Deanna found Sir Sprinkles and she wanted to make sure we knew where to find him as well.
She got in touch with California GSP Rescue after animal control took him and he went to the shelter. They then moved him to a kennel by himself after an incident with a kennel mate. In the meantime no-one came looking for the uniquely marked GSP/Weim. Sir Sprinkles was sitting all alone in a kennel. We were in constant contact with the shelter until the holding period was up. The day we went to the shelter, no-one was interested in taking Sir Sprinkles at all, but we were out there whilst the AC officer went back to get him. The door opened and there he was. We immediately understood why Deanna took the time to send that message. You'll recall a dog that looks like Sir Sprinkles. He didn't deserve to be in the shelter any longer than he had to be.
His freedom ride was more of a parade where he was king for the day. We found a walk was very much his thing. This six-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer Weimaraner is a very easy dog to walk, and is very happy to get out for a walk or a hike. You do need to allow for a few breaks along the way, as Sir Sprinkles likes his pets.
We've also been getting to know him around the other dogs. When he had a brief meeting with Doc, Emily and Siren he was very curious and his tail was wagging. He can be a lovely dog to be the only dog. If you already have a dog we'd like them to meet and see how they get on together.
Darla is a bit younger and came to us in a completely different way. A family who'd taken her in contacted us in the hope of finding a home that could provide her with the daily exercise and training she requires. At three and a half she's a very active dog, loves fetch and is very attentive when the treats come out. One of our volunteers was out with her and Arnold and they were running and playing the entire time. Any match with another dog would be down to how they get on at introductions.

If one of those dogs sounds like good company for the way you spend your days, please tell us about your home. If Sir Sprinkles or Darla made you think of someone, send them the video. That's how this story started really, someone who cared just took a minute to send an email.
