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!

THE FOLLOWING DOGS HAVE BEEN ADOPTED INTO LOVING HOMES - THANK YOU!!

HAPPY ENDINGS FOR OUR FORMER RESCUE WEIMS

She enjoys the company of my other dogs and has been sweet and welcoming to anyone wanting to pet her. She is on her last week of antibiotics for her upper respiratory infection and is getting better and stronger by the day. She is housebroken and loves to lay her head in your lap and just be loved on. She will make someone a wonderful dog!

10.   2/27/10 ADOPTED! 2/1/10 LOCATED IN CHARLESTON, SC "BILLY" is a really beautiful boy, very sweet, laid back, approx 3 yr old neutered male.  He gets along well with other dogs, is very friendly and would make someone a wonderful companion.  He is up to date on all vaccines,  and ready to find his forever home.  He is low heartworm positive and is being treated with monthly ivermectin. He seems to adore children.  I think he started out in a wonderful home, something happened and he went from a good life to a bad life.  Poor little guy!  He walks by your side and loves attention.  He will make a wonderful family pet for a lucky family

9.   2/26/10 ADOPTED!  2/21/10 LOCATED IN GREENVILLE, SC This is "Trevor." He's a little over a year old and was picked up in Columbia as a stray...no one came to claim him.

When she is out in the front yard she stays close to the house and comes when called. Caring for her is very easy. She is a very sweet dog and will make a wonderful companion for the right person.

6. 2/16/10 ADOPTED!  1/25/10LOCATED IN CHARLESTON, SC "HONEY"  Yes, we know. Honey is not a Weimaraner.  She is part yellow lab and has some hound in her. But, what a beautiful face!!   Part of her tail was probably lost in an injury. We ended up with her by mistake but she is soooo sweet and would make a wonderful family pet.  She has had a sad previous life.  An old man in the woods of Brunswick, GA had been feeding her for 6-7 months.  He was leaving and asked the Brunswick shelter to help him with his "purebreed weemer"  They contacted us, set up transport to the old man and so we have her.  He said she had been tied out for a long time, finally broke free and found him.  Honey is about 7 yrs old, up to date on all vaccines.  Please find Honey a home

She is a sweet and smart girl who needs a lot of exercise. She 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.

Vivi (short for Vivian) is 3 years old, spayed, up-to-date on all vaccinations, heartworm and flea free, house trained, crate trained, has always lived inside with outside access to a large fenced back yard, has never been exposed to cats or children, has spent her whole life with me, my husband and one other dog (a female Great Dane), is prone to summertime allergies and weighs 80 lbs.

ADOPTED THE FOLLOWING DOGS IN 2008

   12/31/09 ADOPTED! 11/11/09 LOCATED IN CHARLESTON, SC  "RAVEN" 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.

46 12/6/09 ADOPTED! 11/20/09 LOCATED IN TRYON, NC.  Russell is about 2 years old, healthy and up to date on shots. He is house broken and crate trained. He is very good in the house but will get into trouble if left for too long alone. He will walk on a leash and run off leash and stay close. He loves to go on trail runs and mountain biking. He has great stamina and is up to about 8 miles on either. Russell loves 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.

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!

43 11/15/09 ADOPTED!  10/18/09 LOCATED IN CHARLESTON, SC  "Ranger" is a 9 month old,  neutered grey pup who has been well cared for and is up to date on all vaccines, heartworm negative.  He was given up by his family because he is a typical, rambunctious,  Weim teenager.   He is getting obedience training and responding well with his lessons.  He will make a great dog for an active family.  Ranger is very handsome, very happy, affectionate and friendly.

Then she was placed in our Rescue Program.  In the coming weeks, we will be working on her self confidence.   We estimate that she is about 4-5 yrs old.  She needs a loving family to help her live a wonderful life and  forget her sad previous life.  She has been spayed and her teeth cleaned.  She is ready for her forever family.

10/17/09 ADOPTED! 10/3/09 LOCATED IN 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.
 

