GSP puppy rescued

Dog Lovers-
I got an email last night from another breed rescue person- there is a German Shorthaired Pointer pup in a kill shelter and today is her last day. After a few quick phone calls, she has been rescued and is at a vet for evaluation. In a couple of days I will know more, but here is the upshot-
I will need to place this puppy soon, as I leave for an out of state hunting trip in 2 weeks
, and Stitch is going with me. If anyone is familiar with bird dogs, and is interested in adopting this girl, let me know. As soon as I have more info on her health and outlook, I will post it. Standard rescue adoption requirements and fee applies. From what I am hearing, the adoption fee won't cover the medical expenses, so we'll probably lose money on her, unless a generous adopter is found. I won't elaborate on her medical issues, other that that if they can be corrected, it won't be an ongoing problem.

Kurt, please post pics as soon as you can. I am interested in her. I am a bird hunter, and have a black lab now. Would like to get another field pup.
Thanks,
Jason

Jason-
Thank you for your response.
I would caution against adopting a rescue dog expecting a field dog. The probability is very high that she won't hunt. Are you willing to keep her as a family pet if she won't? I have 4 bird dogs right now that won't hunt. Three were rescues, one I paid a LOT of money for, and the breeder said he'd take her back, but I knew he would just kill her, so I kept her. What usually happens is, a guy takes a dog from rescue, and when it won't hunt, he either turns it back in to rescue or dumps it at a shelter or worse...
I am not saying that is what YOU would do, but that is a very common scenario. If I thought she would hunt, I would keep her, but I have 5 dogs now and dog food and vet bills don't go down. It is easiest to get a puppy adopted, because they are so darn cute, and females don't mark their territory. I will post photos as soon as I can get good ones. She's not very photogenic right now.

The high I get when I take a dog that was scheduled to be killed in days or even hours, and place it in a loving home where it is spoiled rotten is better than ANY drug in the world.

It was a false alarm. The dog is not a German Shorthaired Pointer or even a mixed-breed GSP. She is safe and receiving medical treatment for her ailments, and will be adopted quickly.
Anyone know what kind of dog this is?
