| The vast majority
of Weimaraners in Rescue Programs come from irresponsible breeding by back yard
breeders and puppy mills trying to make money off their unfortunate dog
prisoners. PLEASE DO NOT SUPPORT THEM! They prey on uneducated
people with cheap prices and often unhealthy dogs (physically and mentally) They
try to dupe the unsuspecting public about "rare blue" Weimaraners - these are
just dogs deliberately bred (one parent must be blue or black) with a dilute
black gene and it is a disqualifying fault in the
Weimaraner Club of America. NO
ETHICAL BREEDER BREEDS BLUE WEIMARANERS!
Also, NOTE: if the breeders say their pups are not AKC registered because of some weird reason RUN! This means AKC has inspected them and because their operation was substandard, they can no longer register pups with AKC! Often they make up some story about how they "dont use AKC because they support something or other" but the truth is they are BANNED BY AKC!! The "puppy mill registries" do not inspect any of the slime operations and will register anything that pays the fee.

12/2/11 LOCATED IN CHARLESTON, SC. Kona is a very young appearing 5 yr old neutered male, and heartworm negative. He was turned into the animal shelter for unknown reasons. Kona is underweight but we are working on that and he eats well. He is very handsome and loves to play with other dogs. Kona is quite obedient too. He will come right back when you call him. He does not show any aggression with other dogs and would make a nice family dog for a family with perhaps a female. No cats. Here is a short video of Kona running around our farm with two other dogs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCH3d7eFKm4 Adoption fee: $250

10/28/11 LOCATED IN COLUMBIA, SC. Sadie is a sweet, very pretty, petite female approximately 2 yrs old who was dumped at a county animal pound with 8 mixed breed pups. The facility found homes for the pups but decided to put Sadie to sleep. We intervened and saved Sadie! Sadie is a happy girl and gets along well with other dogs but no cats. She is housebroken, crate trained and sits on command. She is leashed trained. She is up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. Sadie is scheduled to be spayed on Nov 30. After that she is available to be adopted. Sadie is very smart and is able to open gates and jump fences, so outside supervision is necessary. She likes to be with her people or her other dog friends. Here is Sadie running around our farm. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MRu9RG7ZPI

END OF AVAILABLE DOGS FOR ADOPTION.

Would you
like to know what the "AKC Puppy mills" do to their "breeding stock"? They
breed them every season until they die or cannot produce puppies anymore.
Then they dump them on the side of the road or at the shelters. We see this frequently.
Some have NEVER been touched by a kind human. They are noosed, bred, their
pups taken and they are then kicked out in the yard again, rarely with any
shelter, and food thrown to them on the ground.
Sadly, we have had to euthanize some of them because they are so terrified of humans that they cannot ever be adopted. Please do NOT buy from puppy mills!
How can you tell if it is a Puppy Mill? LOOK AROUND! If there are three or more dogs bring bred, 3 or more different breeds - RUN!

LOCATED IN COLUMBIA, SC Sampson is a well behaved male
about two years old. He is neutered, up to date on all shots, and
heartworm negative. He gets along well with other dogs, but is
untested with cats. He knows his name, usually comes when called, and
is always glad to have human attention. He has no food aggression,
loves to be hugged, and allows one to manipulate his feet with only
the most minor signs of annoyance. He was not an eager swimmer on this
trip, but with a little encouragement, he will be swimming. He walks
well on a leash and will make a wonderful family pet.

ADOPTED! 11/12/11 LOCATED IN
MARION, SC I just wanted to let you know how wonderful Lila
is and how she is doing. This must be the most loving and sweet dog
ever! She is starting to relax and make herself at home. She does great
in a crate or the dog run. Everything about her is gentle - taking food
from hands to the way she interacts with Phoenix. Phoenix is working so
hard to get her to play with him. She is showing signs that she may want
to, but is just not ready to let loose. She is getting along with him
great. They snuggle together on the couch and right now they both are
sleeping on the bed together. She will let us take her bowl away from
her and she doesn't even bat an eye. She will ride in the car great and
will jump up into her crate like a champ. She LOVES to cuddle and LOVES
her belly rubs. She rolls over and asks for them. Her tail is always
wagging, even when I have to clean her ears and put the drops in her
eyes. She has had a bath and stood still in the tub. We've also started
working on her nails. She was SOOOO good. Let us clip and dremel. She
did not move an inch. I wish our dogs would stand like that for their
nails! :) Started taking her on walks and she does good on a leash. A
little pulling when she gets excited, but mostly just walks beside you.
She said that her teeth looked really healthy. Lila is a big
girl and weighs in around 80 lbs. She really isn't overweight, just has
NO muscle....all chub. She is on a diet now.
I do believe she is going to make someone a wonderful house dog and best
friend. She is a good one!

up do being relocated to TX for a new job. She is housebroken, very
socialized , swims and hunts well. Margaux finished her show Championship with
ease winning Best of Breed from the classes. She loves children & will make a
wonderful family dog for a fortunate family. She would do best as a
companion for kids, a male dog, but no cats. Here is a short video
of her on our farm.

12/1/11 ADOPTED! 9/5/11 LOCATED IN CHARLESTON, SC. Kirby is a 2-3 yr old very sweet, now neutered boy who was found as a stray in terrible shape. He was nursed back to health in our Rescue program. He is up to date on all vaccines and will make a wonderful family dog. He loves to run and play. He gets along well with other dogs and kids. Kirby has a beautiful face! He is a little too clumsy for little kids but older kids are fine. Please help us find a loving home for Kirby.
12/7/11 ADOPTED! 11/21/11 LOCATED IN CHARLESTON, SC. Jasmine is an approx 3 yr old, spayed female who was an owner turn in to the shelter by owner for unknown reasons. She is a little timid, but very, very sweet. She walks well on a leash, loves her nice soft doggy bed, comes when you call her, knows sit and down. She is heartworm positive but is currently being treated. Jasmine seems to like water and with some encouragement would likely start swimming. We believe she may have been abused because she is shy with people she doesnt know. Once she knows you, she is your friend, putting her head on your lap and enjoying any attention offered. She gets along with other dogs and has no apparent behavior problems. No cats. She will make a wonderful companion for a lucky family.
Here is a video of her strolling around our farm.

9/7/11 LOCATED IN MT
PLEASANT, SC We rescued Casey (originally named Bubba) in
November 2001. He is 10 yrs old and a very sweet loving dog. He
is small for his breed, weighing 54lbs. He has been well cared for and
extremely loved. He LOVES to eat and looks forward to every meal. He
currently sleeps on “his” couch. He is potty trained and has never
gone pee or poop in the house the entire time we have had him. He is a
great companion, but as he is getting older he is slowing down a
little. He has started to suffer from arthritis which could be managed
with medication if possible. I spoke to our vet and he feels like
Casey could benefit greatly from a daily medication to treat his
arthritis. Other than that he is in great health and up to date on all
immunizations. The reason we are looking for a new home for Casey if
because we are moving to Seattle, WA where our job will be providing
housing that does not allow pets. Our hearts break that he cannot come
with us, but know he will be a loving new member of someone’s family.

10/20/11 ADOPTED! 9/13/11 LOCATED IN
CHARLESTON, SC "Tucker"
is a 3 year old neutered male. Tucker
is overweight and does not like to be alone. He will do best in a
home with another dog for companionship. He is heartworm
positive but is currently being treated. He is very
friendly and likes people, kids and other dogs. He does not meet a stranger
and has a great temperament. He gets along great with my other
Weimaraners (both females and males) but will chase cats. He is not
aggressive and just wants to be part of the family. He likes to stay
close to you or in the same room with you. He is doing well inside
with the exception of "counter surfing" and will even sleep on the bed
all night with me and the other Weims. He is house trained. He walks well on a leash and
only pulls when he gets excited but he responds to "no" quickly and
stops pulling. Tucker will make a great family dog as long
as there is another dog to keep him company.
Adoption fee: $250
Here is a short video of Tucker playing out at our pond with an intact male and a 3 month old puppy.

