George is a beautiful, gray Weim with a docked tail. George is up-to-date on his vaccinations and will be neutered after he’s had time to settle in. George likes to ride in the car and is a very sweet boy. Once we know more about George’s personality, we will keep you updated.

All of our rescue dogs must be spayed or neutered. We do not place intact dogs. They must also be micro- chipped, with registration to be updated at time of adoption. Our dogs will be up to date with veterinary needs prior to adoption.

Patience is in order for most of our applicants. An appropriate Weim may or may not be available at this time. Sometimes we get a call for an owner-surrender or we may get a call from a shelter about an available dog. We encourage our owners who surrender to hold onto their dog if possible, while we find the right home for their dog. That is less traumatic for the dog. The dogs that come from shelters are usually fostered for a period of time, for assessment, and for necessary vetting to be done. We may not get a call for two or three weeks, then we may get two or three dogs in one week. It is unpredictable. If a specific age or gender is preferred, your wait might be longer.

We do not adopt dogs to families on a “first-come-first-serve” basis. We strive to make the best match possible between dog and adoptive family, and not every family is appropriate for every dog. Examples: Some dogs are fine with busy, small children, and others are not. Some dogs are fine with cats, others are not. Some dogs are fine with other dogs, some are not.

When we place a dog in its new adoptive home, there is a 2 week probation period for both the dog and the new family. If everything goes well, after the 2 week probation time we will finalize the adoption. Our adoption contract is thorough and binding. This contract states that at ANY TIME during the life of the dog, REGARDLESS OF REASON, if the new owner cannot keep the dog or take care of it, the dog MUST be returned to our rescue.

Generally our rescues do not have problems. More often the problems are with the owner, or the owner’s circumstances. We do sometimes have rescues that come to us with issues. Few issues are difficult, rarely are they insurmountable. Patience and knowledge is always in order. It is strongly recommended that if you do not already know the Weimaraner breed that you take the time to become educated. We can help you with that. It is also extremely important that you know the general needs and temperament of hunting breeds. The Weimaraner is NOT the breed for everyone!

Rescue is a time-consuming, costly venture. Our rescue program is run by volunteers. We do charge an adoption fee to cover expenses related to getting a dog ready for its new family. The adoption fee is stated on the application. We depend on adoption fees, donations, and fundraisers to keep our rescue program going.

The Weims in our rescue program will have a complete file at time of adoption, with medical records, microchip records, necessary contact information and a contract.

We in Weimaraner Rescue love to have updates and photos, we want to stay in touch with our dogs and their families. We are available to answer questions, offer advice when needed, and provide information. We have resources for many dog owner subjects, including nail trimming, obedience training, reputable veterinarians in our areas, and activities well suited for Weims and their families.

Always remember, getting a dog is a 10-15 year commitment!

Read and answer all of these questions to yourself! The most important step is to look at yourself, your home, your family and the time and money you have available and ask yourself:

• Is it ok if I have dog hair in my house, nose prints on my windows, a chewed corner on the sofa, mud on the carpet?
• Is it ok if a wet dog comes in the house, rides in the car and spends time trying to dry herself off on the furniture?
• Do I have time to care for a dog, spend time with a dog, walk a dog EVERY day, take a dog to the vet, trim his nails, feed him twice a day and take him with us everywhere instead of locking him up and leaving him alone when we leave?
• Is my home big enough for a Weimaraner? Will she be happy, safe and warm?
• Will a barking dog bother my neighbors?
• Can I afford $30-$40 per month for food, $500+ annually for miscellaneous veterinary vet bills? Can I afford to fence my yard to keep my dog safe? Can I afford an interior kennel with a source of heat? (garage, basement, etc.)
• Do I want a dog that goes to the games with the kids, goes camping with us, over to Grandma’s house, is part of the family?
• Do I have a kennel a good fenced yard a warm toasty place for a Weimaraner to stay when we are all away from home?
• Do I want a Weimaraner enough to provide a good home and not keep him/her in a crate or locked outside by itself or in the cold?
• Do I want a dog that will be with me and my family for all of its life which might be as long as 15 years?

If you answered “no” to any of these questions, it is likely that a Weimaraner is not the breed for you. Please reconsider getting a Weimaraner. If you answered “yes” to all of the above questions we would love to have you fill out an application.

Charlie (female) is a beautiful, healthy 6 yr old purebred Weim that loves to run and would be good for an active family or would adapt to being a couch potato. She loves to snuggle and would be your forever friend for a good belly rub every night before bed. Charlie is housebroken and stays in the house. She is good with kids (including babies and toddlers) and other dogs and the elderly…Charlie has been socialized in all sorts of situations such as going to church and the beauty shop, and knows basic commands. She walks very well on a leash and is obedient off the leash. She is a house dog and is house trained. She will go and lay down in her “place” when told to and will stay there. She is well mannered and even “waits for the blessing” before she will eat her breakfast. Charlie can NOT be in a home with cats. She is up-to-date on her shots, and spayed. Charlie would do best in a home where she is not left alone all day as she gets anxious if left for long periods. Charlie is looking for a new home because her mom and dad are moving to a retirement community and she can’t come along. She will quickly make her way into your heart and will make some lucky family a wonderful companion and friend.

If you are interested in Charlie, please contact Tish at mememckenzie@gmail.com or call 478-452-7996 (home) 478-457-7080 (cell) (Charlie is boarding North of Atlanta) and there is a non-negotiable $100 re-homing fee.