39    10/18/09 ADOPTED!   10/5/09 LOCATED IN CHARLESTON, SC "PETE" is a very handsome, approximately 4 yr old neutered male.  He was obtained from the Lexington shelter.  He is very sweet, gentle, plays well with other dogs, is tolerant of puppies jumping all over him.  Pete has a shoulder  injury which causes him to limp.  He has been evaluated by an orthopedic surgeon who feels it is an old injury and he has adjusted to it.  Pete loves to carry the bumper around.  He knows some obedience commands, and we think he can do some tricks.  He tries to sit up, speak and shake hands.  He can run, jump in and out of the car.  He would make a wonderful family pet.

3810/12/09 ADOPTED! 9/29/09 COLUMBIA, SC There is a very nice neutered male 4 yr old Weim "Toby"  who needs a home in or near Columbia, SC. He must be rehomed because the new baby is allergic to him.  The family is heartbroken.  Toby will go to a wonderful new family!

37   10/10/09 ADOPTED! 10/7/09 LOCATED IN CHARLESTON, SC.  "Carlie" is a 2 yr old, spayed, Blue Weimaraner with a long tail.  She is spayed, up to date on all vaccines.    She jumped right into our pond, sank, popped up and swam for the dummy!  She loves to retrieve and loves to run.  Carlie is a very sweet girl, well muscled and ready to play.   She is friendly, tail wags constantly, has a great personality and would be a super dog for an active family.

36 10/10/09 ADOPTED! 10/7/09. LOCATED IN CHARLESTON, SC. Zoey is a 5 yr old, sweet, very friendly girl who will make a wonderful family member.  She was fostered by Barbara Glover and adopted before we could post her!  The Lukacs family now
enjoys her company! Zoey is a lucky girl.

35   10/9/09 ADOPTED! LOCATED IN 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.

34 10/3/09 ADOPTED! 9/27/09 LOCATED IN CHARLESTON, SC "April" is a 3 yr old female who was given up due to financial hardship.  She is spayed,  a very sweet girl, loves to play with other dogs, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative.  She has been a housedog and will make a wonderful family dog.  No cats.  Her adoption fee is $250

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!  They are gaining confidence and loving all the attention and good food.  All have gained weight, are glad to see us every day and love to go on walks on the flexi lead.

20  At the shelter         After Katie Malone cleaned and fixed him up 6/5/09 ADOPTED! 6/4/09 LEONARDO. (previously known as Manley) was turned in to the Greenville shelter (also said that Animal control took him from owner due to neglect) by "owner" and said to be 5 yrs old.  We found out later that he will be 13 yrs this year.  Previous owners wanted to put him down in January 09.  But a "friend" took him.  He was in horrible condition.  His last vet visit he weighed 65 lbs.  He now weighs about 35.  He had been hurt and neglected.  What kind of friend would do this to a sweet old dog?  Thanks to Katie Malone for pulling him from the Greenville shelter, finding out about his previous life and patching him up.  And, thanks to Dan Blakely for telling his brother, Claude who adopted Leonardo to allow him to live out the rest of his days at a lovely  home on Lake Greenwood.

New name is Manfred and here he is at Claude Blakely's home:

19     5/12/09 ADOPTED! 2/10/09 LOCATED IN SENECA, SC (45 mi West of Greenville) Josie is a 7 yr old female. She has a very gentle temperament, but is a little shy. She is an excellent housedog that would get along with other dogs well but  not cats. She has been shown and is trained to hunt.  She travels well and is also crate trained. Her mother is Ch. Smoke's Hifalutin Grea Lady JH, sire is Globemasters Jolly St. Nick. SD,NSD,SH,V. 

17 & 18     5/10/09 ADOPTED! 4/14/09 LOCATED IN COLUMBIA, SC.  Brooklyn and Benson have been together for 6 yrs.

