Adoption Process

1. If you have not owned a GSP before, please make sure that this is the right breed for you by reading the information provided at About The GSP.
2. Read and complete our Adoption Application.
3. After reviewing your application and checking references, we will contact you to conduct a phone interview to further discuss your application and what you are looking for in a new companion.
4. We will then set up a time to come to your residence to conduct a home visit. This will further ensure that the right match is made between you and one of our GSPs. We do not place our dogs in homes with invisible fencing--you must have a physical fence.

Most of our dogs are living either in foster homes or in their surrendering homes until a permanent home is found for them. If all goes well with the home visit, your family, including children and pets, will meet the dog(s) you’re interested in to see if you are a good match.

There is an adoption donation associated with adopting one of our dogs. We incur a number of expenses while our rescued dogs are in transition. Some of these expenses include food, transportation and medical care. All dogs adopted through Mile High GSP Rescue will have been spayed or neutered, heartworm tested, will be up-to-date on vaccinations and will come with a leash and collar.

Adoption Fees:



Puppies up to 1 year: $300.00
1 – 7 years: $250.00
8 – 10 years: $175.00
11+ years: $50.00 


Lastly, and most importantly, we LOVE to receive updates and photos of our rescued dogs in their new homes! Every one of them holds a special place in our hearts and catching a glimpse of them in their new environment with people who love them is quite rewarding for us. Please email us with your updates, stories and photos!
