Available for Adoption!
Beautiful Houston loves his ball chasing at the beach and does well with other dogs. He is just three years old and is fostered in the South Bay Area. He is neutered and UTD on all vaccinations. He has been through a professional training course but like all dogs, needs the reinforcement at home so he can practice all he has learned. If you are interested in him please fill out an application at https://form.jotform.com/212066727579162 Please note that many of our dogs find fosters and subsequent adopters quickly who already have applications on file. Please also check our Facebook page for incoming dogs needing homes. |

Adoption Process
We strive to post most dogs that we intake on social media as well as our website. Once a dog is posted as “available for adoption” we will ask for applications for that particular dog. We will review, interview, and select the adopter most suitable for that Weimaraner’s needs. Due to constraints in volunteer availability, we may not be able to interview every applicant for every dog. The adoption application is located here.
If you have already filled out an application to adopt and are interested in a particular dog on our website or Facebook, please send us an email to [email protected] or send us a message on Facebook.

Application and Approval
You must complete the entire application and approval process before meeting any of our rescue dogs. This process consists of completing an application using the button below, a phone interview, and a home visit (during the pandemic, we’ll ask for photos of your yard instead).

Adoption Fees
Our adoption fees vary per adoption, ranging from $0 to $700 depending on many factors but primarily the dog’s age. Sometimes we need to spend very little on vet care, rehab etc. and sometimes we spend thousands to give a Weim a chance at a happy life.
If we based our fees on our costs for each dog respectively, young healthy dogs with small fees would be quite easy to place. Older dogs with issues and huge fees however would be very hard to place. Similar to insurance, our adoption fee structure spreads our costs over all our rescues to make sure every dog finds a forever home.
Payment of adoption fees and a signed adoption contract are required when adopting a dog.
