OUR ADOPTION PROCESS

Please be patient as it may take a few days to respond to your application.

You must complete the entire approval process before meeting any of our rescue dogs. This process consists of a phone interview followed by 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.

​Our Ideal Home

• little or no alone time
• vigorous exercise every day
• lots of family activity
• a minimum of a small potty yard attached to the house with a 6 foot high fence

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.

​SURRENDERING YOUR WEIMARANER

If your Weimaraner meets all of these criteria, we can probably find him/her a new forever home:

• in Northern California
• pure bred Weimaraner (mixes considered on a case-by-case basis)
• no history of dog or human aggression
• moderate or no medical issues

Each case will be carefully considered. We will do whatever we can to help deserving dogs.

To begin the process, please send us the following information:

• recent photos of the dog
• reasons for surrender
• your contact information
• best day/time to contact you

Please email this information to the following email address [email protected] 

Please note the process can take a few weeks depending on the needs of the dog.