16  4/6/09 ADOPTED!  4/1/09 LOCATED IN CHARLESTON, SC.  "Jaxon" is a beautiful, 4 yr old, neutered, HW neg male.  He was well cared for in a loving home but had to be given up due to the economy (family lost jobs and cannot sell home, etc).  He is up to date on vaccines and is AKC reg.  He a very sweet affectionate boy, gets along well with other dogs, loves to play and will make someone a fabulous family member.  His adoption fee is $250.  Jaxon was adopted by a loving family!

15   3/27/09 ADOPTED! 3/23/09 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.
New name is Betty!

14    3/13/09 ADOPTED! 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.

8 2/14/09 ADOPTED!! 1/23/09 LOCATED IN CHARLESTON, SC.   "BITZY" - this is a pitiful, small female who is a "bred and thrown away" girl.  She  was recently bred, her puppies taken and then she was dumped by some low life.  She was sick and her coat was in terrible condition.  She badly needed some TLC and is now being loved and nurtured by Barbara Glovers family.  Bitsy is scheduled to be spayed the last week of January.  When she is ready she will be posted.

5   1/23/09 ADOPTED! 1/9/09 LOCATED IN FRANKLIN, NC (NEAR  HIGHLANDS, NC )Turbo  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.  

4     1/17/09 ADOPTED! 12/30/08 LOCATED IN CHARLESTON, SC. AMOS is a 7 yr old Blue neutered male up to date on all his shots. He was found tied to a tree starving in the upstate. A kind neighbor took him from the low lives who were mistreating him and gave him to a volunteer in our rescue program who brought him to his foster home in Charleston.
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.   New name Ranger - here he is the day he was adopted by the Nelson family.

53 12/24/08ADOPTED! 12/17/08 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." 

52   12/808 ADOPTED!! 12/5/08 LOCATED IN CHARLESTON, SC.  Benny was picked up as a stray in the Georgetown area.  He is underweight and has certainly been neglected.  I don't think he has ever lived inside before.  He loves his soft bed and good food.  He is a small male about 14 months old and weighs 50 lbs.  He needs some TLC.  Benny is very sweet, friendly, loves to play with my 4 month old puppy.  He is microchipped,  neutered and up to date on all vaccinations.  He will make someone a wonderful family pet.

51 12/5/08 ADOPTED! 10/10/08 LOCATED NEAR MYRTLE BEACH, SC. Our loving Weimaraner, Sophie,  is a 3 yr old, spayed,  sweet dog, very loyal, fun to be around, very pretty. She has gone through basic training at the canine command center and as long as she gets the attention and exercise she needs is obedient. She needs owner (s) that will be sure she gets daily exercise, good attention, and limited kid contact.   Good with other dogs, but not cats.  She is also a good watchdog.  Current on all shots & very healthy.

Sophie is being fostered by her owners.

50        11/21/08 ADOPTED! 11/12/08 LOCATED IN CHARLESTON, SC "Bonnet" is a really pretty, fairly large Blue girl who appears to be about 1 yr old.   She was sent to us by the Marion Animal Shelter where she had been turned in by her owner. She was likely thrown in someone's back yard and ignored. She is very friendly and  playful but territorial with food.  She needs obedience 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 with and taken to obedience classes.  Bonnet is very smart and  learns fast, but needs a firm hand to teach her manners.

49   11/20/08 ADOPTED!! 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.

48    11/24/08 ADOPTED! 11/8/08 LOCATED IN CASHIERS, NC Sallie was found wandering recently around Gorges State Park in Transylvania County, NC with a piece of retractable lead attached to an old collar.

Although quite timid, she will make someone a wonderful family member.  

 43  11/4/08 ADOPTED! 8/19/08 LOCATED IN WAYNESBORO, GEORGIA.  Savannah is our 4 year old loving female.  She is up to date on all of her shots, has been on heart-guard since required, and was just spayed on 08/14/08. This is a very somber time for me and my husband, but we feel that it may be in the best interest for Savannah. We have another Weim, Sallie. We refer to the two as "our girls". We started out with an underground fence that they figured out.  She likes to get out and run and play.   We just cannot seem to keep her in our yard.