9/2/11 ADOPTED! 8/17/11
LOCATED IN ANDERSON, SC Buster
is a soon to be neutered Blue boy, about 3 yrs old,
heartworm negative, up to date on vaccines. He is great with people
and other dogs, but not good with small animals including cats.
He used to run around on a farm with 40 acres but very little human
affection. He is great in our house, he is crate trained and hasn't
had an accident in the house. He goes to the door when he wants
to go outside. He should really be an inside dog. He is much more
anxious being outside and really craves the human connection. Buster
is a great dog, I'm not sure hw he is with kids because we don't have
any, but he is extremely high energy outside, but absolutely calm and
loving inside, he wants to have his head in your lap all the time. He
has been washed, had his heartworm medication and has flea and tick
medication put on.

housebroken, sweet temperament.
9/1/11 ADOPTED! 3/7/11 LOCATED IN CHARLESTON, SC. "Henry" is a beautiful old boy who was found trotting down a country road. He was emaciated and covered with fleas & ticks. He was taken to a shelter where they cleaned him up and vetted him. He is heartworm negative, neutered and up to date on vaccines. He is easy going and gets along well with other dogs. We believe Henry is about 10 yrs old. How sad that someone would dump him at this age. Please help us find sweet Henry a loving home where he can live out the remainder of his life in comfort.

8/15/11 ADOPTED! 8/12/11 LOCATED IN CHARLESTON,
SC I am sad to say that my husband and I are looking to adopt out our
precious blue weim, Lola. We have recently been blessed with our
second little boy in less than two years. Needless to say we are too
busy to give Lola all of the attention that we feel she deserves.
Also, we will be relocating in the next few weeks to an apartment and
feel that now is the time to find a better home for Lola. She is such
an amazing dog and we just think another family somewhere is missing
out on such a loving dog. She is house and crate trained, great on a
leash, wonderful with children, other dogs, and cats. She is 4 yrs
old, spayed,
up to date on vaccines, knows the basic sit and stay commands. She
thinks she is a lap dog. Her favorite place to be is right next to
you! She enjoys playing outside but ultimately is an indoor dog. She
either sleeps on the couch or in the bed with us. Her crate will make
the move with her.

8/1/11 ADOPTED! 7/9/11 LOCATED IN
SUMMERVILLE, SC Boone is
an almost 7 yr. old (Oct. 31) male Weim, up to date on all shots
including a 3-yr rabies, and is microchipped. Boone is probably one of
the sweetest Weims you'll ever meet. He's loving and loyal, and would
love to cuddle with you on the sofa if you let him. His present family
consists of a female Weim, a Min Pin and a cat, all of whom he gets
along with very well, although I'd introduce him to new cats
carefully. He's also good with my 8 yr. old granddaughter. He knows
obedience commands and has had some agility training. With a little
more training he'd be a fun agility dog. He's a big dog, about 75 lbs,
and would benefit from an active family who can walk, jog or run with
him daily and spend time with him. Boone is a house dog who likes to
be with his family although he can be left alone for long stretches
and is not destructive. He's a good watchdog and you'll never have to
worry about anyone coming to your door unannounced. I really can't say
enough good things about this beautiful boy. I have some health
problems and I will have to give him up. It is heartbreaking to
have to give him up, so I must find the best "forever" home for him.
Please help me find a good, loving home for Boone.

dog, only around 59 lbs right now. I am going put a few pounds on
him during his foster stay with me. He loves to ride in the
car. He loves to walk on the leash, but is not fully trained on how
to do it properly. So we will be working on leash training. He
is housebroken, sits on command, and is learning his name. He has
exhibited no destructive chewing, escaping, counter surfing, or
digging. His goal in life seems to please and be loved on by a human

ADOPTED! 6/26/11 LOCATED IN
PROSPERITY, SC Dakota is a 2 year old very happy and
sociable male. He has been neutered, updated on all of his vaccines
and is heartworm negative. Dakota loves being around people esp. kids.
He also enjoys being around other dogs no matter how large or small.
Dakota is house trained, crate trained and a graduate of Pet Smart Pet
Training Program. Dakota loves to play ball and going on walks in the
woods or where ever. He is completely leashed trained.
Unfortunately for me Dakota doesn’t like to hike in the mountains or
sleep in a tent. He doesn’t like to go canoeing or play in the lake or
any water. So, he is not comfortable with my hobby.
My work hours are not the best in the world
either. (I’m on call a lot.) So as a result he has to be shut up in
his crate a lot and that is not fair to him and he deserves better.
Dakota is the perfect house dog. He is a very well mannered, much
behaved happy boy who deserves a great home.

quite enthusiastically for a good treat! Her mom even did some pet
therapy in retirement homes with her for a time, and she passed all the
tests with flying colors. She is a wonderful companion for adults and
older children, and she would be happiest in a home as an only dog or
with other mellow dogs who aren't running circles around her. No cats. She is uncomfortable with small children and infants.

5//6/11 ADOPTED! 4/9/11 LOCATED IN MYRTLE BEACH,
SC. Chase was born
on November 16th 2009, his owner surrendered him to our Rescue due to
being unable to properly care for Chase. This wonderful boy is
heart-worm negative and takes a monthly heartworm preventative along
with his monthly flea preventative, he will be neutered soon.
Chase is calm, loving, has an excellent temperament, gets along with
cats, other dogs, men, women, children, he is an easy-going,
"happy-go-lucky," young boy. Chase, along with our male cat and female
German Shepherd, sleep in the bed with us, he is a "considerate" sleeper
and can make himself "fit" into the most unlikely small spots. Chase
enjoys a morning and night time walk, he also loves to have his very
cute tummy rubbed and many times falls asleep on his back with his legs
sticking up in the air, he certainly does make us laugh a lot.
Chase is house-trained using the doggie-door, he has never went potty in
the house. Chase walks well on a leash and is also good at "walking off
leash" in the field behind my house, he listens well and is eager to do
what we ask him to. Chase has learned the command "sit," he will "sit"
and wait for his food bowl, he learned this in five minutes!
Chase enjoys chewing on nice, clean sticks, he has not chewed on any of
our furniture. Chase is not accustomed to riding in a car and we have to
pick him up and put him in the car, he can jump-out on his own though.
As his Foster Mother I would like to say that Chase is an absolute
pleasure to be with, he is the best buddy to me and my kids and my other
pets.

was picked up as a stray and was skin and bones. She is now in good health.
Gemma has a small head injury and she
is hard of hearing but not totally deaf. Her small skull deformity we believe has
something to do with her hearing issue. This sweet, happy little girl tries to figure out what you want
her to do. She tries so hard to please despite her disability.
Gemma is up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative. She
is very affectionate, loves attention and loves to RUN and play. She gets along well
with other dogs. She is housebroken. This little girl will
make someone a wonderful pet. She is very smart and can open
doors. She is so
intelligent and is food oriented. She is fine with children
too.
Come to meet Gemma! She will steal your heart away!!

4/10/11 ADOPTED! 11/30/10 LOCATED IN
COLUMBIA, SC "Kai" short for Kaizer is an extremely loving male
Weimaraner approximately 2-3 years old. He thinks humans are the best
thing in the whole world, even better than cookies! He will snuggle
against you and stretch his neck as far as possible as long as you will
rub it. He will lie on his back forever and ever as long as you will rub
it. He does not jump up on people and runs around the yard happy and
silly. Kai was an owner turn-in and according to the previous owners, he
was raised with two Chihuahuas. He gets along well with other dogs but
would do best as an "only dog" since he really prefers not to share his
human's attention with other canines. He is housebroken, neutered, up to
date on vaccines and heartworm negative.

