German Shorthaired Pointer Dogs Available for Adoption

Update 3/11/26: JoJo has arrived to GPPR! Check back in for updates as he decompresses and we learn more about him.

_______________________________________________________________

Jojo is a 4-year-old neutered male weighing about 54 pounds who is looking for a home where he can settle in and show us more about who he is.

From what we have seen so far, Jojo is a fairly low key, easygoing dog. Shelter staff report that he handles routine care well, including nail trims and basic grooming, and we have not seen any handling concerns with him.

About Jojo

Jojo previously lived in a home and came to the shelter when his family struggled to safely manage interactions between him and their toddler. According to his former owners, he nipped at their 2-year-old during boundary issues, but the nips never broke skin. Because of this history, Jojo would be best placed in a home without very young children.

They reported that he did well with their two older children.

Jojo is house trained and crate trained, and his previous owners report that he does not have accidents in the house.

Dog and Cat Compatibility

Jojo’s former family reports that he does well with other dogs. He did get scared/overwhelmed in a large play group of other dogs.

He has not lived with cats, so a home without cats or a foster comfortable managing slow introductions would be best.

Ideal Foster Home

Jojo may be a good fit for a variety of homes, but we are currently looking for a foster home that has:

• No toddlers or very young children
• A calm environment where he can settle in
• Potentially another dog, though it is not required

If you are interested in giving him a permanent home, please complete our adoption application.
