FEATURED DOG
Jakey, approx. 2.5 y/o male Weimaraner. Jakey is an incredible athlete - he moves quickly, can run and run, and
is always ready to have fun! In the home, he is very calm and cuddly and loves to be with his people and other dogs.
Jakey has an intense prey drive for rats and cats, but not so much for birds. When Jakey is outside of his home or
yard, and he sees things in the distance (including a dog on leash), he needs a reminder with a vibration or sound
controlled electronic collar, not to get excited. Without the collar, he gets his knickers in a knot and has the equivalent
of a child's temper tantrum. He is not aggressive, but gets excited! Fortunately, Jakey has had nothing but the best of
care and training while in rescue for 1.5 years, while we search for his forever home. Jakey's ideal home will include
the following: Space to run in a fenced area (he will jump a 5-foot fence), no cats or pet birds; a human companion
willing to work with him with an electronic collar, and give him love and affection while showing him what
unconditional love is all about; his forever person or people will appreciate this amazing Weimaraner. Jakey must
have daily exercise, and ideally, would have a running partner and possibly an agility trainer - again, willing to work
with him in a gentle an humane manner with the aid of an electronic collar. There are so many ways to describe
Jakey; he is sweet, fun, entertaining, VERY smart, handsome, and great with people of all ages. He gets along with
other dogs incredibly well at dog parks, in the home, in the car, etc. Jakey is in excellent health, current on vaccines,
micro-chipped and neutered. In Gorman. Contact norcalweimrescue@yahoo.com or 925-385-5275.






HANK, approx. 5 y/o male Weimaraner. Hank was picked up as a stray and startled
people with three very large lipomas on his abdomen. But, his super disposition convinced
Milo staff he was worth a second chance, and three months later, he is ready for a new
home! Hank had two surgeries and has telling scars on his abdomen (his nickname is
Hankenstein.) Hank is about fully recovered and looking forward to doing everything he
loved before the lumps got in his way! He walks and runs well off-leash, but is big (90lbs)
and strong, and pulls on leash. He fetches balls in the water and loves to swim. He gets
along with kids and adults alike. Hank fits into a pack seamlessly, but will bark through
the fence at neighboring dogs (he is in foster care with six dogs, from 3.5 lbs. to 85 lbs.) He
shows his prey drive with squirrels and birds, but lived comfortably with free roaming
cats. Hank likes being part of things and seeks out attention. He loves to cuddle and will
lean against you for a pet. Hank is crate and house trained, and uses a dog door. He is up
to date on vaccines and neutered. Contact Milo at 415-454-MILO (6456), or visit:

PLUTO, 5 y/o male Weimaraner. Pluto is a handsome, strong, active Weimaraner.
He is ready to go on a 3-5 mile run every morning, but then he is content to nap most
of the day. He enjoys playing with other dogs, but is bossy at times with little dogs
(i.e., he'll push to the front for the affection.) His ideal home will be with a Weim
savvy person or couple with time to exercise and train him. He will love the process
of learning rules and boundaries and will do best in a home that sets expectations and
follows through on them. Pluto is friendly with people, but he is big, active, and
strong, so kids under age 13 might not be best (depends on the children and their
ability to set limitations.) Pluto is improving on leash, though still somewhat
reactive to little dogs barking and running by him. He is neutered and current on all
shots, and was tested for common dog diseases and parasites. No Cats!! This silly boy
with his big ears, feet and head will make anyone smile! In Morgan Hill. Contact
norcalweimrescue@yahoo.com or 925-385-5275.

LOLA, 3 y/o female Weimaraner. When Lola was a puppy, she injured her
right eye while playing in rose bushes, and it had to be removed. She does not
seem to notice; she is very active and LOVES to play Fetch! Until recently, Lola
was an outdoor dog, living with a very busy lady with no time to give Lola the
necessary exercise, training and affection that a Weimaraner needs. Lola is
insecure, not at all surprising given her past. Some of her actions towards other
dogs at first, look aggressive, but it is just Lola expressing her concern. She
plays well with other dogs in the back yard and would enjoy trips to the beach
or other open space areas where she can run! Lola has a fair amount of energy,
but is happy to be a lap dog whenever possible! She is outgoing with people and
rides well in the car. She has not been raised nor tested with kids. No cats!
Lola will do best with a Weim or large breed savvy companion. She is house
trained and ready to settle into a routine of love, affection, exercise and
obedience training. Lola is current on vaccines and spayed. In Oakland.
Contact norcalweimrescue@yahoo.com or 925-385-5275.