ADOPTED! 2/7/11 LOCATED IN
SUMMERVILLE, SC. "Ipo Angel" is a beautiful
silver girl; We must move to a smaller home and cannot keep her.
She is 2 1/2 years old, spayed, and was born in August of 2008 in Spartanburg, SC. Her parents are both registered Weimaraners and we have pictures of them if you are interested. She has been under the veterinarian care of Banfield in Summerville, SC and is current on all her vaccines. She takes a heartworm pill and tick/flea medicine once a month without any issues. Ipo is wonderful with our children and very energetic. She is very protective of our family and leary ofstrangers in our presence, but is friendly to others, especially when we are not around. She likes other people and dogs after some introductory time.
When we go on vacation, a pet nanny takes her into her home where she has young children, 3 dogs and a cat and the nanny always raves about good Ipo is when she is there. Ipo does not like to be alone and is constantly in the same room we are in the house. She is not happy when we leave but we give her a bone to chew on for awhile and it helps to release some of the anxiety.
Ipo has taken obedience training and knows the commands: "Place." "Sit." "Stay." She is a little mouthy when playful, but not aggressively. She does let us know she needs attention by nudging us in the rear end with her nose. She does bark at strangers. She does jump on occasion to greet people. She is fairly well leashed trained. She loves to fetch but will not bring it all the way back; she loves to tug-o-war. She loves to be outside only when we are outside or another dog is over for playtime. She will not stay outside by herself unless she has to go to the bathroom. She is perfectly house trained.
Please feel free to call or email us if you have any questions. We would love for you to come over to meet Ipo.
3/3/11 ADOPTED!! 12/21/10 LOCATED IN CHARLESTON, SC "Tucker" is a 3 year old neutered male. He was picked up from the shelter as an owner surrender. His owner was moving and could not take Tucker. Tucker is about 65 pounds and in very good shape except for being Heart Worm positive. Tucker is currently being treated. He is very friendly and likes people and other dogs. He does not meet a stranger and has a great temperament. He gets along great with my other Weimaraners (both females and males). He is not aggressive and just wants to be part of the family. He likes to stay close to you or in the same room with you. He is doing well inside with the exception of "counter surfing" and will even sleep on the bed all night with me and the other Weims. He is house trained. He does walk well on a leash and only pulls when he gets excited but he responds to "no" quickly and stops pulling. He can not be around cats.
Here is a video of Tucker playing with my dogs out by our pond.

2/21/11 ADOPTED!! 1/30/11 LOCATED IN
MYRTLE BEACH. Daisy is 2 yrs old, spayed and an absolute joy to be around, she is
full of life and very eager to please her human. Daisy has gotten along
very well with our house cat as well as our 8 year old female German
Shepherd dog. Daisy is very good with our 10 year old son and enjoys
playing "catch" in the back-yard, she does bring the ball back, after a
while! Daisy has been using the doggie door to go outside and go potty,
she enjoys going outside and sitting in the sun for a while, then
usually she goes back to her place on the couch to take a nap. Daisy
will benefit from the proper obedience training, she is highly
intelligent and a very fast learner.
Daisy lived the first two years of her life in an outdoor kennel, in
spite of this, she demonstrates excellent house manners and is a
wonderful fur-daughter, she truly is "sugar & spice & everything nice."
She is heartworm positive but is being treated.
Daisy must have a very secure fenced in yard, she will escape If there

1/12/11 ADOPTED! 12/10/10 LOCATED IN COLUMBIA, SC.
Trooper is a approx 10 months old, neutered male. I picked up
Trooper from a family that could not keep him. He had been neglected
more so than abused. He is now almost back to a healthy weight, but I
still have him on puppy chow and a can of mackerel a day. He is less
than a year old and has no real bad habits other than being excitable
and jumping up when he is happy to see you. He has not chewed up
anything!!! He gets along very well with my Weim and my small auxiliary
dog (17 lbs). He was neutered on Dec. 2, and is heartworm negative. He
is a real sweetheart. He is very eager to please, and comes except when
he is scared something is going to happen to him, based on his past life
I suppose. He is already overcoming that with the proper assurances that
he is, in fact, a good boy. Enclosed are some pics. He is available for
immediate adoption.
1/9/11 ADOPTED!! 9/16/10 LOCATED IN CHARLESTON, SC. Riley is an approx 2 yr old neutered, male up to date on vaccines, who was sent to our Rescue Program because his military family was moving to Fairbanks, Alaska and dogs are not allowed. He is a happy, friendly, sort of goofy boy. Here is his Foster home assessment:
Riley is a two year old male.
His military family surrendered him because they were moving again, and
this time he could not go. He has been neutered and had all of his
shots. Riley is completely house-trained and will tell you when he need to go out. He
is so eager to please and is a good listener. He loves to play fetch and
chase or anything outside. The good
thing is that he does not run off, he just goes to the front yard
looking for someone to play with. He is leash trained and ready for his
new home! He needs a family that is
active, because he loves to go anywhere.....anytime. All you have to do
is jingle the keys and he is at your feet. Riley loves other dogs, but
he will chase cats. Riley is a big teddy bear and has a lot of love to offer!
Here is Riley in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DE9OM2S9z58&feature=youtube_gdata

OUR APPRECIATION TO THE 54 FAMILIES WHO
ADOPTED THE FOLLOWING DOGS IN 2010
12/21/10 ADOPTED! 12/16/10 LOCATED IN
LANDRUM, SC Kai is a 4 1/2 old male puppy who was
abandoned, found and taken to a local vet who turned him over to our
rescue program. He is currently learning good manners in the
house. He is crate trained and almost totally house broken as long as he
is supervised. He can sit and lay down on command and likes to go
through the agility tunnel. He is a very cute puppy with boundless
energy but because of having H.O.D. ( HOD is a puppy illness that makes
him run a high fever and his joints swell) he is not allowed to run and
play like a normal Weim puppy for a few weeks so he needs to be mentally
stimulated and challenged. His attention span is short but he shows
great promise with his obedience training. He needs a family who
will work with him on his training. He enjoys being around other
dogs and learning from them as well. He is good in the car in his crate.
He absolutely loves all people. He will need a Weim savvy owner because
he is a very smart little guy. He has had his puppy shots and is
heartworm negative. He is not yet neutered. He will need a rabies
vaccine too.
11/18/1O LOCATED IN GREENVILLE, SC Claire is a spayed 3 year old girl. She was picked up in Anderson county as a stray and is thin but is beginning to get her weight back. She came to us very shy, of course, but is quickly becoming comfortable w/ her surroundings. She loves to run and play w/ our other girls and is a definite "people" dog. She wants to be right beside you and keep track of what is going on. She will sit right beside you and cuddle up trying to get as close as possible and of course the head eventually ends up in your lap. Claire knows a few commands, sits for her meals & only eats what she wants...unlike some who eat everything including the bowl! She will also "stay" to allow enough time to let you out the door first and doesn't want to be left alone, but that is improving each day. She has a very sweet spirit, not hyper at all.

12/14/10 ADOPTED! 11/18/10 LOCATED IN
ANDERSON, SC "SKYLER" He is a young, 8 month old,
neutered male, heartworm negative, turned in due to financial
difficulty. He is an amazing dog, absolutely beautiful with a
joyful disposition. He is completely housetrained and has wonderful
house manners. He is great with our other dogs. He has not bothered
anything in our house and is calm inside with you. At night, he has
free reign of the house, but sleeps beside our bed on a dog bed the
whole night. He of course is ready to go out once morning comes, but
does not really like being outdoors for very long periods of time. He
especially doesn't like the cold. I feel he was an inside dog and would
be happier in a home where he could be indoors more time than not. He
hasn't fully grown into his face and legs yet and can be a little
awkward when running and playing, but he is only 8 months, so he is
right where he should be. We don't have children, but he can be a little
excited when first seeing you and jumps up a lot when we come in, we are
working on breaking that behavior. All in all, he is going to make
someone very happy! We would keep him in a heartbeat

11/26/10 LOCATED IN
CHARLESTON, SC "Gunner" is a 3 yr old, blue, neutered male.
He is blind (detached retinas). We dont know how or why he is
blind but that is why his owner turned him into the shelter.
Gunner gets along well in spite of his blindness. He learns the
lay of the land or house and moves around easily. He is a very
sweet and affectionate boy and loves to be lying next to someone who
will pet him. He is very tolerant of other dogs. Gunner
would make an excellent house dog since he is a "home body" and does not
roam. He seems appreciative of his home. Please help us find
Gunner a wonderful forever home. You can see by this video that
Gunner does very well:

11/21/10 LOCATED IN
COLUMBIA, SC Kobalt is a 4 yr old, neutered blue male.
He is in good health, heartworm negative.
This is a really nice boy!
He is very affectionate, gets along great with
other dogs, and is eager to please. He understands basic commands and is
not food aggressive. A little bit
submissive, but only enough that he is very good with both my Weim and
my small dog. Kobalt is not an escape artist. He
is content to hang out in the yard or the house without trying to find a
way out of the fence. He initiates play
with other dogs and loves to play ball.
Kobalt actually taught my dog to play ball with another dog, something
he never did before. He has not been
tested with cats. This is a smart, loving dog and will be among
the best dogs whoever adopts him ever had.

