To all interested,
The pup was indeed dropped off at a shelter as suspected. Fortunately, the pup was almost immediately adopted by a hunter and should be living out the remainder of his days as it was intended by the bird Gods...
Fishcapades and lowavenger96: I know you guys were chomping at the bit for this little guy. I am sorry it did not work out for you guys as I know you'd have both furnished great homes for him. Unfortunately, the guy who asked for help finding a home offered no time to find the home, he is a jack***. In spite of this moron, thankfully, the dog will be safe and sound.
Thanks again for all the interest in the GSP's situation.
