Decisions on placing dogs in adoptive and foster homes is an 'art,' not a 'science' -- there might be times when applications will be denied for various reason(s). The APWGSPR organization reserves the right to make all decisions regarding placement or final disposition of any rescued dog in its care whether in, or being placed in, a foster or adoptive home or other facility. There is absolutely no guarantee made or implied that any person, or persons, requesting to adopt a GSP or Pointer or Mix of being fostered through APWGSPR, or posted on APWGSPR's website, will be granted an adoption!
All Points West German Shorthaired Pointer Rescue (APWGSPR) is making no representations or warranties about the condition, personality, or temperament of the dogs available. The dog(s) is/are for domestic purposes only. The dog (s) was previously unwanted or lost and may have been rescued from a dangerous, unhealthy and/or cruel situation. It is possible that this may have long-lasting effects on the pet and may make the pet unpredictable under certain conditions. All Points West GSP Rescue will have limited, if any, knowledge of what transpired prior to the dog entering our rescue, or what could transpire once placed into an adoptive home. APWGSPR makes no guarantees on how a dog behaves in a home, past history, or future ramifications of said dog. Because a dog is a living and breathing animal, there is no way to predict whether a past illness, behavior, etc known or unknown, will reoccur in the future, or, if there will be future ramifications of said illness.