11/8/10 ADOPTED!! 9/23/10 LOCATED IN
LANDRUM, SC . Winston is an 8 year old neutered male who doesn’t look or
act his age. He was a family pet indoors until the age of 3 at which
time he was basically “discarded” to another family members dog run for
5 years. He was fed well and taken care of in the physical means but
lacked much human contact and socialization that Weims thrive on. Family
illness forced the family member that was keeping Winston to pressure
the owner to get rid of him. That was his lucky break!
Winston is currently in a foster home. He loves to walk and just hang
out with his foster family. He enjoys sun naps in the grassy back yard.
He is loving and sweet but desperately needs someone to give him more
attention. He is good with kids too. He really needs to and wants to
bond with one person. He is a healthy, big and beautiful dog. His nose
is pink from lack of vitamins but has been clearing up with some
additives to his feed. Please consider giving Winston his second lease
on life and making him a part of your family.

9/17/10 ADOPTED! 8/29/10 LOCATED
IN GREENWOOD, SC. Brooke, was taken from a cruelty
case in GA which also involved Greyhounds. She weighs 62
lbs, is about two years old, petite, very sweet, affectionate and
appears to be totally house-trained. She was kennel-trained on arrival.
But, she also should have obedience training. She likes to “nibble”
gently at your arms when she is shown affection, and is a kisser too.
She likes to show her affection by licking you every chance that she can
get. Poor girl is grateful to be out of that horrible place where she
was rescued. Brooke does stand up on the cabinets and
counter-surfs. I am working on that. She had a complete dental, and her
teeth are very white and in great shape. She is spayed, HW+ (being
treated), and current on all of shots. She will make a wonderful
dog for a family.
Please find Brooke a loving home

SC. Adorable Oscar is an 8-9
month old neutered male who was turned into the Spartanburg Animal
Shelter due to owner's financial problems. He is beautiful,
friendly, playful. He has apparently been somewhat mistreated
because we noticed he is fearful of hands and open doors. So, we
are petting him a lot and telling him we love him. He is being
leash trained. He has all his vaccinations, is heartworm negative
and ready for the right loving home. He needs obedience training,
but otherwise, should be a wonderful family pet for kids and other dogs.
Cats unknown.

SUMMERVILLE, SC (NEAR CHARLESTON) Duke is a 5 1/2 year old
Weimaraner who is up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, and
neutered. He loves human contact and is a great family dog.
He prefers to be indoors and is fully house trained. He can sit, stay
and shake. He is very loyal and can be very protective. He is eager to
please and has a lot of energy. My infant daughter has horrible
allergies and, sadly we must find him a new home. He is usually VERY
good with other dogs... he loves the company! He is a little territorial
with some male dogs. He is not aggressive but his protective bark will
keep the burglars away! We are the only home he has known and want
desperately for someone to love him like we have. I think he will be
happiest in a home with other dogs. My sister has a miniature schnauzer
and they are best friends, so big or small dogs would be ok. We are
military and recently re-located to Summerville, SC.
Please help us find Duke a good loving home.

7/20/10
LOCATED IN CHARLESTON, SC "Daisy" is 6 years young. As a true Weimaraner, she loves to run, walk and roll in the grass in the field.
Daisy gets along with children and other dogs. I would be cautious about
cats and other small animals with all large dogs - nature just makes them
want to bowl over the small "guy". She likes her 'igloo' in the yard and
would quickly become accustomed to "her house" with her people. She has
not
been mistreated.
Here is a video of Daisy on a HOT summer day.

8/30/10 ADOPTED!! 8/29/10 LOCATED IN
GREENWOOD, SC. Hogan was taken from a
cruelty case in GA which also involved Greyhounds. Hogan is 4
years old, has AKC registration papers, was abused and is malnourished.
With good food and a loving environment, he is slowly gaining a little
weight. He came with an aggressive attitude, but is now much more gentle
and affectionate. However, it is still the vet’s recommendation that he
should be placed in a home with adults - no children ,no elderly.
He is not aggressive towards other dogs. He accepts a muzzle very
easily, and he has learned to go into his kennel without a fuss. He and
Brooke, if allowed, will eat and drink from the same bowl even though
they each have their own. Hogan does still like to “nibble” at your arm
when he is being shown affection…but does it gently. He is getting a lot
more trusting of humans, and now rolls over on his back to have his
belly rubbed. He appears to have had little or no training. He is
beginning to show signs of becoming house-trained. We would recommend
obedience training for him, and an understanding but alpha owner.
He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, HW + (being treated), complete
dental cleaning done too.

8/24/10 ADOPTED! 8/24/10 LOCATED IN COLUMBIA, SC
Zeb is 3 yrs old. He comes from a very loving
family who is forced to find him a new home because we are moving to
Fairbanks AK which is too cold for a Weim ( - 60 degrees!). This is the
sweetest little boy you'll find. He loves everyone, including kids and
other dogs. Larger dogs would probably be best if there are other pets
in the home. He has a lot of puppy left in him and can play a little too
rough for small animals (he doesn't realize how much he weighs).
Zeb's favorite things to do are to be part of the family, play, eat, and
lounge around on the furniture. He also needs a place where he can
safely stretch his legs out and run as fast as he can. A fenced yard
would be best because if he sees a squirrel across the street...that
will be his only focus.
Zeb has alway been kept current on all vaccinations and veterinary
visits. He is crate trained and never has accidents in the house. He
loves to cuddle and is going to make a excellent companion and addition
to someone's family. Whoever gets this guy is lucky!

8/20/10 ADOPTED! 8/7/10 LOCATED IN COLUMBIA, SC
Zoey is a 15 month old, spayed female, heartworm negative, up to date on
vaccines. She was given up by her owners who said they had a baby
and had no time for her. She was then likely relegated to the
backyard and only seen by the family for food and water.
Initial impression: Zoey just wants to have fun and be loved. Not a mean bone in her. She is somewhat of a swimmer. She has had very little obedience training. She will sit for her food and a treat, but does not come and has had several accidents in the house. I wonder if she spent most of her life in a crate or locked in the back yard.
Zoey will be receiving training for house breaking, basic manners and leash, etc. She will be a fabulous pet for a lucky family!

CHARLESTON, SC "Lucy" is 8-10 yrs old, and was taken to the
shelter for unknown reasons; we believe her owner was ill and could not
keep her. She is up to date on vaccines.
She is a wonderful house dog, quiet, very obedient. Her foster family, sent
their observations: Malnourished, but recovering nicely (in a matter of days,
with three meals a day). Very tolerant of males sniffing her out or urging her
to play. Sweet; totally non-aggressive, but interested in her surroundings,
particularly other dogs and humans. Haven’t heard her bark yet. Runs towards
people on the beach, sniffs them, then comes back (as if searching for her
former owner). Pulls on the leash when walking, but runs nicely on a loose
leash. Loves to chase tennis balls. Sleeps through the night. After the morning
walk very little activity. Becomes active around 4 p.m. (Just right for someone
working during the day.) Lucy has been trained and knows obedience
commands. She will make a wonderful quiet family
member with or without other dogs (no cats). She deserves a loving forever
home. Please help us find a home for sweet Lucy.
Here is a video of Lucy on a HOT summer day. She is an excellent swimmer and retriever!!

people. He is housetrained and has very good house manners. He is also very calm
and listens well. He is not a barker, and does fine in a crate even though he
doesn't need one. Help us find a great home for sweet
little Will!

