Last September, 175 hunting dogs were seized for cruelty and neglect in South Dakota. The dogs seized were GWPs, GSPs, Weims, Vizslas and Brittanys. Within a couple weeks of the seizure, 37 females whelped another 150+ puppies. These poor dogs until now have been in legal limbo. The numbers are tentative and fluctuate daily, but we know there are atleast 12 adult GWPs that need help.
GWPRescue Inc. and East Coast GWP Rescue Inc., are working together to help save these wirehairs in need. Our two organizations are doing the majority of GWP rescue in the country, these 12+ dogs pose a great strain on our resources as we are being overrun by other GWPs in shelters and owner relinquishes. We do not receive any outside support and rely on individual donations to continue our rescue efforts. An estimated cost for vetting, supplies, transportation costs is exceeding $900/dog.
East Coast GWP Rescue has been generously donated the space to temporarily house the 10 dogs coming East. Once they have been evaluated and vetted, we are in need of foster homes!
They are in DIRE need of monetary donations, supplies and foster homes.
DONATE!

We are going to need atleast 10 foster homes to be able to take these pitiful dogs once they’ve been evaulated. While some are reported to have a playful nature, some may require a long term stay (6 months) in foster. They are going to need socialization, learn to live in a home and trust people.

Because of the sheer number of dogs, this will be a combined rescue effort between GWP Rescue Inc. and East Coast GWP Rescue. The money raised to help these dogs will be split between the two rescues to cover the costs of the dogs. We will also be sending out updates on the dogs and their progress! All donations are tax deductible.