42 10/25/08 ADOPTED! 10/15/08 LOCATED IN  ANDERSON, SC (NEAR GREENVILLE) Jackson  is  3 1/2 years old  neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative and up-to-date on all shots.  He weighs about  85lbs and is  tall  & lean. He LOVES to be outside, but only to play....he is a total inside, cuddling, couch potato Weimaraner!  He also loves to play fetch (with anything...even pine cones), go on walks, jogs and any activities outside where he can be with his owner.  He is always happy and ready to love and be loved!  He is completely house trained, but like most Weims will counter surf and trash can dive if given the opportunity.  He was crate trained as a puppy but has been free to roam when left home alone for the last 1 1/2 years, but still feels safe in his crate if he needs to be there.  He is good with other dogs but better with females, and has no issues with cats.  He needs a fenced in yard with lots of room and time to play daily, he also loves lots of attention! He will sit, speak, lay, roll over and shake for anything edible...especially banana and peanut butter!

Jackson's owners had to move and could not take him.  They are broken hearted and want to find a wonderful home for him.

41   10/20/08 ADOPTED! 10/6/08 LOCATED IN HILTON HEAD, SC Heidi  is a  3 yr old female.  This girl was living in Olar, South Carolina.  She lived in a pen in the back yard.  She is very shy.  She likes other dogs and does not appear to be cat aggressive.  After working with her for three days she will come to me.  I have been working on teaching her some simple manners.  She is learning to walk on a leash and to sit.  She is very sweet.  She has been spayed and is heartworm negative.  I hope with the right family who understands her, she can enjoy the life she deserves. In 10 days Heidi has come a long way!  She will now put her head in my lap and wags her tail when I put her leash on.  In order for her to finish her healing, she needs a home!  I can only give her one hour a day and she needs more.  She is gentle and loves other animals.  Can anyone find it in their heart to open their home to this sweet girl?

40  10/19/08 ADOPTED!! 9/19/07 LOCATED BETWEEN GREENVILLE & SPARTANBURG:  "Harry" is approx. 7 years old, Gray, Neutered, sweet natured house dog. Current on all shots, and on heartworm prevention. He is housebroken, crate-trained.  He is fine with children,  but he will chase cats. Harry's type of home would be someone with  a big yard so he could run and play outside during the day and be a housedog  at night or someone who can play with him or can take him for walks/runs regularly.  Harry would be great for an active family who can give him exercise, obedience training and attention. Harry is being fostered by his owner. Please consider giving Harry a good home.

39 10/18/08 ADOPTED! 10/10/08 LOCATED NEAR COLUMBIA, SC "Bishop" is a sweet male Weimaraner born November 2005. He is a very happy boy with fantastic joyful exhuberance. He loves his toys and especially loves to suck on his teddy bear (see photo).  He is neutered and heartworm
negative.  He seems to love the water and love people.  And he really likes to lay on your lap on the couch!  Bishop will need obedience training to
learn to walk well on a lead but his great attitude should make training a pleasure.

38 10/8/08 ADOPTED! 10/6/08 LOCATED IN HILTON HEAD, SC Winston is a neutered male 5 years old.  He has also been living in a pen on Olar, SC.  He was lucky enough to have had a year in another home in the beginning of his life and is better socialized than Heidi.  He likes people and other dogs.  He is like a bull in a china shop at present.  He is being taught to walk on a leash, sit, down and come when called.  Winston is overweight and has been put on a diet.  He will make someone a great companion
 

37   10/5/08 ADOPTED! 8/20/08 LOCATED IN CHARLESTON, SC.

However, her previous owners were elderly and could  keep up with her.   They were broken hearted to have to give her up. Bella is a BEAUTIFUL girl!  It would be wonderful to take her to obedience classes.  She likes to play with other dogs.  She will make someone a wonderful family member.  Please consider giving Bella a forever home. Her adoption fee is $250. 

36 10/1/08 ADOPTED!  9/21/08 LOCATED IN TRYON, NC (On the border between NC/SC 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.

