About Remington

Meet Remington, a charming 10-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer, who’s settled into his foster home beautifully. He's the kind of guy who knows how to enjoy life at a leisurely pace and has a great personality that shines through in every interaction. Remington loves his daily walks, especially when he can explore at his own speed. He’s house-trained and knows commands like sit, stay, and down, making him a well-mannered companion. While he enjoys his time outdoors, he also relishes cuddling with his people and playing with his favorite squeaky toys, especially stuffed animals. Remington gets along well with kids (he’s been around ages 9 to 18) and other dogs, making him an ideal family pet. Keep in mind that Remington has jumped fences in the past, so a tall, secure fence is a must at his forever home. He thrives with companionship and would do best with someone who’s home often, whether that’s a retiree or someone working from home. If you’re looking for a gentle senior who will be a loyal companion, Remington could be the perfect fit for you. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
