Available for Adoption
AVAILABLE SOON: PIPER is a lovely Blue female Weim, small, 50 lbs, who is currently with our trainer in Redwood City. Once she heals from her spay surgery, our trainer will be working with her, and seeing how she does with small playgroups. We will still need to learn more about her before she is ready to go to an adopter, but we know she will need someone that is experienced with the breed, and can exercise her. She will benefit with ongoing training and possibly socialization with other dogs once we know she can play with them outside the home. So far she has been very dominant, and may do best as an only dog. She's an absolute sweetheart with people!
If you think she sounds like she may be good in your home, please fill out our application at https://form.jotform.com/212066727579162 |
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.

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.
