Available Weims in Northern CaliforniaEven though you don’t see your perfect dog here today, don’t despair. We constantly get new dogs. Many dogs never post to our site as the right, approved home is waiting when the dog comes to us. It is important to become home-approved to be on that list.
We cannot place dogs in homes with kids younger than 10 years old. Weimaraners can be too rambunctious for young children. |
Our perfect rescue home is one where the dog will have little or no alone time, good daily exercise and Weimaraner experience. If your dog will be alone more than a minimal amount of time, we will not place a dog with you.
AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION
We are anticipating that more young dogs will be coming into our program as people who adopted dogs during the pandemic are now going back to work full time, leaving them with no time for the attention and training these dogs need. Please complete the adoption application using the button above to begin the approval process for becoming a potential adopter.
IN FOSTER - RECEIVING MEDICAL CARE

Meet Molly! Tragically, she lost both of her humans and needs a new home to spend her golden years. She is currently in one of NCWR's fabulous foster homes with a loving foster mom and a male Weim. There, she is working on losing some weight and addressing some fairly serious health concerns. Molly has some issues with her heart that cause her to have irregular beats. This is being addressed by a cardiologist. She also had a blood panel with some irregularities. We will be getting an abdominal ultrasound for Molly to help diagnose the reason for her abnormal blood work. Keep dear Molly in your thoughts and we will continue to update our followers about her progress.

Three-year-old Huesito came to us from a family in Mexico, who had to move to a home where they could not keep him. His first stop was an amazing foster in San Francisco. Next, Huesito got caught up on some medical care that included a dental and an extraction. Last stop: His fantastic and loving foster family! You see, Huesito’s foster family decided to make this lucky boy a permanent member of their family, which includes mom, dad, and human kids who enjoy taking this lucky boy to the beach and many other fun activities! Congrats Huesito!

One-year-old Mordy is definitely a lucky boy! He came to us from a family in Redding, who could not give him the time, attention and training he needed. This wonderful boy was adopted by a family in a beautiful area located in the Sierra Foothills. Mordy is now a spoiled boy who gets tons of love and attention from his new mom and dad and enjoys hiking, camping and other outdoor adventures. What a lucky boy!

We are so happy to announce that amazing Aleeda is home! Her foster family has decided to keep her! How could they resist this smarty pants girl? This 12-year-old is a healthy, happy bundle of joy and energy loves to be active. In addition to all the basic commands, Miss Aleeda knows fun commands like “shake (both paws), sit pretty, play dead, roll over, and back up.” Aleeda’s new life includes mom, dad, human kids and fun activities with her canine sibling. Congratulations to Aleeda!

Max came to NCWR last year from a shelter and was adopted by a wonderful couple and gained a sweet four-legged sister in the process! Tragically and unexpectedly, both Max and her sister Zena lost their human dad and needed to come back to us. Because Max had a history of guarding her people, we put out the call for a special home that might consider keeping the girls together, as well as continue to work with Maxine on her training! As luck would have it a wonderful family applied with us and we are thrilled to report that Max and Zena have found their forever home—together! They have settled in beautifully with no issues into a family that realized right away how much love they had to give. Congratulations to these delightful and deserving girls!

Ada, now Bella, was surrendered by her owners who could not provide the attention and exercise she needed. A bit timid at first, Bella is unsure of change, but she is learning one important thing more and more each day—she’s home (and that she loves snow)! A family who had lost their previous Weim and very much missed having one, opened their heart and home to this little lady, and she is coming out of her shell thanks to an abundance of patience and love in her new digs in Reno. With two kids to also call her own, there is no shortage of attention, exercise, and fun for her now! Our best wishes to Bella and her new family.

Javi came to us as a very reactive pup, being surrendered by his owner who was not able to work with him on the training he needed. While Javi was in our care, we learned that he was an exceptionally loving dog and yes—super reactive! His training will be ongoing with his new owner who can not only provide company 100% of the time but also the guidance to work on the reactivity. As it turned out he was too stressed in city settings, but through a referral by one of our volunteers--Javi finally found his perfect match. His new dad is a Wildlife Biologist and was looking for a dog to train to work in the wilderness with him all day and hang out and chill all night. We decided this would be the perfect job for this active pup who always approaches everything with equal parts gusto and love. We can’t wait to see how this amazing guy matures with an experienced handler and tons of exercise and attention! Good boy, Javi!