LOCATED IN CHARLESTON, SC "Bo" is about 3 years
young. He also likes people and would like to become somebody's best
friend. He is active too. I think that Bo would like the water or a pond
to jump into. He "sounds the alert" if someone drives up to the house so
that "company" can be sure of a Welcome. He is learning to walk on a leash
(after he gets rid of the extra energy)! His beautiful face is like a
billboard of LOVE.

nothing better than to follow you around and sit at your feet
waiting for a pet, hug or neck rub. She came to us 3 weeks ago from
a puppy mill and right from the get go it was evident she was starved for
affection...and hasnt stopped. She is always there w/ her joyful attitude. She
has done well getting used to us "humans" and loves to play w/ other dogs too.
She is spayed and has no medical issues...loves to sit beside anyone who is
willing to give her a little pet or hug....and also does a great job
relaxing inside! (see pic) She would do well as an only dog or as a playmate.

LOCATED IN COLUMBIA, SC MAY is
about 1 yr old, is fairly small, very cute and friendly. She is currently being leash
trained and socialized. May is spayed and up to date on her
vaccines. She will make a wonderful family dog. She
loves everyone and loves to play with other dogs.
Update: May has advanced to a dog that
seeks out love and attention. May loves toys and thinks that she is on top of
the world when she carries them around. She still needs to learn to walk better
on a leash as it frightens her but this is easily remedied with time. She has
absolutely no inclination toward aggression of any kind and loves all dogs.
May has never been an only-dog and would prosper best in a home with a male dog.

LOCATED IN CASHIERS, NC -- Ben (aka as Gentle Ben) was found by
Oconee County Animal Control so emaciated and injured that he couldn't stand on
his own --he had to be carried back to the truck. Abandoned and neglected by his
original owner, Ben was in pain from a badly broken front left leg and
dislocated shoulder. After amputation of this leg on 3/24/10, Ben is now walking
slowly, taking steps two at a time, and gaining better balance. The vet
predicts he will recover well and lead a good life on three legs.
Ben is a 2-3
year old neutered male who is heartworm positive. He gets on well with
other dogs, cats, and loves people. Give him a pat or hug and he wags his tail
enthusiastically. Ben crates and travels well by car, and is very well behaved
indoors. This sweet young boy certainly longs for a forever home.
Ben has gained
weight and really enjoying life on his 3 good legs.
6/21/10 update: Gentle Ben has become Happy Ben now as he has
recuperated from his amputation, been fed very well and put on some weight, and
learned to trust and love people -- of all ages. He now gives one-legged hugs
and kisses, sits and comes on command, loves walking on a leash, accepts and
loves treats, plays with toys, and plays well with other dogs. This has all been
a new experience to him, and he loves the attention, being part of family and
part of a small pack.
Ben will be extremely loyal to whomever becomes his owner, and would love to
either sleep in your bed or very close to it. He also loves to ride in the car
and would make a great traveling companion for short or long trips, or just
rides to the supermarket.
Ben is now a very happy and exuberant Weim and just longs for a family with
older kids, a couple, or a special single. He loves to run and play and hike --
at his one-legged, galloping pace -- and has developed some great muscle tone
and balance for support.

6/14/10
LOCATED IN LEXINGTON, SC. Lucy just turned 2 years old and is a big
girl @ 98.5#s. She's overweight (thanks to all of Mama's good cooking) and could
use a home where someone will take her on her walks or be active with her. She
is completely house trained and crate trained. She's not had an accident since
she was about 3-4 months old. Lucy has also been spayed.
She is AKC registered, microchipped & is current on all her
vaccinations/rabies/worming, etc. I typically have her anal glands
expressed every 3 months, or when her gas gets unbearable. I have all of her
medical records and can get the ones from Cherokee Trail if needed.
Lucy does not have a mean bone in her body!! She is the sweetest dog, just a
little clumsy with her big feet and weight. She loves to be outside, but has
never slept outdoors (she is an inside dog). She loves to cuddle and give
kisses. She still likes to grab your hands with her mouth to "lead" you or
say hello. She does not bite and is not aggressive towards people or other dogs.
I raised her with a bunny, but since she's been with mom (8 months) she's been
around 2 other dogs.
Lucy is a hunting dog--she has webbed toes for swimming and loves water!!! She
is the EASIEST dog to bath as long as it's in a shower (she's way too heavy to
try and pick up). I've not seen her get in water above her head though--she's
more of a flopper. I have spoiled her rotten...she likes to be blown dry with
the hair dryer and will come running if she hears you turn it on!! Sometimes
I'll brush her and put her makeup on her (she has no idea there's nothing there,
she just loves being pampered!).
Her favorite thing to do is ride in the car!!! She loves the front seat and if
you say "Go" in front of her, she's out the door waiting on you!!! She is super
smart and has a great nose.
This is the hardest thing I've ever had to do. I LOVE this dog, but have
committed to a 4 year research fellowship in England and cannot take her with
me. My husband is in Iraq and is going into the Air National Guard when he
returns in October. Mom has been gracious enough to keep her since October, but
she has 2 full grown 80+ pound dogs of her own, and a third is just too much for
her to handle

GREENVILLE, SC :
HANNAH -
YOUNG MOM & her 2 FOUR WEEK OLD PUPS (mixed) Here is Hannah's
story:
Hannah is a 2 yr old fem found
as a stray in Anderson county along w/ her 5 puppies. They were in
horrible shape (3 of the pups died). Hannah is
an extremely sweet gentle
girl and just wants to follow the family around. She thinks of herself as a lap
dog and loves to cuddle. She was hesitant and shy when we first brought
her home (understandably so..) but has adapted well in the week she has been w/
us. She greets us at the door w/ her tail and butt wagging.
A dedicated mom and very intelligent! We put her and "the kids" in the
yard one warm sunny morning and everyone scurried off to school and
work. I work the midnite shift so my appropriated spot was my bed. A couple
hours later I heard a little whimper and opened the front door
and found Hannah w/ the pups camped out on the front porch...she wanted to be
inside and close but also wanted her pups nearby.
She had to walk across a half acre w/ each puppy and open an unlatched gate each
time!! She would be very unhappy if left alone all the
time - she definitely needs her people time. She would make an
excellent family dog.
Hannah will be spayed soon and afterwards may be adopted.

TRYON, NC:
" Winston" is a very small, sweet
young male between 1 and 2 years old who was found as a stray in the upstate of
SC. He is currently receiving lots of loving care on a beautiful farm in the
upstate where he romps and plays with 3 other dogs. He likes dogs but really
LOVES people. Winston is only happy when he is sitting on your feet or leaning
on you. He shows his affection by “talking” and will give little kisses as well.
He does not like to be separated from the other dogs or people so if you want to
get Winston and keep far away from the house, he is not your dog! He is learning
manners inside and finding that he enjoys sleeping on a big fluffy bed. This dog
does not have a mean bone in his body and will make a wonderful pet for a
family. He needs some TLC to help nurse him back to health but he is willing to
give you his heart.
Winston has a cute little cowlick down his neck as well as a longer tail than
usual. He is lightly heart worm positive but on ivermectin which should clear
them up in about 15 months.

