Rocky Mountain German Shorthaired Pointer Rescue in Penrose, CO
Rocky Mountain German Shorthaired Pointer Rescue is located in Penrose, Colorado, in Fremont County, about 30 miles north of Colorado Springs; two other animal shelters or rescues also serve Fremont County. The organization primarily rehomes German Shorthaired Pointers, but its adoptable roster also includes other pointer breeds and mixes, along with occasional dogs of other breeds such as herding mixes and pit bull mixes. Dogs come to the rescue from a variety of situations, including surrenders from hunting homes, strays picked up out of state, and transfers from other shelters, and each is evaluated for temperament, energy level, and compatibility with other pets before being placed. Adoption fees are typically in the $300–$350 range, though the rescue sometimes waives fees in favor of donations to help ensure bonded pairs or dogs with special needs find suitable homes together.
