Available for Adoption
|
CHARLIE is an adorable and sweet two year old that is a puppy at heart. Yes, he loves to play like a puppy, but he also needs some basic obedience training! He is very well behaved out of the home, at outdoor cafes, shops, etc, but can be over exuberant inside and jump on his own people for attention. The good news is that he is a fast learner, and loves following a good routine. We always love adopters that enroll in obedience classes, as it's also a fun activity for you and your new family member, and helps with the bonding process!
Charlie tends to pull hard when on a collar and leash only, but does so much better with a chest harness. His recall is fairly good, unless he's preoccupied with something. These are two areas that will see great improvement with training. He loves toys, but may love your socks even more . So watch out! Most often he will relinquish his treasure for a good treat though. Charlie has done well with the other dogs in the foster home. He's been curious about the chickens at the property, but has not been exposed to cats. In true Weim fashion, he loves to cuddle with his humans! If you are looking for an enthusiastic and affectionate young Weim to share your home with, Charlie may very well be that boy! Children in the home must be over 10 years old. No cats. Daily exercise is necessary. If you live out of the area, you must agree to travel to meet him. He is neutered, microchipped, and UTD on vaccines. Fostered in Sacramento. 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.
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).
For the safety of adopting families and our rescue dogs, we do not 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.

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 fee structure spreads our costs over all our rescues to make sure every dog finds a forever home.