Katie, a male Weimaraner and one of Katie's puppies. A sister and friend
from the tenants came and got the male and the puppy. Katie was supposed to go

Lab. They got along great and she got attached to us very quick.
My husband is military and has orders to go to Germany. Our Lab is going to stay
with friends that had him before us, but they do not want Katie.
Katie is good with kids and other dogs. She loves to run and catch balls. She
hates to be alone. She likes to be with her family all the time or at least with
a dog friend.
This dog would do best
in a home with another dog

3/11/10 ADOPTED! 2/25/10 LOCATED IN COLUMBIA, SC AREA. Jack
is a wonderful easy going male. He is calm and gets
along with all dogs large and small. He is housebroken and paws at the door to
go out if he needs to go before you get around to it. This
male has obviously been a well cared for house pet
for most of his life. His love for opening fence latches
probably put him in harms way and he ended up in the shelter
so starved that he is mostly skin and bones. He is
on his way to gaining weight and likes nothing better than to lay in the sun
on the rug in front of the window
after a good meal. He needs a home that can make sure he is secured inside the
house and fenced yard so he can’t ever escape again
and end up in such a fix. He is not at all
destructive. He would make someone a wonderful first
Weimaraner due to his lovely calm temperament. He
never jumps up on people. Jack is ~ 7-8 years old and with good care
is just middle aged.
He has a slight limp when he runs fast due to a problem with
his front left elbow. Jack has no behavioral
problems. He simply needs a good human to love. This is an
incredibly sweet boy!

wants to play non-stop. She is not a lap dog. She wants to be nearby to family
at all times, but does not like to be held. She needs constant supervision
because she gets bored easily and gets into mischief.

was found by a disabled lady and has lived in her back yard for about 3
months without shelter and with two unfriendly, aggressive dogs . He is a
Blue Weim pup about 7 months old. He was given to our rescue program
because the lady could not care for him over the winter. He now has had some
leash & obedience training, housebreaking, etc
by his former foster Mom, Mary Simpson . This poor little guy needs some
TLC!
Raven needs a home with underground fencing as he is a fence jumper. He doesnt go anywhere, just bops around and comes back when you call him. However, he is used to being in a yard with underground along with the regular fencing. As long as he has the collar on he doesnt try to jump the fence. Raven had a skin condition which has been treated and he is much improved.
Raven has been neutered and is ready for his new family! He is friendly, happy, sweet little fellow. He will make a great family dog.

children and is very good with them. He also loves to be with other dogs. He
needs a family that will be with him a lot. Weims do not like to be left alone.
He needs people and other dogs to keep him company. He is a pleaser and has been
easy to train. He is very sweet and gentle with people and other dogs. There is
not a mean bone in his body. Russell is a Beta dog. He was given to me by a
pregnant woman who just wanted to get rid of him immediately. He was “running
away” a lot and she could not handle it. Since he has been getting regular
exercise with me there has been no problem with him leaving my yard alone. I
have 5 other Weims which is the only reason I am not keeping him.
Russell will make a wonderful companion
for someone. He is free to a good home. References will be checked.

BETTY We have a very sweet, very shy little girl named Betty, who is spayed,
about 3 yrs old, a "bred and thrown away girl." She was dumped on the side of
the road after a litter of pups. This was an abusive situation and so she
needs a family who can understand her low confidence level. She would do
best in a home with a male companion. We are looking for a home with
another male dog. This is Betty's last chance. She will make a
great house or apartment dog as she is small and quiet. Please find a
loving home for her.
Cats are OK. Betty is improving. She knows some obedience commands
and is not as afraid of people. Please
consider adopting Betty!

CHARLESTON, SC. Edith is a sweet, well-mannered, low-maintenence
dog. She loves to take walks & swim. She is very food motivated so teaching her
basic commands is a breeze. She is not "mouthy" so retrieving & toys don't seem
to interest her. She is crate-trained & an excellent house dog. She has never
had an accident, eats all her food, gets along with my other dogs & three cats.
She doesn't like other animals near her food but neither do my dogs. She is not
aggressive toward humans. She has a strong warning bark but it not excessively
vocal. She is a natural swimmer and loves the water.
She is still under treatment for folliculitis & her coat is coming in & getting
thicker. She has an eye infection which is clearing up with
treatment. I'm still working on getting her nails trimmed down & we've made a
lot of progress.
She is an "easy keeper" & an absolute delight to have in my household. She would
make a wonderful pet for those who enjoy walking but don't
want a high energy dog. She's also a good "bed dog", curling up & sleeping
through the night.

COLUMBIA, SC
Mila is a very sweet petite
pretty
girl, around one year
to two years
of age,
who loves to sit right next to her
human whenever possible. She is wonderful with medium to large dogs and
tolerates all the face nudging
and body slamming
that my
16 month old
girl throws at her.
She is a good negotiator with other
dogs to try to get what she wants
and will persist until she gets it or
until
there seems to be no hope, like who
gets to sit closest to the human.
She does not appreciate small dogs or cats however as she has a strong prey
drive and sees them as small furry things to be chased and caught in her mouth.
She is quite athletic and easily motivated and I believe would make a good
agility competitor as she is fast on her feet.
She loves a good Nylabone and will spend an hour focused on a good chew toy.
Her previous foster home tested her with children and she did well. No
cats.

We have them in foster homes and we are working to socialize them. They were turned in to the shelter in terrible condition - bad coats, extremely underweight (racks of bones), dehydrated and had to have fluids. They are now on excellent food and gaining weight. Since they are young, it should not take long. They were terrified of humans. We hold them and pet them, trying to build their confidence in humans. They play well with other dogs. They are named Bella, Clyde - and Scout is the largest of the 3 pups and is probably about 6 months older. All 3 pups are doing great!

LOCATED IN CHARLESTON, SC.
"Polly" is a 7 month old, spayed, female puppy who was obtained by a family from
a bad breeder. She has an undocked tail and front dewclaws.
The family reported that she was left to run with another dog in a junk yard for
the first 4 months of her life and not socialized. She is afraid of
humans. They bought her because they felt so bad for her living conditions.
The
family donated Polly to our Rescue program because they did not know how to deal with her fear
issues. Polly loves other dogs but either was abused or neglected while at
the puppy mill. She needs intensive human contact which she is now
receiving. She would do fine in a family with another dog, but needs lots
of human contact to build her confidence and overcome her fear of humans.
She would do best with a stay at home Mom or Dad and another dog. Her adoption fee is $350.
3/24/09 - update: Polly is walking on a
lead well and comes into the house. She is still afraid of new situations.
However, if I sit down on the ground, she will come up to me and let me pet her
and give her a treat. I am able to get her to stand up on lead while
petting her.

3/2/09 LOCATED IN CHARLESTON,
SC "Henry" is a ~4 month old male puppy who was rescued from a puppy mill in GA by a
young couple. However, Henry had been kept in a cage without human contact
and is afraid of humans. The puppy mill owner didn't want him because he
was too old to sell so he was given to the couple. They turned him over to
our Rescue program because they did not know how to deal with his fears and
certainly didnt want him to go back to that hell hole. He needs
rehabilitation and socialization. He will hopefully become a normal little
boy puppy within a few weeks at which time he will be available for adoption.
3/3/09- Update: In 24 hrs, Henry is noticeably improving. He goes on long walks with me and lets me hold and pet him. He loves my other Weims and sleeps with my 6 month old at night. However, he must be kept on a leash because he is still very afraid of being approached by me. He is teething, appears to be 4 months old and I believe he will likely be a small adult.
3/6/09 - Henry now comes and goes without a leash. I put a drag line on him when we go out for walks, but he is now glad to see me and likes being held and petted. He can now sleep in his own room without another dog. My 6 month old loves to hold his leash when we walk around the pond.
3/11/09 Henry is spending a lot of time in the house, is crate trained and is now an official "snuggle bunny". He is still a little timid with new situations, but otherwise is pretty much a normal sweet little Weimaraner boy.
He needs a family who will spend some time loving him and building his confidence.

is a 1 yr old, neutered grey male, up to date on all vaccines and Heartworm
negative. He has been well cared for but his owner must give him up due to
no time for him because of kids and husband has been sent to Iraq.
Owner says: He has been crate trained and house broken. He is a loving dog always wanting to be near and lay with you. He goes to the door when needs to go out and the same to come in. He is pretty much an indoor dog and does very well. I believe he is past the chewing stage, although I keep him supplied with rawhides to keep busy. He has a automatic feeder and does well with it with 80lb continuous weight. I bought him for my husband on valentines day last year, but my husband is now located in IRAQ for a year or two and we are looking to sell and move to Wilmington, NC or Charleston, SC to be back with family. It has been alot for me and having two boys to keep up with to give him the attention he needs. I feel I am neglecting him for the attention and space he needs to get his energy out. I hope to find a good loving home for him and believe he will adjust very well. So if you are able to help me I will be truly grateful and happy that he is in a good home with a fenced yard.

