How Adoption Works
Fill Out An Application
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.
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 NCWRInfo@googlegroups.com or send us a message on Facebook.
Complete the Approval Process
You must complete the entire application and approval process before meeting any of our rescue dogs. This process consists of completing the application above, a phone interview, and a home visit (or photos of your yard).
For the safety of adopting families and our rescue dogs, we rarely place dogs in homes with children under 10 years old unless it is a puppy or the dog has a known, positive history of living with babies & toddlers.
Our ideal adoptive home has:
- minimal alone time
- age appropriate exercise every day
- lots of family activity
- a minimum of a small potty yard attached to the house with a 6 foot high fence
Each situation will be evaluated on a case by case basis. Please be patient as it may take a few days to respond to your application.
Pay 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.