35  9/29/08 ADOPTED! 9/21/08 LOCATED IN CAYCE, SC  "LILY" is a  2 1/2 yr old spayed, grey female in good health, who was left by a service man in the care of a 75 yr old friend.  The service man could not take her back and the elderly gentleman who has emphysema could not take her for walks any longer.  He asked us to take her into rescue.  She has been well taken care of and is a great house dog.  .

33 & 34 10/1/08 BOTH  LUCY & WINSTON HAVE BEEN ADOPTED BY THE DAVIS FAMILY!  9/21/08 PENDING ADOPTION!! 9/14/08 LOCATED IN BEAUFORT, SC 

 32 9/22/08 ADOPTED!! 8/25/08 LOCATED IN FLORENCE, SC 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!

He has since undergone treatment for the heartworm and mange and is a beautiful healthy dog with wonderful manners. He is a gentleman’s dog. He is very obedient and heels nicely on and off the leash. He enjoys running and has a special talent for hunting turtles. Yes, he sniffs out turtles and brings them to me without injuring them. He is currently living with 6 other Weims which he does ok with but in a perfect world he would be an only dog. He loves going for walks and playing ball. He stays outside in a fenced in area or in a dog run during the day and sleeps inside in a crate at night.

24 7/8/08 ADOPTED!! 7/6/08 LOCATED IN TRYON, NC (NEAR GREENVILLE, ASHEVILLE) Smokey is a 2 year old neutered male. He is about 100 lbs of pure love and happiness.

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.

5/29: Update: Rosie is a happy, affectionate young bitch who is adapting to her foster home and family. She gets on well with my Weim, Campbell and terrier mix  Zac, and they all share toys and beds. Rosie is gaining weight, getting used to a leash, collar and check chain, and learning some basic obedience and manners. She enjoys rides in the car, chasing squirrels in the backyard, going on walks in the neighborhood, and giving cuddles and kisses. Everyone who meets her comments on her friendly temperament and beauty (despite her somewhat patchy coat at this time). We are working on changing her from a wild, street dog to a gentle, family dog.  She will make someone a wonderful dog!

APRIL is approximately 2 yrs old, spayed female.  She is a sweet, good natured girl.  She needs further obedience training, but is housebroken and plays well with other dogs.  She is up to date on vaccinations and will make someone a very nice family pet.  Here is her foster home's assessment by Russ Smith:

20   5/27/08 ADOPTED!   3/10/08 LOCATED IN CHARLESTON, SC LINDY is a approx. 4 year bitch who was found wandering in a starved condition in Bryan County near Pembroke, GA. . She was obviously bred many times and then dumped  by her low life owner when she could no longer produce puppies.  She was heartworm positive but has been treated; so now she only needs the normal monthly heartworm medication. With TLC, good food and exercise, Lindy has gained weight and her new coat is shining through from her near starvation.

This is a great dog! She is very affectionate, LOVES attention and to be petted.  She loves kids.  Her tails wags all the time and she is very smart.  She likes to retrieve toys or balls and gets along  with the other Weims and other breeds.   Lindy will make someone an excellent housedog and family member.  She is house broken and crate trained. 

Lindy is spayed and is available for adoption.   She would do best  in a home with no cats and with a family who can give her a lot of attention. 

      5/29/08 ADOPTED!  5/5/08  LOCATED IN COLUMBIA, SC  "LORI" is a 4 yr old, spayed, medium sized female.  She was turned in by her owner  in Myrtle Beach, SC due to various family problems.  She is in good health, up to date on vaccines, friendly, heartworm negative, house trained, leash trained and well cared for.   She gets along with other dogs.  Probably not cats. She would make someone a wonderful house dog.

     5/30/08 ADOPTED! 5/20/08 LOCATED IN ANDERSON, SC "Max" is a very sweet,  7 yr old, neutered Blue male,  HW negative, well cared for and had to be given up by his owner.  He gets along well with other dogs, is a playful, happy dog who will make someone a great family member.  Max has a strong hunting instinct, and is happiest when with you or with the other dogs. We took him to the lake and he spotted a bird and sprinted after it. You can hardly tell he is 7 years old! He loved the lake and swam in the water after our labs. He was
happy following them in the water and running back and forth on the deck with us. He listens great and knows sit and come. He also rides well in the car.