BREEZE, 9 y/o female Weimaraner. Breeze is very easy to live with! Her
family was not able to take good care of her and she was getting urinary tract
infections and became incontinent. She is better now! But, the family thought
she was terribly ill, so they took her to the shelter to be put to sleep. Breeze is
doing fantastic! She has had every test possible to rule out illness and disease,
and is currently taking an antibiotic for an infection. We look forward to seeing
her with her new person or people, and enjoying love and affection through her
senior years. Breeze gets along wonderfully with dogs and people! She has LOTS
of energy and is ready to go when you are. No one can believe she will be ten in
December. Breeze is a happy girl who loves to run at the dog park, go on dog
walks, ride in the car, and hang out with her people and dog buddies. She
chases cats and is too energetic for toddlers, though she likes them. She is
current on vaccines, spayed, and all vet records including test results will be
passed on to her adopter. She is a beautiful girl who deserves to live a long, fun
life! In Manteca. Contact norcalweimrescue@yahoo.com or 925-385-5275.



SILVER, 8 y/o female Weimaraner. Silver is a sweet girl who loves to be with people. Sadly, she was not
socialized with dogs much, and spent the last five years in a dog run with little human interaction. She
lived in the country, so the noise of a city or an active family is a little unsettling for her. When Silver gets
affection, she soaks it up! Silver's ideal home is as an only dog in a quiet neighborhood with a yard, so she
can roam. She enjoys taking long naps, and really likes running around the yard, "hunting" for birds,
moles, and squirrels but was raised with cats and did not chases them. She is not used to walking on leash,
and reacts to other dogs, so she needs work in this area. Silver is very gentle with kids, and feels secure with
them, but she gets unsettled by unpredictable noises and energy, so will do best in a home without kids
under age 16. Silver is a wonderful Weim who needs a person with compassion and understanding, in that
she is who she is, due to how she was raised. Everyone who has met her in rescue, wants to see her thrive in
her forever home. Silver is house trained, crate trained (she loves her crate, which is a large wire crate that
she can easily move around in, and see out.) She is current on rabies, recently heart worm tested negative,
and spayed. She has the most beautiful eyes; she will melt your heart if you give her the chance! In
Antioch. Contact norcalweimrescue@yahoo.com.


HOLLY, approx. 1 y/o female Weimaraner. Holly was dropped off
at a shelter without a note and not reclaimed. She is a gentle dog, but
will jump on people. She mostly jumps straight up like a basketball
player! Holly is submissive to other dogs and avoids conflict. Thus
far, she walks good on leash. She is still at the age where she likes to
chew, so she needs to be introduced to safe chew toys and the
command "No". She has the typical Weim energy, so daily exercise is
a must! Holly likes to be pet all over and will snuggle up real close for
affection, even sit in your lap - she is a love! As we get to know Holly
better, we will update her bio. She is current on dhpp, and will be
updated on her rabies and spayed prior to placement. In Fresno.
Contact norcalweimrescue.org or 925-385-5275.
WESTON, approx 2 y/o male Weimaraner. Weston is a good looking fella
with a sweet personality - his tail never stops wagging! He is a super
affectionate boy and appreciates being petted and handled gently (he is
submissive and will lay on his back if handled roughly.) Indoors, he is a
loving velcro dog, but once he's outdoors, his inquisitive nature takes over.
He is not sure about getting into a car; he drops down to the ground and has
to be picked up and put in. But he settles in the car once he is inside. Weston
walks okay on leash but needs obedience training from head to toe (poor guy
really has no idea what is expected of him but he wants to learn and to
please!) Weston is good with other dogs, ignores them when they are barking
next door, and just wants to run and play. He is a few pounds underweight
but this is getting better, recently neutered, rabies updated, and tested
negative for heart worm. In Concord. Contact
norcalweimrescue@yahoo.com or 925-385-5275.
MAGGIE, approx. 7 y/o Weimaraner mix. Maggie was adopted as a
puppy from a shelter, and sadly, the owner has taken ill so his daughter is
looking after Maggie while looking for a new home. This girl has a wonderful
personality and will be a lovely family dog. She is all about tail wags and
love. She has a longer (gorgeous) coat and requires some brushing on a
regular basis, but of course she loves it! Maggie acts much younger than her
age; she has been very well cared for and lived a stress free life, and it shows.
Maggie is the happiest when she is with people and she will bond to new
people quickly. She really likes to play, especially with other dogs! She does
not like being left alone, but is a good girl if only for a few hours in the back
yard. She is great with kids, adores them! She does not chase the chickens in
the back yard, so she probably could live with a cat. . Maggie is house
trained, not crate trained, current on shots and spayed. In Oakland.

