BRUTUS, approx. 8 yr old male Weimaraner. Brutus is a big boy at about 110 lbs. (he is on a diet :-))
He matches his size with the amount of love and smiles he brings to his people. He loves people and likes to
be petted, scratched, and talked to. He also loves food! He will steal food when his people aren't looking
and he is very clever with counter surfing and getting into the trash. He gets along with other dogs but
chases cats. Brutus needs to live in an adult home where he can learn rules and boundaries with food. He
is a good boy, and since he is so food motivated, he will make an excellent student in all areas of obedience
training. Brutus is learning leash manners, never barks, is house trained, and is comfortable staying in
the home alone for several hours while his person is gone. Brutus needs a forever home where he can
settle into a daily routine of running or walking, and if possible, live with a dog companion or two. He was
in a foster home for several months without a lot of human or dog interaction, so he's spending some
quality time at a doggy day care where he is playing with other dogs and enjoying the company of people.
Brutus was picked up as a stray which might explain his desire for food and the need to protect it. Brutus
is neutered, micro-chipped, current on shots, and recently had a senior "well check" that was positive. All
records will be provided. In San Francisco. Contact norcalweimrescue@yahoo.com or 925-385-5275.





GUS, 4 yr old male Weimaraner. Gus is a big boy at 91 lbs. who likes to be active and likes to be lazy :) He
LOVES to play fetch, especially when retrieving balls and frisbees from the river. Gus has fun in the water, is OK
on leash, and while not tested yet, might be good off leash as he responds well to voice commands. Gus gets along
with all other dogs in the best way; when he senses tension from another dog, he walks away. Gus has a low prey
drive for a Weim, and is a bit mellower than most, so he might get along with cats and even enjoy spending the
afternoon sunbathing with one. He is very loyal and attentive to his person, and will respond quickly to a
correction. He knows the word "off" to get off the furniture (although sometimes he tries to just make room for you
first before getting off.) Gus sometimes acts like a pup in that he'll try to get your attention with his mouth; he
does not bite but at times he is similar to a mouthy puppy that has not had obedience training or been taught
good manners. Otherwise, his bad habits list is short; he counter surfs and will break into drawers to eat food,
socks or dish rags. Since he is so very "food" motivated, a small dog treat can be turned into golden training tool
for this boy. So far, he knows "sit", "down", "wait" and is very good with "come". Gus would enjoy living in a quiet
home with a person and a dog (or maybe a cat) to bond with. He has so much love to share! Gus is neutered and
current on shots and being treated for an ear infection that will require regular ear cleanings to keep at bay. In
Sacramento. Contact norcalweimrescue@yahoo.com or 925-385-5275.


HOWIE, 5-6 yr. old male Weimaraner. Howie is fun-loving, happy, tail wagging boy at about 85 lbs.
He has the cutest face and loves to be loved. About four months ago, Howie was taken in by an elderly
woman neighbor, after his owner lost his life in a house fire. We do not know much about his past, but it is
clear someone taught him commands and got him around people, dogs and cats and he likes all of them.
Howie knows sit, stay, lie down and "speak!" He bonds quickly to his person, and really wants to be that
person's number one companion. He gets along great with other dogs; he just blends in with whatever
pack, big or small to whom he is introduced. Howie's foster Mom reports, "He is the easiest foster dog we've
ever had!" Just the same, Howie needs a dog savvy person as he will test boundaries and act spoiled when
he does not want to do what he is asked. Howie does respond very well to a calm and assertive voice, and
he wants to please. Howie LOVES to play ball and to go on walks and hikes! He will do best in a home that
is active (hiking, running, or use of a treadmill - he learned how to use one in about five minutes,)
although Howie would sleep at your feet all day if you let him :-) Howie is cat-friendly - he even gave his
prior house mate "rides" by gently carrying the cat in his mouth. He rides really well in the car, and is
crate trained, though he does not like being left in his crate if you are not in the room. Howie is neutered
and updated on rabies vaccine. In Woodside. Contact norcalweimrescue@yahoo.com or 925-385-5275.
LOGAN, 9 mos. male Weimaraner. A few months back, Logan was hit by a car and suffered
multiple pelvic fractures. Oakland Animal Control convinced his family to surrender Logan so
he could have the surgery he needed and find a forever home where he could be specially cared
for. While in foster, Logan is participating in weekly water therapy sessions which will need to
continue for several more months to ensure he gains strength and balance. Logan was adopted
recently but the family discovered even their cat was too active for him, as he would try to
play and would slip on surfaces such as linoleum and hardwood, to the point where it was
dangerous for him. So, we are looking for a fairly quiet home in the animal sense, but a
mellow, older dog companion would be wonderful for Logan. And of course, he will need a home
without stairs and slippery floors (carpeting or many, many stable rugs is a must.) He will
enjoy going places in the car, going on walks (not runs), and he might decide he likes to swim at
some point (so far water therapy is not his favorite activity.) Logan is a very special boy. He is
a trooper, a fighter, and has a spirit that affects everyone around him in a positive way. Logan
gets along with other dogs and all people. He is still a puppy at heart, so he is learning about
rules and boundaries. Logan is house trained, current on puppy shots, and intact (he cannot be
neutered until his bones have fully developed - approx. 1 yr of age). In the Sacramento area.

