This is the web site for German Short-Haired Pointer Rescue (SW), which was originally set up in the late 1990’s and run by David Bishop until his unexpected death at the end of 2008.

Dave worked tirelessly to help the breed that he loved, and asked that the rescue continue with his work, and that is what we are doing.

Since January 2008, Sarah Hadley helped with the day to day running of the rescue along with valuable assistance from others, and following his death, that work has continued.

Unfortunately Dave’s original web site got largely destroyed by a Trojan attack last year, so I am having to re-create it.

One thing to note is that when this web site was created, it was intended primarily to cover the South West area of England.  However as there were no other GSP rescues with a web site presence, increasingly over the past few years the rescue has expanded not only to assist dogs from any part of the UK, but also (in conjunction with other rescues) to regularly assist dogs from Ireland, and sometimes even further afield like Spain, Cyprus and Greece.

Please note that this web site is currently being re-built, so only holds the minimum of information – we hope that more will be added in the coming weeks.

In the meantime, it you would like to find details of the dogs we have for rehoming, please visit our forum pages:-
