Wirehaired Pointing Griffons are excellent
family pets and hunting companions and their versatility and eagerness
to please helps them to excel in many nontraditional areas, but
GRIFFONS ARE NOT FOR EVERYONE. Griffons are an active, intelligent,
affectionate breed that requires personal attention and exercise every
day.
If you'd like an athetic, affectionate companion, please visit our
Griffons Needing New Homes
section. If you can't find a
Griff in your area, and you are seriously interested in adopting a
Griffon, please contact one of the Rescue Coordinators. The Griffon
you save could well become your most beloved companion.
Most Griffon Breeders know each other and are willing to help out. If you have a Griffon that you need to give up your Griffon, first contact the breeder of your Griffon . Chances are very good that your breeder will help you to find a new home for the Griffon. |

Thanks to the dedication and assistance of so many Rescue volunteers and loving homes, Rescue Griffons are quickly moved into the Rescue System and evaluated for placement in suitable homes.

Please
contact us if you are interested in receiving information on any
wayward Griffons that may be in need of homes. You can also keep up
to date on the message board, and the AWPGA Griffon Rescue List.
If you
would like to be considered for a rescue Griff when we might have
one in your neighborhood, we would have to have an adoption
application on file from you. So, if you would like an application,
just email us back and we'll ship one off to you via cyberspace. The
application gives us basic information so that we can hopefully
develop a proper "fit" between a dog and prospective adopter when a
rescue comes up in your area.

Rescue Success Stories
"Stray Shelter Griffon" (now named Rudy) has been Rehomed,
too! Uneutered, 4 year old male Griff
This lovely dog will live with some people who have been waiting
for a Griffon puppy. They picked him up when things were not looking
so positive for him at the animal shelter. Again, this boy went into a
loving, active home, with people who want to share their time with an
intelligent, affectionate dog.
To everyone who called to help with this shelter dog "Rudy", thank
you!
Placed in a new home in November, thanks to all who contacted Sue
and the Gastineau Humane Society. 4 year old
Male Neutered Griff.
Another rescue success! Gone to his new home in December, another
Griff called Rudy, 3 year old neutered male, rescued by
Colleen and Jim Reiss,
of Oregon
Axel, the 3 1/2 year old male Imported Rescue Griffon has been
adopted by Susan Chapman, who saw him in the Alabama Shelter and
brought him home. Axel has stolen their hearts, and has become an
important part of their family, and so, happily, Axel will be staying
with Susan.
Louis
Louis was beaten by a dog trainer, and when he was sent back to his
former owner,he was a real mess. We adopted Louis when he was only a
year old, and he hastaken a lot of time to overcome his bad
experience. For a long time he didn't wantus to leave his sight. He
has matured into a wonderful dog, his only bad habit is thathe opens
our front door with his paws.
