Adoption

Our rescue program works hard to match the right dog to the right owner, and we have been very successful for that reason. All of our dogs are vet checked, up to date on all shots and spayed or neutered. Because of the wide range of circumstances of surrendering homes not all dogs are housebroken and/or crate-trained. When appropriate, they are first placed into a foster home for about two-six weeks in order to be evaluated for temperament, behavior, and physical health. We do require a fee for all placed dogs in approved homes.

Adult (ages 1-6) $400
Seniors (ages 7+) $150
Puppies (under 1yr) $600 with $100 rebate for spay/neuter proof

​

**Adjustments to all of these fees may be made for "special needs" dogs, to be determined on a case by case basis.**

​

The average age range of the dogs that come into rescue is usually one to three years. Since Weims are rather slow to mature (behavior-wise, not size!) that age would make them adolescents...still a handful, but on the verge of being ready to calm down, in the right situation. Please do not discount older dogs...it is a misconception that older dogs will not bond to new owners as well as a puppy. Weims are so people oriented, believe me, they will bond. In fact, some people are not ready for how seriously and closely they do bond! They have been bred to be companion animals.

Below is a link to our adoption application. Please complete the application as thoroughly as possible so that we have enough information to match you with the dog most suited to your particular living situation. Our goal is for every placement to be the best and last for each dog and its new family.  You will be contacted upon receipt and review of your application.

 

Please be patient! This often takes up to a week or more, as we are all volunteers with jobs, families, and dogs of our own.