Amos is one of the most friendly, laid back Weims I have ever seen. His tail
wags constantly. Although he is a rack of bones, he eats well and we feed him 5
small meals a day to try to put the weight back on. He just seems to be thankful
for life! He loves all other dogs and all people. He walks into every situation
with a happy attitude. He loves to run in the yard with other dogs and
carry a ball or dummy. He acts as if he would like to swim but doesnt know
how yet. By the summer, if given an opportunity, I believe he would be a
great swimmer.
Update 1/12/09: Amos has gained weight, looks & feels much better!
He is playing with other dogs and having a great time running around our farm. He will make a wonderful family pet.

LOCATED IN THE COLUMBIA, SC AREA GUNNER IS READY FOR A NEW HOME!!
Gunner is a wonderful boy who has now
recovered from a terrible situation
11/5/08 Gunner's
story: We
now have a very heartbreaking case of Gunner who was neglected by his mentally
ill owner. When the owner's mother discovered poor little Gunner's condition, he
was taken to the Charleston shelter and the owner was taken to a mental health
facility.
The Shelter called us and now he is on his way to his foster home in Cayce, SC.
He will need some TLC and time to recover and then we will offer him for adoption.
He is about 4- 5 years old,
weighs ~ 51 pounds, and is neutered. Obedience trained, knows sit, shake, kennel
up, and plays fetch. He is a very sweet boy.
11/8 - First update from his foster home:
"Gunner
is the sweetest dog I have fostered. This is the kind of dog you don't offer
to the general public, but instead tell your friend who has been waiting for a
year or two for a really special dog. He acts like a littermate with my 4 yr
old male. They spent the day competing for a ball thrown down the hill and
split returns about 70% my dog. At one point I've seen them one with the ball
and the other trying to take the ball out of the other's mouth. No hostility.
Two males knowing each other for 2 days. I know my dog is ok with fosters,
but Gunner is great."

training. We are working on stopping her from jumping up and mouthing
hands. She LOVES to play
ball! Bonnet will make a fantastic family companion ONLY if she is worked

8/19/08 LOCATED IN THE GREENVILLE, SC AREA:
Sully is a
neutered male about 18 months old. He is heart worm
negative and up to date on all of his shots. He was found
on the steps of
a church
with another male and a female Weimaraner. Animal control
was called and all three went to the Lexington Animal
Shelter. Sully was underweight and was pretty beat up. He
made a nice recovery and will make a
GREAT companion. He gets along very well with my two
females and would do best in a home with another dog. He
has become a shadow to me and to the two girls.
Like most Weimaraners, he will chase cats, so no homes with
cats.
He is a very friendly, happy boy and likely would do fine with kids.
Sully is housebroken and crate trained. Like all Weims at this age, he should not be left alone loose in the house as he will counter surf and find something to take away his boredom. However, he does fine in the house if you are there and will even sleep (all night) on your bed.

house dog. Current on all shots, and on heartworm

about 25 min north of Spartanburg)
Name: BocaAge: 11 months Weight: 89 lbs
Boca is an energetic puppy who is a quick learner. He has a very sweet personality. He is learning to ride in the car, heel and walk nicely on a leash. He gets along well with other dogs and is relatively gentle for a big puppy. He is a bit clumsy so would not recommend him for families with small children. Boca loves to run on trails. He is housebroken but has not had to opportunity to run free in the house without supervision. During the day he stays in a dog run because he strongly dislikes being in a crate. Boca has not been with cats but believe that with a little training he would be fine. Boca needs someone who is going to spend time working with him. Previous Weim ownership is a plus. This is not the kind of dog you get that is going to be perfect immediately. He is a PUPPY! He deserves a family that will exercise him and love him.
Boca has been neutered, heartworm tested (negative) and updated on all his shots.

Barney is a very sweet, grey boy about 18 months old. He loves to
play with other dogs, male and female. I have not found anyone he does not like,
adults or children, with the exception of Cats. He will need to go to a home
with no cats. He came to me from Second Chance Rescue. Second Chance
found him in a very bad situation (covered in fleas and ticks etc.). We will not
go into the etc. part it is too heartbreaking. He was found to have Lyme
Disease and is Heart worm positive. He has been treated and recovered from the
Lyme Disease. He was started on the heart worm treatment this weekend.
(Barney is the companion to Pebbles; they were both seized by Animal control for
neglect and were in horrible shape).
Barney is a sweet adorable boy; he is neutered and housebroken - he goes to the door to indicate he wants to go outside, but you have watch for it. He just craves affection; poor little guy, I don't think he has had that before. It is amazing how he came from such a bad situation and can still be so friendly and loving. He will be a great addition to a loving family.
PLEASE find a forever loving home for this sweet little guy!

My name is Rosie, I am a young ~ 14 month old Weimaraner female.
I
was
rescued from the Greenville Humane Society by the Greater
Charleston Weimaraner Club. I was a frightened young girl, very malnourished,
skin and bones and with a raging skin infection from fleas and poor nutrition. I
had been living on the streets for too long!
I am now spayed and up-to-date on all vaccinations, have put on some weight, and my coat is getting thick and shiny.
I have adapted to my foster home and family. I get along well with another Weimaraner in my foster home, Campbell, and a terrier/hound mix, Zac. We all share toys and beds. I am lease trained, and learning some basic obedience. I enjoy rides in the car, chasing squirrels in the backyard, going on walks in the neighborhood, and giving cuddles and kisses. I get on very well with children and other dogs (but not cats). I have moved from a wild, street dog to a gentle, family dog, Plus, I think I would be great at hunting and tracking with some training. I am a very sweet, loving girl looking for a family to love me in return.
My
adoption fee through the Greater Charleston Weimaraner Club is $250, and that
includes spaying, microchipping, and all vaccinations and any medications to

Blue is an approximately 20 month old
male. He was found running with two other Weims when picked up by Lexington
Animal Control. He is neutered and has had all his vaccines. He is heartworm
positive but under treatment. Blue is extremely sweet. His main goal in life is
to please humans. He has the usual amount of energy for a 20 month old Weim but
it is easily controlled with verbal commands due to his pleasing nature. He is
good with other dogs. He would probably chase cats, however, (if they run from
dogs) due to his love to chase things that roll or run. He is housebroken. He
does not seem to jump up on people so far. He just sits at your feet and looks
up at you with eyes begging to be loved.

9/5/08 ADOPTED! LOCATED IN CHARLESTON, SC.
"Pebbles" (we named her) is an adorable probably 16-18 month old grey female.
She was seized along with a male companion (Barney above) - likely her
litterbrother - by Animal Control and taken to the
Second Chance Rescue in Florence, SC because they were
being badly neglected (both were starving). The low life stated "they don't need nothin'
but a chain, water and a food bowl. " Sigh..... In spite of her sad
previous life, Pebbles is very loving, friendly and once we
get her in good shape, she will be just beautiful! Her eyes are almost
blue. She is very
underweight (46 lbs) and needs good nutrition. She is a small female, friendly,
affectionate,
happy girl who loves everybody. She learned to swim and retrieves from our pond,
she points, loves to retrieve a ball or toy and
enjoys her rawhide
chews. Amazingly, Pebbles will now swim over 30 yards in the pond and retrieve a
dummy to hand! She will make a fantastic dog for some lucky family!!
Update 8/28: Pebbles has been to the vet, now weighs 53 lbs, has been vaccinated, is HW negative and in good health. She is in heat now and will be spayed afterwards. She comes when called, sits on command, is crate trained, & housebroken. She would make a great Agility dog.

