About Pointers...
They're Not Just For Hunting Anymore!
The English Pointer has long been considered the
"Cadillac" of the upland bird dogs. Known for its tremendous ability
to scent out game and freeze like a statue or point, the Pointer is a popular
breed for those who enjoy the thrill and challenge of bird hunting.
However, the Pointer is more than "just a birddog."
Pointers are quite suitable for family life,
in fact they thrive in it. They get along well with people of all
ages. While they are an active breed that can make excellent jogging,
walking or horsebackriding partners, they also enjoy snuggling up on a
couch and watching TV with their favorite person. They are intelligent
dogs that are generally easy to train and seem to have a sense of humor
all their own. In addition to hunting, Pointers have also excelled
in other venues such as agility, obedience, tracking and search & rescue.

News
2003 has been a successful year for Pointer Rescue.
We have found many pointers news homes and have done our part in saving
countless pointers who were in danger of being put down in shelters.
Alongs with these successes come the expenses the occur in rescuework.
We are grateful for the many people who have donated money, time and their
homes and hearts to make our mission successful. However, as with
all rescue groups, we are always in need of more help, both financial and
efforts. To donate to Pointer Rescue or to help in other areas to
carry on our mission of "pointing" these dogs to their forever homes,
go to http://www.pointerrescue.org/volunteer.html.

Who We Are
Pointer Rescue Organization, Inc., formed in 1999,
is dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of Pointers in need. This
national rescue group has volunteers coast to coast and in Canada
and other countries who work to identify Pointers that are no longer wanted
or in danger of being killed in shelters, bring them into foster care,
and find suitable "forever homes." While some dogs that come
through PRO are surrendered by the owners, the overwhelming majority are
abandoned on the streets or found in shelters. In foster homes,
the dogs are spayed or neutered, assured that they are vaccinated and heartworm
negative and are monitored to determine their behavior and personality
traits in order to match them with the perfect home.
We are always in need of volunteers to help foster, transport our
dogs. Would you consider being a part of Pointer Rescue?

Our senior dogs, who are in special need of homes can be adopted for less.
