We find that GSPs come to us through a variety of circumstances, so we will be here to offer advice and support as we understand that the decision to rehome a GSP is often a heart breaking one. We are able to offer emergency support in urgent cases and recognise the need for discretion in assisting you. When rehoming a GSP, we look at the dog's needs first and foremost. We look at the type of life that suits that particular GSP; to us, every GSP is an individual and we aim to match them with the closest to a perfect home that we can. We will also give that GSP and their owner a lifetime of support. If a change in circumstances means that it needs a new home at any time, we will be there to once again assist in rehoming the GSP. While looking to offer a home to one of our GSPs, please don't get upset if we say that you aren't suitable for a specific GSP. We may be looking for a certain way of life for that GSP and unfortunately you might not be able to offer that certain element. However, you might be perfect for a different GSP in the rescue or even the next GSP to come in to our rescue. After looking at the GSP's needs, we then look at your needs as an adopter. We are committed to ensuring every prospective adopter is treated with respect and kept informed along the journey of adoption. You will be treated on an individual basis, depending on whether you have a family or another dog, what level of experience with our breed that you have and your daily routine. We want the best possible match for both the GSP and the new adopters. Our support will not stop at the adoption and we will give on going support and advice while we are needed. We will also aim to put the new adopter in contact with a local to them GSP trainer and club. This is to assist with the ongoing training and support, for both the new owners and their GSP, with someone who understands and has extensive knowledge of our breed. These organisations have our details and are aware of how our rescue works. GSP Rescue UK respects that there are other organisations which rehome GSPs both in the UK and overseas. The nature of our organisation and the requirements of the Charities’ Commission require us to collaborate willingly with these organisations to support improved welfare of the breed. We look forward to working with you on the welfare of this wonderful breed. GSP Rescue UK team
