How did you hear about GPPR?*

Is there anything else we should know in order to help us match you with the right dog?

I understand that Great Plains Pointer Rescue, Inc. (GPPR) makes no guarantees about the health, history, or behavior of any dog in its care. GPPR and its volunteers will share what they know, but these dogs often come from unknown or difficult situations and may act unpredictably. I accept that GPPR decides which applications to approve and where to place each dog. Approval is not guaranteed, and GPPR may deny any application at its sole discretion. By submitting this application, I release GPPR, its officers, volunteers, and representatives from any liability for injury, loss, or damages connected with the care, fostering, or adoption of a GPPR dog. I certify that the information in this application is true and complete. (Please e-sign by entering your name and date below)
