Lazlo

German Shorthaired Pointer · Female · Adult · 6 years

11/08/22 This beautiful girl is Laz short for Lazlo, she has just turned 6 years old and her family have had to make this very sad decision to find her a new home after a relationship breakup where her dad has managed the situation for several months but feels very guilty that Laz isn’t having the life that she deserves. She is also missing the company of her friend who was a 5 year old female Dachshund they lived together for 4 years, she absolutely adored her, they slept together and played constantly, she also had two visiting male Dachshunds who she enjoyed playing chasing games in the garden with. She had also lived with a female German Longhaired Pointer who could be quite sharp with her, so she would definitely prefer to live with a little dog because she was so happy, playful and more relaxed around the Dachshund. Laz sleeps in the shower room at night which has a large run attached to it for her to have free access to the outdoors, where she has been left alone and with the Dachshund for several hours. She also has a large garden that she loves running around and playing in. With her dads work commitments she hasn’t routinely been taken out for the long walks that she loves, so her dad has said that her recall will need work, when he has been walking her he has taken her to a secure field. She can also pull on the lead after having so much free running, especially if she sees another dog that she wants to go and say hello to, so again this would need further training.

About Lazlo

What life with Lazlo looks like

Lazlo is a large adult german shorthaired pointer dog waiting at GSP Rescue UK in United Kingdom.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Lazlo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lazlo?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. GSP Rescue UK handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Lazlo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lazlo if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — GSP Rescue UK will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Lazlo already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Lazlo isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with GSP Rescue UK early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lazlo and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