IN TRYON, NC (NEAR GREENVILLE,
ASHEVILLE)
Duke came to me from Arkansas. A woman there had passed away and had left 14 dogs behind. Supposedly her boyfriend was talking care of them but based on Duke’s behavior upon arrival he had been abused. Because of this I think Duke would do best in a family with no children or older children because he does tend to get scared easily. Duke would make someone a wonderful friend because he wants nothing more to please and be loved. The right family for Duke is a must. While I love this dog I have recued and rehabilitated him to the best of my ability. It is time for him to have a family and for me to make room for another.
Duke is up to date on Shots, heartworm prevention and Advantage Plus

Smokey is a 2 year old neutered male. He is about 100 lbs
of pure love and happiness. He is very energetic and is a
wonderful running partner (3-6 miles). He heels nicely off
the leash but will also walk nicely on the lead. He has
had basic obedience training and loves to jump agility
jumps or horse jumps (more his size). He is house broken
and will “go to bed” on command but he gets excited when
initially let into the house. He is crate trained where he
sleeps at night and stays inside a fence in the yard
during the day without a problem. He is a little clumsy
but is very sweet. Like most Weims he is strong willed
and will need an owner who can command respect.
Smokey’s owner died almost a year ago and he was inherited by her son who boarded him in a kennel where is was kept in a crate with no walks or exercise for 3 weeks before I rescued him. He had literally chewed his tail off and had to undergo surgery to cover the exposed bone. He still nips at it when he is nervous but it has healed nicely. He has been in my care for 7 months living with 6 other Weims. He is at an age where he needs to bond with someone. He is a wonderful, sweet dog who needs a Weim savvy family to give him the love and attention he deserves.
He is up to date on shots and is on heartworm protection and Advantage Plus.
Home must have fenced in yard, time to exercise and love to give. I will keep Smokey until I find him the home he deserves. References will be required and checked.

"Dietrich", a VERY handsome, 8-month old Weimaraner, is a very typical Weim
puppy. He was turned into the Florence shelter because his family was having
domestic problems and the wife insisted that the dog must go.
His inside behavior is calmer than
his outside behavior, again typical and a good thing. When he gets puppy-silly
inside, it is easily redirected to toys. He does not
bother people who are eating dinner
at the table. He enjoys
lying on the couch. He knows how to
“sit.” He rides well in a crate in
the car. I believe that it
is likely that in his previous home, he was stuck out
in the backyard and ignored which would have caused much
more unacceptable behavior resulting in his
predicament. He is extremely sweet and has a great level of
confidence. He does not appear to have suffered any
abuse. He would excel at agility
training as he is not afraid to go
under the couch to retrieve a ball. He has such
great potential to make someone a lifelong companion.

3/31/08 ADOPTED BY MILLICENT JORDAN - NEW NAME IS "KLAUS"! 3/4/08 LOCATED IN SUMMERVILLE, SC.
" MIKE" was picked up as a stray in Greenville, SC and adopted by our club
from the Greenville Animal Shelter. He is approximately 2-3 yrs old,
heartworm negative, has been wormed and is up to date on other vaccines.
Thanks to Katie Malone for providing his transportation from Greenville to us.
Mike is a very handsome, medium sized, neutered, Blue male. He has had
obedience training and is fine in a crate. He knows sit, stay, and fetch.
He retrieves and swims well! This is a really happy little guy whose tail
wags all the time and loves to be petted. He is playful and gets along
well with our other Weimaraners and other breeds. He will make someone an
excellent family member. He appears to have good hunting instincts and
should make a good gun dog. He seems to love kids. Probably not for cats.
He would be really happy with a family to give him training, attention, love,
with a fenced in yard & another dog to play with. He is very energetic
and would do best in an active home with owners who can jog or play with him a
lot.
Update 3/16 - they are now thriving,
gaining weight, having great fun playing, carry sticks and toys.
Update: 3/23 -Sassy (new name is "Lily")has been adopted (see below).
3/31/08 ADOPTED! 3/28/08 LOCATED IN STATESBORO, GA Owner wishes to place a nice young Blue girl:
My sweet pup, Darma Dear, is about 15 months old. She is a blue, very smart, well socialized, good with children and cats, and just needs so much more than we can give her. My husband found her when she was a puppy wandering in the woods and we knew nothing of the breed. We have 3 small children and since the baby was born, she just seems depressed. It breaks my heart. My husband works long hours and we cannot give her the time, love, and exercise she deserves. I would love to find a family that would appreciate her. She has been spayed, is current on her vaccinations, and is on heartworm preventative medication. We live in Statesboro, GA
3/23/08 ADOPTED BY THE ORTIZ
FAMILY! Her new name is "Lily"
Sassy one of
two adorable blue female Weim pups picked up as
strays by animal control near Myrtle Beach and taken to Horry County
Humane Shelter. Poor little things were skin and bones, were on medication and recovering from some minor illnesses. They are about
4 months old. They have had all their shots, wormed and microchipped.
They will need to be spayed at 6-8 months of age. With some TLC and
good nutrition, they should become wonderful happy family members for two loving
families. They love to play and want to be loved!

ADOPTED!
1/12/08 LOCATED IN CHARLESTON, SC.
"SPARTAN" is
about 3-4 yrs old. He was picked up as a stray by the Spartanburg Animal
Shelter. He is heartworm positive. He has been neutered and is up to
date on his vaccines. It is evident that he has had a hard life, and apparently
abused. He was sick and a rack of bones when we got him. We are
rehabilitating him, he is now in good weight and he is coming along nicely. He
feels much better, is very happy and playful. He loves to retrieve toys
and balls. Spartan seems so grateful for a warm bed, good food, clean water and
attention. He is very friendly,
plays well with females and neutered males. He is food aggressive with
other dogs. Cats unknown; but probably would not be good. He will
make an excellent gun dog as he knows about quail and has a staunch point.
Please consider giving Spartan a loving permanent home. Contact Elena Lamberson

IN COLUMBIA, SC YULE is a Blue neutered male puppy possibly as
young as 6 months old. He is heartworm negative. He was found as a stray
and taken to the Spartanburg shelter (these pictures came from the shelter).

him. Merry says he is really thin, but very cute and a playful puppy.
She is trying to put weight on him. She named him Yule for the Christmas

RESCUE INFORMATION
Rescue Weimaraners make absolutely wonderful pets! They seem so happy
to have a loving home. We carefully screen our rescue dogs and offer
for adoption only those who will fit into a family situation.
GCWC has had an active Weimaraner Rescue Program for many years. Our Rescue people have done a fabulous job rescuing and placing Weimaraners who have lost their homes. Most of our fund raising efforts go to our Rescue Program (see Gifts)
We are always in need of homes to foster rescue Weimaraners until a suitable home can be found.
The
Greater Charleston Weimaraner Club Rescue Program was established in 1987 when
our first Weim was “rescued” and place in a new home
Purpose
The purpose of the Greater Charleston Weimaraner
Club Rescue Program is to take Weims in need of homes, rehabilitate them, and
find loving new homes for these wonderful dogs.
Goal
Our goal is to give as many lost, neglected and
abandoned Weims as possible a second chance at a good life.
Where do Rescued Weims come from?
Often through no fault of
their own, Weimaraners are turned over to us because of lifestyle changes of
their owners. The owners divorce,
move to an apartment, have a baby, etc. and can no longer care for their
Weimaraner.
Why adopt an adult dog?
Weimaraner puppies, as cute
as they are, are notorious for causing havoc as they go through the
housebreaking, chewing, and basic learning stages.
Rescued Weims make wonderful companions.
How do I adopt a
Weimaraner?
In order to adopt a dog from
our Rescue Program, an adoption application must be completed.
This application can be found on our website under the Rescue Section.
How long does it
take to adopt a Weimaraner?
The length of the adoption
process depends on the availability of dogs in our Rescue Program that meet your
particular needs.
Some Rescue dogs are placed
within weeks of being received in our program.
Cost of adopting
a Weimaraner
A donation of $250 is
requested for each adopted Weimaraner.
