How do I contact the shelter about Nino?

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 Nino on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Nino 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 Nino 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 Nino 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 Nino 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.

Nino

German Shorthaired Pointer · Male · Young · 1 year

November 2025 Nino is a very handsome fella who’s owners have had to make this heartbreaking decision to find him a new retirement home after a change in their personal lives and the lack of affordable rented accommodation that will allow a lovely fella like him in their area. Nino turns 15 around January and has lived with his family since being adopted from a shelter where he was taken after being abandoned on the side of a motorway at around a year old. He has been amazing with their children, he is wonderful meeting dogs out on walks and is still playful with his toys. He has always been a healthy boy and has no illnesses that his owner is aware of except for a tumour on his eyelid that doesn’t seem to bother him. His favourite things are walks, cuddles and snuggling up in his blanket. He travels fine on short journey but gets bored on long journeys and can start to whine to make sure that you know that he’s fed up. He has a great appetite and eats a mixture of wet and dry food. He’s walked on a harness and comes back when called while walking at the seafront. We know that this is a big ask for anyone to take on a GSP at this stage in his life, but he’s such a happy boy that we want to give him this chance and we know how amazing our followers and extended rescue family are, so we are hoping to find him a lovely home for him to see out the rest of his days. 🥰🐾🐾 His owner is happy to cover Ninos food costs and there’s no adoption donation needed, we would also cover any medical costs If you feel that you could offer him this please contact us. Nino is currently in the Worthing area and will be rehomed with his five weeks free Agria Insurance and his Adoption Contract. 💜 GSP Rescue UK Terms and Conditions apply. 🐾🐾 © GSP Rescue UK 2016–2026 GSP Rescue UK is a working name of German Shorthaired Pointer Trust, a Registered Charity in England & Wales No. 1172457

About Nino

What life with Nino looks like

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

An young 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.