   5/11/08 ADOPTED! 4/20/08  LOCATED IN CAYCE, SC  "CRICKET" is an approx. 3 yr old female Weim stray who was found helping another female mix take care of her litter of puppies in Greenville, SC. 

This is an absolutely gorgeous girl! She obviously has lived in a house before.  She 
feels that any piece of furniture good enough for you is good enough for her.  She is house trained and shows very good manners.  She  doesn't jump up on people. She is very compatible with my Jack Russell 
mix and my Weimaraner, and has showed no aggression to them.  She even bumps into my Weim when the two are chasing after a ball.

Cricket loves to play with other dogs.

She has a very cooperative personality.  She competes for a ball with my dog without any aggression.    She comes to me and sits.  She is very sweet overall.  You can pet her and touch her while she is eating with her showing no concern.  She will allow  me to manipulate her feet.     She is calmer than my 4 yo male.  She is  not a swimmer.  She walks well on a leash.

Cricket has been spayed and is ready for adoption.  She is HW positive but will be treated with monthly Ivermectin.

  4/29/08 ADOPTED BY LARRY & ELAINE WILLIAMS! "Shelby" an 8 month old puppy bitch, was received into our Rescue program  mid April by a concerned fellow in Florence, SC who noted she was being neglected and abused by her irresponsible owner.  She was at first shy and afraid, but with help from Melissa Harley, Shelby was found to be a wonderful, sweet,  well behaved 8 month old girl.  She has now been renamed Zoe and is being adored by the Williams family in Columbia, SC

  4/16/08 ADOPTED BY DANIELLE CONSENTI. 4/4/08 LOCATED IN CHARLESTON, SC.  "DUNES"  appears to be approximately 1 yr old.  He was taken to the Charleston shelter where we took him in our foster program.   He is really a lovely, light silver grey boy.  "Mr. Happy"  is very friendly, happy and lovable. His tail wags his whole body!  He has all shots and is Heartworm positive.  Currently, he is undergoing HW treatment (note shaved spots on his back) and must be confined for 3 wks during which time I will try to get some weight on him.  After 4/25 he will be able to play as a normal youngster.  He would benefit from obedience classes just so he can learn and bond with his lucky family!   He is willing to please, does not seem to have any bad habits.

   4/10/08 ADOPTED! 3/26/08 LOCATED IN COLUMBIA, SC AREA. "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. 

4/4/08 ADOPTED BY RANDY & HEATHER SWINGLE.  3/26/07 BELLA is about 5 yrs old, spayed.  She was one of 2 dogs dumpted at the Charleston Shelter.  She has all her shots, is HW negative, loves to play ball, swim and retrieve.

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.

She's a super sweet girl who loves to have fun.  She's been thoroughly enjoying her daily walks and playing with my two dogs.  She's learning very quickly how to walk correctly on a leash  She needs occasional corrections, but she's a fast learner.  Though she has never been an inside dog, she has been living in my house this past week and has been great.  She hasn't had any accidents.  She likes to chew on bones and toys, but has, so far, kept her mouth away from the furniture.  According to Missy's owners, she was born in June of '06, so she is approximately 1 1/2 years old.  She is not spayed and recently had a litter.  She does have a slight birth defect: her left eyelid doesn't close, so she has to use her inner eyelid for blinking.

Bourbon is friendly, great personality, and has shown no bad habits.  He is crate trained, house broken, get along well with other dogs, friendly with new people, walks well on lead, and honors many obedience commands.  There is no doubt in my mind, Bourbon was a loved and well maintained family pet – a little too well maintained in the feeding department (see pictures)

10/1/07: Update.  Joe is neutered, up to date on shots, is heartworm positive but is on heartworm medication, and has some health issues related to malnutrition, which should resolve on a good diet. He is playful, friendly and gets along well with my other dogs.  He will make someone a wonderful companion.  He does well as a house dog too.  Probably would not do well with outdoor cats.

