Hello! My name is Ethan and I am a handsome, 3-4 yr old, neutered, male Weimaraner with a big heart! I was picked up as a stray and taken to a shelter, but nobody came to get me. I don’t know why…I guess my family didn’t love me. Amy, a rescue agent with Atlanta Weimaraner Club Rescue, saved my life. She took me to the vet so I could get my shots and get neutered, but then the vet said I had heartworms. I heard them talking and they said I would have to have treatment. I am not looking forward to that because they also said I would have to stay very quiet for 30 days. I just want to get well and have a new family that will love me. I really would be so thankful if someone would foster me while I go through treatment so I don’t have to stay in a kennel. I promise I’ll be a good boy. Amy told me she is going to make sure I have a new furever home soon. I hope she’s right because I am sad! (More on Ethan as we get to know him…his treatment will begin 1/30/12.)

Hi! Our names are Tyla and Duke, and we are 8 years young. My mom said to tell you that we are AKC Registered, but not from the same litter. We used to live in a house with two cats, but my mom could no longer take care of us, so she gave us to a nice lady at AWCR who promised she would find us a new home. We are such good dogs; we like other dogs, long rides in the car, and playing ball. We are housebroken, think the crate is okay cause we sleep there, and love to go for long walks or jogs. We would really love to find a family that will let us stay together because we’ve been together since we were puppies. We promise to be good! Oh, and we want to also mention that we were raised with two children from birth and we are very gentle with kids even when they are rough, pull our tails and skin or lay all over us… You’ve got to admit that makes us very special…and good with cats…what more could you ask for? I hope you will consider giving us a new home with your family and let us show you how wonderful we are! (We will also consider separating Tyla and Duke if there is another dog in the home.)
Here is an Update:
Duke and Tyla are two very sweet dogs with very different pesonallities. Duke loves to be outside ramble and hunt. He has great recall and very loving. Tyla is a couch potato and likes to play with Duke when outside. Both do great inside and have learned the dog door. They rest quietly on couch down stairs when left alone. They are well behaved and should make a great addition to a loving home. They will be easy for any home to handle.

My name is Bree and I am a 7 year old, healthy, female Weimaraner looking for a forever home. Although I’m 7 years old, I look and act more like a much younger girl, so don’t let my age fool ya! Because I’m so full of energy, I need to be with someone who will take me running with them. I’m also a bit rambunctious! and would not be good with children under the age of 12 (oh, and no cats or other small animals) because I don’t know my size and really need to work on my manners before I’m ready for that! Hopefully, my new home will know that you CAN teach an old dog new tricks and work with me to be a great companion for many years to come!

Sebastian is a beautiful, blue, neutered male, 7 yr old Weim who was turned into a rural Georgia shelter with 3 other dogs because their family lost their home. Sebastian is a sweet, calm, good natured boy who did not get the exercise he needed, so he will start a diet and a healthy new life-style that includes daily exercise immediately. Sebastian knows basic commands, likes to play ball for short periods, and he is housebroken. As we get to know him more, we will update his bio.

Hank is an exceptionally handsome approx. 1-2 year old gray, Texas Blue Lacy that was rescued from a rural Georgia kill shelter. He is very sweet and gets along with other dogs. He is up-to-date on vaccines and neutered. Hank will need a family that is extremely active and willing to take him to obedience classes. Texas Blue Lacy’s are excellent with children and make wonderful family dogs as long as they are exercised appropriately. We will update as we get to know him.
Origins and History
Lacys were developed in the Texas Hill Country by the four Lacy brothers (Frank, George, Ewin, and Harry), who emigrated from Kentucky to Burnet County, Texas, in 1858. Traditional wisdom, as well as Lacy family history, holds that Lacys are the result of Greyhound/scent hound/coyote cross.

Multiple sources also suggested that the presence of Lacys in the Hill Country strongly influenced Fred Gipson, who was raised in adjacent Mason County and was best known for his novel Old Yeller. The Blue Lacy Game Dog filled the needs of colonial Americans for well over a century on ranches in the Southwestern US.

The decline of the family-owned ranching industry, as well as the introduction of technology such as all-terrain vehicles, brought the Lacy breed near extinction; however, its rediscovery as a masterful hunting companion has dramatically increased the demand for Lacys. They are now the most common breed used by United States Trappers.

Colors and Markings
The origin of the unusual slate blue coat and nose is a genetic rarity. All Lacy’s have minimal to full white markings on their brisket and most of the time on paw or paws. The light gun-metal gray to almost black Lacy’s are classified in color as blue. The red, yellow to cream Lacy’s are classified in color as red.

The tri-colored Lacy’s are blue with red markings over their eyes, on muzzle, under tail, and down the legs. They are classified in color as tri. Both the red and tri-colored Lacy’s hold the name Blue Lacy due to the blue-color gene they possess. All Blue Lacy’s eyes are very bright and distinctive orange to yellow in color. Which adds a unique touch to their appearance.

Handling and Care
Lacy’s are easy to handle, spectacular workers and pets that are great with children. They are energetic and dedicated dogs, capable of handling the meanest longhorn cattle or most jittery of hens, taking the job instinctively, requiring no training. They are known to replace the work of a cowboy by five times. This breed is also used for hog hunting, finding wounded deer, and treeing game. Suitable for a watch dog.

Temperment
Can be sensitive to yelling. Most respond better to stern or soft commands.

Odin is a sweet, gentle, 10 yr old neutered male that is looking for a furever home where he can spend his golden years. He was surrendered by his owner because she could no longer care for him. Odin is great with children of all ages as well as other dogs. His foster mom said that the children literally crawl all over him. He is a very laid back guy who just enjoys the company of his people and a soft bed to lay on. Wherever you are, Odin will be at your side. He would make an amazing companion for a senior. He does like to be outside, just not by himself. Odin is learning some new rules, like counter surfing is not allowed, and his foster mom is also working on not pulling on the leash while walking. Odin is a very quick learner and very eager to please. Won’t you consider giving Odin a place to call home? He’s just the best dog EVER!

Hello,
My name is Booker and I am a big, handsome, neutered Weim that is looking for a new home. My brother, Grayson, and I are very attached to each other….we are approx. 3-4 yr old siblings. Our mom moved away and couldn’t take us with her, so she dropped us off at a shelter. We were very lucky to find a nice rescue that saved us and is trying to find us a new home. We like to ride in the car, love giving kisses, and get along fine with other dogs. We are housebroken and sweet, but we don’t like cats. Our new home needs to be with an very active family that can give us the exercise we need and some obedience training. Thank you Camp Bow Wow for giving us a place to lay our heads while we wait for our new furever home. (Note: we will consider separating Grayson and Booker if there is another dog in the home.)

Twins? You don’t say! These two handsome weimaraners are about 3-4 years old and, as you can see, are litter mates! Their collars help tell them apart but otherwise, they are almost identical! The twosome are very attached to one another and don’t like to be separated from each other for long. If you and your family are interested in adopting these two fine gentlemen, come on down to Camp Bow Wow and meet them! They would love to meet you!! FYI…Probably not the bet fit around really young children.
A local behaviorist has fallen in love with Booker/Grayson and is offering a free training session to the adoptive family.

Honey is a gorgeous, sweet girl. She is housebroken, good with cats and other dogs. She was dropped at a rural shelter by her owner because they had new puppies. She was terrified at the shelter because she couldn’t understand why she was abandoned…she’d always been a good girl, she thought! Honey was always an inside dog. She will make a fantastic companion and walking partner. Won’t you give Honey a loving, furever home before Christmas?
