Default A pair of adoptable pointers in NE PA

[Moderators, I have no connection to this shelter so please delete this post if it is at all inappropriate for the board]

I just spotted this listing and have no idea if they field-trained, but someone here may be interested:

[from a Facebook post:]
(near) SCRANTON, PA: Pretty cute, right? Well, they'd look cuter in your home! 7 year olds Bailey (left) and Stella (right) are English Pointers who are looking to be adopted together. This brother and sister duo are practically attached at the hip. When at the playground with other doggy-kids, they're the siblings who prefer to stick near each other and stay side-by-side. Help us to keep these cuties together, PLEASE SHARE!

Pike County Humane Society wrote, "Stella and Bailey came to another shelter as strays in a populated area. We took them in so they could benefit from the large fenced in area we have. They have been with us for a couple of months now.

These two have spent their whole life together. At seven years old they still have a lot of love and energy. They would benefit most from a fenced in yard as they are very active. They are more independent, not the type to give kisses, but they do demand attention. For example, pushing your hand to be pet.

Stella and Bailey run with a group of ten large dogs in our fenced in area, they mostly stick together but will play a little bit with the other dogs. They can't be around any other small animals, their prey drive is too high.

Stella and Bailey must be adopted together with a fenced in yard. We would prefer the adopter to be schooled in a hunting type breed."

To adopt Stella and Bailey, please contact the shelter by emailing pikecountyhs@gmail.com or calling 570.296.7654.

Pike County Humane Society is located at 189 Lee Road, Shohola, PA.

Adoption hours are Monday through Friday from 12 noon to 3PM, Saturday and Sunday from 12 noon to 4PM.

Recently this May I had a Gentleman stop by my house and drop off a young English Pointer that some shitbag had badly mistreated and dropped off along the road.. after getting him back to good health and searching for a good home, to no avail, I decided to have him worked with a pro trainer and now own one hell of prospect in a bird dog and a fantastic house dog.. These dogs make great companions and it is a joy to watch them doing what they love to do in the field.. They cannot and will not all be great field champions with style and grace but giving any rescue a chance, you will be surprised what enjoyment they can bring in the field and to your family.. Hope they get a great hunting home.

Those are great looking dogs, just begging for the correct home. Please if you can consider adopting them and making them great bird dogs...............I bet that is in there genetics................

Gentlemen,

I moved this thread from members only off topic to the general Parker discussion for the sake of these dogs.

If they were picked up as strays how does the shelter know there siblings? If my situation was better I'd drive to PA and get them.

There are breed specific "rescue" organizations. The one in our area that I know about is a German Shorthair Rescue, but it's a place to inquire. They probably have a list of people waiting for the right dog or dogs.

The best bird dog I ever hunted behind came from a dog pound. A big white english setter named Snowball. His pups were also some very fine bird finders.

Contact pointerrescue.org, I'll throw them an email as well. They are a fantastic organization, we got our boy Danny from them, he's one hell of a bird hound! The Pointer is an absolutely amazing breed if you dont have one and are looking for an easy trainable bird dog its worth the risk in fostering to see if they are a fit for you.
