German Shorthaired Pointer Dogs Available for Adoption in Omaha, Nebraska

Lexie is a 5-year-old spayed female German Shorthaired Pointer who weighs about 55 lbs. She is affectionate, playful, and full of classic GSP personality. Her foster family describes her as a sweet girl who loves being close to her people and has quickly made herself comfortable in the home, including sleeping under the covers “like a proper GSP.”

Lexie loves kids and has happily soaked up attention and snuggles from visiting teenagers in foster care. She forms strong attachments to her people and prefers to stay close by wherever they are going.

She is an active, bird obsessed pointer who thoroughly enjoys patrolling the backyard and chasing birds. Her foster family has already started working on long line training and helping her learn how to relax and settle instead of constantly being “on duty.” She is smart, engaged, and very much enjoys having something to do.

Lexie currently lives with other GSPs in foster care. She can be somewhat cautious about other dogs getting too close initially and is still adjusting to new canine relationships, but she is already making progress and becoming more comfortable. Historically, she has done well with dogs in neutral settings like dog parks. Her foster family is continuing to work on confidence building and positive interactions.

She has also shown some mild resource guarding behaviors toward the adult woman in the foster home. At this point, it has not been severe, and her foster family has already begun actively working on it. Lexie will likely do best with adopters who understand dog body language and are comfortable continuing structure and training as she settles into a new environment.

Lexie is crate trained and accustomed to being kenneled overnight and during away times. Like many dogs experiencing major transitions, she initially showed some mild stress related to separation and change, including shakiness and loose stools, but this improved after only a few days.

She knows several commands, including sit, wait, fetch, and drop it. She can be a little mischievous at times and has discovered that counters and tables occasionally contain treasures worth investigating.

Overall, Lexie is a loving, energetic dog who wants to be included as part of the family and will thrive with people who appreciate the fun, loyal, and sometimes goofy nature of the breed. If she sounds like a good fit for your home, complete the adoption form here: ADOPT ME