ROXY, 3 y/o female Weimaraner. Roxy has been with her
Weim buddy, Deisel since she and he were pups (from
different litters) so they need to be placed in a home together.
Roxy is a sweet, gentle girl who is very tolerant of children.
She gets along with other dogs, though she tends to stay to
herself at the dog park. She loves to play with Deisel! She
enjoys going for car rides and dog walks, though she does best
with a prong collar. Roxy sleeps quietly on her dog bed at
night (she is not crate trained) and is house trained. No cats!
She is a bit picky when it comes to her dog food, and will only
eat Nutro Lamb and rice. Current on shots and spayed. In
Gorman. Contact norcalweimrescue@yahoo.com or
925-385-5275. IMMEDIATE FOSTER HOME NEEDED!
DIESEL, 3 y/o male Weimaraner. Diesel has lived with Roxy since he was a
pup so we will are looking for a home for both Weims to live out their lives
together. Diesel is a handsome, big boy at 98lbs (he is on a diet to lose a few
pounds.) He is good with other dogs and enjoys the dog park, however he does
not do well when he is on leash and another dog approaches off leash. Diesel
needs some obedience training and good leadership so he can learn to be calm on
leash. He enjoys going for runs or long walks, being with people, and hanging
out with Roxy. Diesel is good with kids, (he was raised with a baby, but he can
be a bit careless and knock them down.) No cats! Diesel is good in the car and
walks good on leash with a prong collar. He is house trained, not crate trained,
knows basic commands and sleeps on a dog pillow at night. Diesel is okay to be
outside or in the house while his people are at gone. Diesel is current on vaccines
and neutered. In Gorman. Contact norcalweimrescue@yahoo.com or
925-385-5275. IMMEDIATE FOSTER HOME NEEDED!

Java 9 y/o female Weimaraner. Java is a pretty girl - she is an AKC champion - a retired model as it were.
This quirky senior gal loves getting out of the house and going for walks and runs, or just sitting with you at a
coffee shop. She is mellow during the day (loves taking sun naps), but can be up and ready to go whenever you
are. Java enjoys the simpler things in life, like playing on the beach, drinking from the garden hose or taking a
car ride (which is her favorite activity!) She is good on a leash and in the car, but is also protective of her space
and will bark if a stranger or other dogs get too close. Java adores people, and has lived with other dogs her
entire life, but is skeptical. She loves the dogs she knows but is fearful of meeting new doggy friends. She does
very well being left inside the house when her person is away at work; she in nondestructive and house broken,
and she will wait patiently until you come home. Java was not raised with children and they make her very
nervous. The one thing that makes Java the happiest is just being around her people, whether in your bed or
on the couch with you, she will give you nothing but love. Sadly, Java lost her lifelong companion a little over
a year ago, and as a result, she and her dog mates were all re-homed with family and NCWR. But Java's
current caretaker (a family member who stepped in to help), has a schedule she is stuck with, that gives her no
time for Java. She is in great health, spayed, current on rabies, and recently tested heart worm negative.
Java's owner recently moved from the Bay Area to Los Angeles but is able to transport for meet and greets
and/or adoption. Contact norcalweimrescue@yahoo.com or 925-385-5275.

RYDER, 3 mos. male Weimaraner. Ryder is from a litter of four, and a result of an accidental breeding.
Ryder's litter mates are in their new forever homes, but Ryder is in foster until we find him a very special
home. Ryder does not use his back legs normally - he "bunny-hops". UC Davis Veterinary believes his
condition is either genetic (myelodysplasia), or he suffered trauma during birth or just after, when he
could have been accidentally stepped on. Xrays on 9/7/10 should confirm the origin of Ryder's condition.
Ryder is a wonderful puppy! He learned house training at age six weeks, and he taught himself how to use
the doggy door despite his physical limitation. Ryder has gained a lot of muscle over the last two months,
and is able to get around really well. He is in foster with two large male Weimaraners and he is having a
blast! Of course Ryder likes to chew, but he is very good about seeking out designated dog toys, so long as
his choices for other things like shoes, is limited. He is a bright dog, learning things very quickly, and
very little fear of new experiences. Ryder has been on many car rides and enjoys them. He is not crate
trained, but laundry basket trained. He is current on his puppy shots. Ryder's forever home
requirements: A home with carpet or several floor rugs to help him get traction off his back legs. He will
do best with a stay at home person while he develops his social and behavioral skills, and he has become
accustomed to having a dog companion. Swimming with a life preserver would be ideal for ongoing
physical therapy. This very special boy will fill your heart with smiles! In Carmichael. Contact
norcalweimrescue@yahoo.com or 925-385-5275.



PRINCESS, 1.5 y/o female Weimaraner. Princess is a delightful, pretty
girl. This girl traveled from San Diego to Sacramento to a better life; her
previous owners used her as an alarm system (tied to a chain most of the
time.) But now that she is safe, her rescuer realizes she does not have the
time to give Princess what she needs; leadership, lots of affection, and
exercise! Princess is incredibly forgiving; she loves people and attention
and is a very happy girl. The home Princess came from had children, but
she does not have good manners (jumps on people and will knock kids
over), so children with a lot of dog experience and age 10 and over is best.
Princess has only been tested with a male dog so far, and she loves to play
with him. Cats? As we learn more about Princess, her bio will be updated.
In Sacramento. Contact norcalweimrescue@yahoo.com or 925-385-5275.