Han Solo came to us late last summer with cataracts as well as exhibiting some seizure activity. It took months to stabilize the seizures and complete the required eye specialist consultation and testing. This wonderful boy finally received his cataract removal surgery in early December. Han’s foster family officially adopted him on Christmas day!
From an outdoor property dog that was blind-- to a young Weim that can see again--it's been an amazing journey for this handsome, sweet guy. All of this was made possible with an outpouring of financial support from our Weim community as well as that of his fosters' business in order to raise the necessary funds to cover the surgery. We can't thank you enough! |

Dear Oliver is being adopted by the family of his dreams. He is one year old and is a big boy that loves to play like a puppy! His new family consists of work from home Mom and two grown human kids with whom he will enjoy bonding by going for long walks, playing at the park and practicing obedience training. However, his favorite family member is an 18-month-old Sheep Doodle - Oliver's new canine sibling. The two youngsters love to play and roughhouse nonstop....Yes, a tired dog is a happy dog. Good boy Oliver! You landed in paradise!

Sadly, Gus was given up by his previous family who had given him to a friend. But great news for him, the person that received him knew just who to call to find him a wonderful home. This sweet guy loves to play and get the zoomies like most puppies--but unlike most of the dogs we get, he seemed to really like cats! Good news for his new family who had been waiting many, many months for a young dog that would not only peacefully coexist with their Ragdoll kitty but also play when the cat wants to play! Win-win! Gus, now known as Ody (short for Odysseus), will get tons of attention from his work from home dad, his son, and has a new buddy that looks almost as big as he is. He will enjoy all the trails and beach play near their Pleasanton area home. Congratulations Ody!

Midna's family could no longer care for her after they had a baby, and opted to reach out so that we could find her a wonderful new home that can handle that puppy energy with little alone time. We had someone waiting who had kitties as she does really well with them. She's now enjoying the great outdoors on hikes and runs in beautiful Pollock Pines!

Penny's family could no long keep her, so they made the difficult decision to contact NCWR to help. Of course, we were happy to help! Fate also stepped in....Her new family had lost their dear canine family member and had just decided it was time to heal their hearts and adopt a new furry family member. Penny is up to the challenge of filling that void and keeping her new mom and dad busy and entertained with love, laughter fun and activity. Good girl, Penny!

Buck's owner's job required that he travel extensively, so he contacted NCWR for help finding Buck a home where he could continue getting the time, attention and love that Buck was used to. Of course, we were happy to help! Handsome Buck was adopted by one of our wonderful past adopters, who had recently lost his dog. Buck now enjoys living in beautiful San Francisco and gets lots of attention, exercise and activities. We are so happy for Buck!

Dear Gracie came to us from the streets of Mexico. First step was to one of NCWR's fabulous foster homes, where she proved herself to be the sweetest of the sweet! Gracie was very much in need of a dental, so NCWR made that a reality. Then, with her new toothy smile, Gracie was adopted by one of our amazing volunteers and past adopters. She now enjoys life with Dad, work from home mom and canine brother, Buster. Congratulations Miss Gracie!

Tequila and Paco came to us from a shelter after their owner dropped them off. We brought them into the Nor Cal Weim fold as a bonded pair and believe they were likely littermates about two years old; both pups exhibited some leash reactivity but were otherwise very sweet and friendly.
Sadly, a vet exam and testing revealed that Tequila had a hemangiosarcoma on her shoulder. Originally the plan was to amputate the leg, but further scans revealed the cancer had spread to other organs, including her liver and spleen. Tequila lived out the remainder of her life with a wonderful foster family who took phenomenal care of her and made sure she knew nothing but kindness and love. We can’t save them all, but we can make sure that they live the rest of their lives in palliative care knowing they are valued family members. NCWR can’t thank our foster family enough for stepping up to be there for her as it could not have been easy for them. RIP sweet girl. On a happier note, her handsome brother Paco (now aptly named “Beau”), met his forever family while at our trainer’s home! He is living his best life and we are so happy to report that even when dressed as a turkey, he’s enjoying each day to the fullest! He gets all the adventure, exercise and cuddles a young pup could possibly need. Congratulations Beau! |

Young Rudy's (formerly Knight) former life of being sequestered in the basement for most of the day will soon be just a bad memory. The family that purchased him did not do their research & were ill-equipped to deal with the energy of our beloved breed. But Rudy’s new Mom & Dad have the experience, time & energy to ensure that Rudy will have a happy, fulfilling life! They were looking for a companion to share their adventures.Rudy will run, hike & explore the trails near their home in Dublin. He is in dog heaven & loving his new life.
