How do I contact the shelter about Oscar?

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

Can I adopt Oscar 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 Oscar 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 Oscar 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 Oscar 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 (the shelter's own language). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.

Oscar

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

This very handsome fella is Oscar, he has just turned 8 years of age and is looking for a new home where he has company with someone who can catch his ball when he throws it at you ready for you to throw it again for him 😂 if you can’t catch that’s fine because if you show him your empty hands he will nicely place the ball in your hand ready for you to throw for him. Oscar has been staying in kennels while being assessed and had been very good, he happily watches all the dogs coming in and out for their exercise with no reaction, he’s been quiet and clean and hasn’t destroyed his comfy bedding, he also comes when he’s called. However if he’s left with his rubber ball he will destroy it, so his balls are taken away when he goes back inside. He’s been fine meeting other dogs and can seem quite aloof with them, he has been living with a female so we don’t know how he would react left home alone without canine company, so this would need to be built up. But as long as he has someone to throw his ball he seems very happy, he also enjoys having lots of fuss and attention and eating all the meals and treats he’s been offered. He walks fine on a lead and if he does pull with a correction he will concentrate again in a controlled environment. We don’t know much about his history so we won’t be Rehoming him to children under senior school age. We don’t know what he would be like with a cat so we wouldn’t want to risk an incident so will rehome him to a cat free home. We can’t say how he would react around horses, livestock etc. so careful introductions would be necessary. We do know that he has been used to having someone spending time playing with him and being affectionate to him because he very much enjoys all the fuss. Oscar is currently in Goole in Easy Yorkshire and will be rehomed with his 5 weeks free Agria insurance and our Adoption Contract, if you feel you can give this sweet boy his happy ever after please contact us. 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 Oscar

What life with Oscar looks like

Oscar is a adult mixed breed 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. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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.
