eris

Eris (pronounced Air-iss) is an approximately 4-year-old spayed female German Shorthaired Pointer who currently weighs 42 pounds. After being found as a stray, Eris spent about two months in a shelter before joining GPPR. During that time, she lost about 6 pounds, and we're working to help her regain a healthy weight. She's now settling into foster care and learning what life as a beloved family member is all about. Every day, she's becoming more comfortable and showing off her affectionate, fun-loving personality. Personality Eris absolutely loves people and wants to be wherever you are. Whether you're working in the yard, going for a walk, or relaxing outside, she'll happily tag along as your shadow. She has an incredible zest for life and is always ready for the next adventure. Eris is an energetic girl who thrives on activity and engagement. Once she's had plenty of exercise, she begins to settle, but she is not the type of dog who is content to lounge around all day. She is learning basic household manners and has already started responding to commands like off, down, and no. She'll need a family that is committed to continuing her training with patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement.   Other Dogs Eris enjoys other dogs and loves to play. Because of her enthusiasm, she may be overwhelming for lower energy dogs at first, but she's learning appropriate play with her foster brother through supervised interactions. Around the House Since Eris came into rescue as a stray, many everyday routines are still new to her. She is making steady progress with her house training through frequent trips outside and lots of praise. She's also learning that her crate is a safe place. She may whine for a few minutes when first crated but is becoming more comfortable as she adjusts to her routine. One thing we've learned is that Eris is not a fan of fireworks or other loud noises. During fireworks, she prefers the comfort and security of being indoors with her people.   The Ideal Home Eris is looking for an active family that understands the needs of a German Shorthaired Pointer. She'll do best with people who can provide plenty of daily exercise, mental stimulation, and continued training to help her become the best version of herself. She has already shown that she is affectionate, eager to learn, and devoted to her people. With structure, consistency, and an outlet for her abundant energy, Eris has all the potential to become an incredible companion.   If you're ready for an energetic adventure partner and are willing to invest the time to help her continue learning, Eris is ready to meet you.
