German Shorthaired Pointer Dogs Available for Adoption

Hades came to the shelter when his previous owners could no longer care for him, and he has handled the transition with grace and a gentle spirit. He is housetrained, walks nicely on leash, and knows basic obedience. He is food motivated and eager to please, which makes him both fun and easy to work with.



In playgroups he has shown himself to be a stable and well mannered dog. He is submissive with other dogs, playful when invited, and calm when it is time to settle. He does well with dogs, other animals, and kids, and would truly thrive in a multi dog or multi animal home where he can be part of the family dynamic. We are unsure on how he is with cats at this time as he hasn't been tested.



Hades enjoys a good game of fetch and loves spending time with his people. He is gentle, affectionate, and has earned the reputation of being a shelter staff favorite thanks to his sweet personality and A+ behavior.



This wonderful boy is ready for a loving home where he can continue to shine. If you are looking for a loyal, well rounded companion who is equal parts playful and calm, Hades may just be your perfect match.

Hades was rescued from a shelter in New Mexico.

Adoption fees include vaccines up until time of adoption, microchip, spay/neuter and 1st 30 days of free pet insurance. We are not affiliated with MetLife pet insurance. (you have to sign up for the insurance or it will not go into effect). Adoption fees help cover the medical care of the animals while he or she waits for a new home, as well as food and transportation costs. These fees help to provide care for the other animals in the shelter or rescue group who may have medical bills that are much higher than any possible adoption fee. The money also acts as a donation to help support the organization as a whole, allowing the group to continue its efforts to rescue and rehome pets.
The dogs in our care are fostered in Colorado, Texas, and New Mexico. While all dogs are picked up during our scheduled times, sometimes transport dates change due to unforeseen circumstances.