RILEY, 9 yr old female Weimaraner. Riley was surrendered to a shelter due to her
family moving. She is very agile for her age, love-able and has the most beautiful,
penetrating sea-glass green eyes. She is good with children and greets other dogs
with a submissive approach. She has not been tested with cats. She likes people and
attention, going on walks and roaming around her yard. She has a lot of energy and
will rise to any occasion, be it chasing the ball, going to the dog park, or a dog walk
through the neighborhood. But her first day in her foster home, she was spyed on,
and found sleeping in the yard, in the sun, right next to her new dog friend. She does
not appear to have anxiety riding in a car, but does get very excited on the way "TO!"
a destination, then falls asleep on the way home. She has a few fatty tumors that
the shelter vet felt were non-threatening, and a private vet agrees and says she is a
healthy older woman. Riley is current on all vaccines, microchipped and spayed. In
Redwood City. Contact norcalweimrescue@yahoo.com or 925-385-5275.

ADEN, 4.5 yr old male Weimaraner. Aden is a barrell of laughs, he can be described as silly! He has lots of
expressions and enjoys people and dogs to interact with. Last August, he was diagnosed with Addison's disease, an
adrenal deficiency that is managed with medication. A properly treated Addisons dog can live a normal, active
life; please visit www.Addisondogs.com or www.marvistavet.com. Aden is worth the added effort and cost as he is
a heart-warming companion. He needs people to love him, and lets you know he appreciates the attention by
giving gentle kisses. In the warmer weather we're having, Aden is following his dog friends into the swimming
pool and loving it! He has quite the personality; he especially likes to follow his Weim foster brother from yard to
yard NS room to room all the while respecting him as alpha and Aden the follower. He loves toys, stuffed animals
and bones, and will carry them around with his tail wagging showing complete happiness. He also loves to play
fetch, and swim in lakes and the ocean (and now the pool!) Aden knows "sit", "stay" and "down" and looks to his
foster Mom for his next command. He likes to eat - what Weim doesn't, and will counter surf for apples and
bananas when no one is looking (and sometimes when you are looking!) Aden needs daily exercise, love and his
medication, and to not move from home to home. Cats are OK. He is neutered and current on all vaccines. Aden
just had his annual blood work and his levels are perfect, so his medication is doing its job. This is a very sweet
boy looking for a special home willing to take him in despite his medical condition and he will return the gesture
with smiles and affection! In San Ramon. Contact norcalweimrescue@yahoo.com or 925-385-5275.


SMOKEY, 4 yr old male Weimaraner. Smokey is a gorgious yet cute,
athletic Weim, who enjoys cuddling with his people after a good run. He is
very smart and ready to learn and engage in any activity you ask him to.
Smokey likes going to the dog park, dog walks, and would make a perfect
jogging partner. He is very social, so he needs people or a dog companion
around all the time. Smokey will enjoy the process of learning manners
(discipline) as he loves getting attention and has a mind that likes to be
challenged. He is submissive with people and gets along with dogs of all types
and sizes, but will tease (in human terms) a weak dog in a pack. Smokey
comes from a two homes with children where there were no boundaries and a
lot of energy, noise and excitement. He really needs a home that is active,
but consistent in a routine as well as in applying rules that Smokey needs to
follow. If he could be a hunting buddy, Smokey would have found paradise,
but in lieue of that activity, he would enjoy long hikes, runs and playing at
the dog park. Smokey is a healthy, beautiful boy waiting to mature in the
right home. Smokey walks good on leash with reminders to move along,
loves car rides, and is crate trained. He is neutered and current on shots. In
Pleasant Hill. Contact norcalweimrescue@yahoo.com or 925-385-5275.




