enables them to excel in diverse activities. Temperamentally, GSPs are energetic, intelligent, and highly trainable, making them excellent companions for active individuals or families. Their loyal and affectionate nature means they thrive on human interaction, but their high energy levels necessitate ample daily exercise to prevent boredom or destructive behaviors. While adaptable, their need for space and activity generally makes them less suitable for small apartment living unless their exercise requirements are exceptionally well-met. Regarding health, GSPs are a relatively robust breed, though they can be prone to certain conditions like hip and elbow dysplasia, eye conditions, and certain cancers. Responsible breeding and regular veterinary check-ups are crucial for maintaining their well-being.
