Mile High German Shorthaired Pointer Rescue

🐾Adoptable Jinx 🐾
3.5 yr old neutered male GSP
LOOKING FOR A FOSTER/FOSTER TO ADOPT OR FOREVER FAMILY IN
📍COLORADO📍

Always wanted to snuggle up with a Shetland pony on your couch, but couldn't deal with their sassiness? Jinx might be perfect for you! He is a hunk of a boy at 80lbs, but he is a sweetheart and gentle giant.

Poor Jinx was rescued from a terrible situation in Utah, he was being attacked incessantly by another male in the household (NB: he is a gentle soul, he was not the instigator and never retaliated) leaving him bleeding and terrified. His owner did not have the resources to help him, so with the help of amazing volunteers, we rescued him and had him vetted and neutered.

Jinx is being fostered in Colorado by a fantastic family who is besotted with him, but their work and travel schedule is changing at the start of June, so Jinx needs to find his forever family or be placed in a new foster home.

ABOUT ME:

I am a lovebug; a really gentle soul who will be loyal and loving companion. I am an all-round good boy with no vices, and I think I am the perfect age for civilized society since I am out the other side of my puppyhood and teenage years.

My foster parents have taught me the commands “come, here, sit, stay, down, off, wait, no, away". I am a star student (if I do say so myself) and am food motivated. I have already lost 10lbs in my foster home and will need my new family to manage my food and exercise so I can work on having a health waistline.

I’m pretty good on leashed walks but I love to snoop and explore so I can get a bit distracted and might forget that I am the size of a small pony! You can see the scars from other dogs attacking me around my eyes and ears, and you can see the emotional scars when big dogs approach me as I tend to freeze. My foster parents have been using positive reinforcement and high value treats to help me be brave, and it is important that my new family is gentle and can understand how to help me build confidence. I enjoy hikes and would love a family who can help me work on my recall so I can enjoy running off leash.

I love watching birds and squirrels all day in the sun. I don’t jump fences, but I supervise everyone going and occasionally saying "hi" with my best voice. I can safely be left for a couple of hours with free roam in the house, I will chill out on my bed or sunbathe on the porch. I enjoy having chew toys and although I might shred my own toys, I know shoes are off limits! I am an opportunist when it comes to counter surfing, so best to keep human treats out of my reach.

My absolute favorite hobby is snuggling on the couch with my family; I really LOVE quality time with my humans. In the evenings, I’ll take myself off to sleep in the dog bed or doggy blanket pile at the foot of the bed.

I am looking for a family who can give me love and attention and wants me to be a core part of their lives. I need daily exercise including regular off leash hikes, a fenced yard for sunbathing and wildlife patrols, and I might enjoy a canine companion, provided that they are smaller well-adjusted female.