BABY, 4 year old female Weimaraner. Baby is a super sweet girl who loves to be with her people. She is
especially good with children. She follows her people everywhere and loves to snuggle. Her favorite place is in your
lap…. head on chest/shoulder. She loves to ride in the car and to go on walks, but barks at everything including fire
hydrants, garbage cans, people, shadows and dogs. She pulls slightly on leash but was walked by a 7 year old. She
knows the basic commands. She will chase cats, so no cats. Everyone agrees she is "an easy keeper". However, she
does have issues; she will bark when left outside even a couple minutes (she wants to be with her people), and will
counter surf if really good stuff is left out. Because she is a big girl she can reach all the way to the back of the
kitchen counter. Physically, she has some issues. We believe she hurt her back in the past and as a result,
occasionally suffers back pain/dysfunction that may require treatment with Steroids. Back surgery may at some
point, be recommended but vets we have taken her to cannot say for sure. She has short front legs relative to her
back end, and a longer than usual back that all likely contribute to her occasional back injury. Now for the good
news… Baby is hands-down the sweetest Weimaraner you will ever have the pleasure of having as a part of your
family. She has the softest coat and silky ears and will adore you for petting her. As she becomes more comfortable
in her new home and new surroundings, the barking will reduce as happened in one of her foster homes. She is
spayed and current on rabies vaccine. Contact norcalweimrescue@yahoo.com or 925-385-5275.


INDIGO, 7 yr old male Blue Weimaraner. Indigo is very playful, smart and loving.
He was adopted by a lady who lived in Florida, and a year later, had to relocate to
California for work. She discovered Indigo could not live in an apartment, especially
while she worked 10+ hour days (he would get into mischief out of complete boredom!)
So, she put him in doggy day care and he was doing great, but she could not afford to
pay for day care daily, plus when she travels for work. Indigo is very young for his age;
he loves to play ball (though he will not always bring it back.) He also enjoys gnawing
on his Nylabones, napping on his dog bed, swimming in the ocean, going on dog walks,
and socializing with other dogs at doggy day care. He has never been with children or
cats. Ideally, he needs a home where he will have access to his person or other people
during the day, for lots of attention and physical activity. Indigo is a beautiful "blue"
Weim with a long tail and a little bit of extra weight to lose. He is neutered, current on
vaccines, and on heart worm preventative. In San Ramon. Contact
norcalweimrescue@yahoo.com or 925-385-5275.


CHANDLER, approx. 3 yr old male Weimaraner mix. Chandler has cute
little white spot on his chest, a docked tail, and a is on the thinner side. He is
adorable and sweet and likes to like your hands! Chandler was picked up as a
stray south of Fresno and spent the required time at the shelter before NCWR
intervened. Chandler was described by shelter staff as a sweet, docile dog. He is
now in a foster home, getting to know his new family, including a large and a
small dog. Chandler is calm and well behaved, though his sporting dog
bloodlines could start to appear as Chandler feels more secure in his
surroundings! He will be neutered soon, after he puts on a little weight. He was
heart worm tested (negative), and is housetrained and current on all vaccines.
As we get to know Chandler better, his bio and pictures will be updated. in Galt.
Contact norcalweimrescue@yahoo.com or 925-385-5275.


CHANCE, 6 yr old male Weimaraner. Chance was surrendered to a
shelter by his family who described him as a happy dog. He gets
along with everyone; adults, children and dogs, but has not been
tested with cats. Chance enjoys being with his family, going on car
rides, dog walks, and he especially likes to swim. Chance has been
very well-behaved while confined in his kennel at the shelter and
waiting to be rescued. Chance is a medium to tall boy with a constant
smile and adorable long ears. As soon as we have pictures and an
update on his personality from his foster Mom, his bio will be
updated. Chance is neutered and current on all vaccines. In Auburn.
Please contact norcalweimrescue@yahoo.com or 925-385-5275.

LUCIUS, 4.5 yr old male Weimaraner. Lucius is a gorgeous, sweet Weim. He is in great
health and amazing physical shape and needs to be part of an active family with a dog
companion his size to play with. He enjoys going on car rides and swimming, and would make
an excellent running partner. Lucius was turned into rescue after having lived chained to a
dog house full time; his adopter must surrender him as there is no one home 12 hrs a day due to
busy work schedules. Lucius needs a companion near by 24/7; this could be a human, dog or
cat. But before leaving him unsupervised, he must trust that his person will return; this will
take time and practice. Otherwise, Lucius will get anxious and he will dig, chew and fly over
the fence to get out.) Lucius is amazing with other dogs and cats and he never barks, but
whines when left alone. He is like a bunny with everyone he meets, including children. It
seems he was trained as a bird hunting dog when he was young, as he loves to swim and run for
hours! He also really likes to eat, so food left on the counter disappears when he is in the house.
He deserves some serious one on one positive reinforcement and discipline to achieve his
ultimate "wonder dog" status. He is a sensitive and precious Weim boy and is going to make the
right family very happy and proud to have him. He is extremely handsome, and his new
parents will hear this constantly from strangers when bringing him out on public adventures.
He is current on vaccines, on heart guard preventative, and will be neutered July 2nd. In
Calistoga. Contact norcalweimrescue@yahoo.com or 925-385-5275.
