The GSPC-OC is comprised of dedicated GSP dog lovers in private
homes; none have commercial kennels or boarding facilities available to house the ever-increasing numbers of
rescues needing new homes. Our GSP Club is based in Orange County (Southern California), and the majority of our
members reside in urban areas where city regulations limit household dog numbers, restricting us from
keeping rescues. The reality is that Shelters and Rescue groups are already overflowing with dogs in desperate need of homes.
Therefore, we ask the owners of dogs needing placement to make every effort to find suitable homes for their dogs BEFORE placement
is urgent. We are willing to advise, refer and assist them with this process, and will post pictures and information
about the dogs on our website free of charge, sending out updates to our members and volunteers for new postings.
If you got your dog from a responsible breeder (who will care about
it and take it back anytime in its lifetime), honor your agreement and contact the breeder first for
help. Don't let your dog suffer because you may be embarrassed by your situation requiring you to give the dog up.
Otherwise, always spay/neuter your dog before placement! It is the only certain way to be sure it (and its
descendents) won't end up in a puppyfarm!
If you need to find a home for your GSP, there are excellent
resources on the web on how to do so. This Chow Chow Welfare Committee website offers great advice on what to do
with a dog of their breed, but the same advice is applicable to responsibly finding a home for any breed of dog:

GSPC-OC Rescue Listings are limited to apparently purebred GSP dogs to be place as household
companions, in private homes only, and must be spayed or neutered. The owner/agent of
the rescue dog to be posted must agree to disclose any and all known behavior or health problems of the rescue dog, and
represent it truthfully as to the circumstances of its rescue situation. The GSPC-OC is not responsible for verifying
any information about posted dogs. We can also post 'Lost & Found' GSP dog ads with pictures for
you if your GSP goes missing, or if you have found one.
GSPC-OC Rescue Volunteer Advisors
Our volunteers may be contacted by email anytime, or by
telephone between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 8:30 p.m., PST. If you leave a message for a volunteer,
please give your contact number(s) and email address clearly, and they will respond as soon as they are able to
your request for assistance. If your number requires toll or long distance charges for the volunteer, the
GSP Rescue volunteer advisor may call you back collect.