10/18/07: Update.  Joe is handsome, an active, energetic boy, doing really well, and now is swimming!   He has a beautiful face! See him in the pic above  (orange collar) swimming with the other Weims.  He enjoys playing with my other dogs and is learning to retrieve.  He has also been observed pointing, so he may be a good bird dog. He would be great for an active family who can give him the exercise he loves.

He is being fostered by Russ Smith.  Thanks Mike for helping Greydog. Here is Russ' report:

Gabe is about 1 yr old. In the short time that I have had Gabe, I can say he is a wonderful dog.  Gabe sleeps while traveling, is house broken, create trained, honors basic commands, get alone with cats (loves to eat cat food – Mike had this problem), and plays friendly with other dogs (Labradors, Weims, and other dogs at the vet)  Honestly he is a loving dog who can be place with no rehabilitation.  The worst thing he has done is jump up on me- but with a quick knee – he thinks twice of doing that again.  Gabe really is Smart and wants to learn.  When I took him to work, he was friendly with everyone (all races and sexes) so he really is socialized. 

Gabe is full of Love, who wants a little love in return.  When I say “no” he will stop and come to me with an apologetic look.  Gabe really wants to be a good dog.  Adoption fee is $250

Here is the initial report from Alison Armao who picked him up from Beaufort Animal Control.: He was picked up from Beaufort County Animal Control.  He is heart worm negative, up to date on all shots, and recently neutered. 

I did a temperament test on him today and find him to be a non aggressive male. He does not startle.  He has moderate ball drive.  His leash manners need work.  I was not able to test his prey drive.  He rides well in a car and after a few minutes settles down in a crate. He will make an active family a good pet.  Because he is a large male he would do best with someone who has time and the strength to exercise him.  He will need obedience training and probably is not house broken.  He appears to have lived somewhere other than inside a home.  When with other dogs he is submissive

   10/8/07 ADOPTED!! 8/31/07 LOCATED IN TRYON, NC Blue is a 2 year old grey Weimaraner who was rescued from a Greenville, SC Shelter in May 2007.

He is housebroken and very good and calm in the house but should NOT be left unattended. He likes to chew on Nylabones. Blue has worked up to runs of 3-5 miles and will heel off the leash on trails during runs or mountain biking (training collar recommended). Blue has also learned to swim and play fetch over the last few months. Blue is very energetic and a bit clumsy which has earned him the nickname "Scooby Blue".  Blue is good with children despite the fact that he is clumsy. Blue needs an owner to bond with, but he also needs a person who is educated in the ways of a Weimaraner. Blue has been in a shelter and 2 homes over the last 3 months - he is beginning to feel unwanted so please if you have some Weimaraner savvy give this boy a try.

He is a full-blooded AKC-registered male Weimaraner, 9 years old, neutered and has no health issues.  He has a sweet disposition and lots of energy.  He is very intelligent and great with kids.  He is good with other dogs, as long as he can be the Alpha Dog.  Zeb is obedience-trained and walks/runs great on a leash.  He has been an inside dog his entire life and is completely house broken.

    8/17/07 ADOPTED BY LIZ CHASE. 8/2/07 IN CHARLESTON, SC AREA.  "Hazel" was picked up in July by animal control in Georgetown, SC.  She had obviously been chained out in some low life's yard.   The collar cut into her neck and she had beds of ticks on her body.

  8/4/07 ADOPTED BY  Wayne Whiteside of Greenwood, SC 7/6/07 STERLING, GREENVILLE  (Simpsonville) AREA.  Information from owner: I adopted Sterling about 3 years ago from Alabama. He is very tall and 95 pounds (large for a weim), 6-1/2 years old, neutered, with no health problems. I have changed jobs and am traveling more.  My mother will be moving in with us at the end of July as well.  Due to these changes in my life, I need to find Sterling a better suited home for him.  My mother is older and small and Sterling has accidentally knocked her off her feet several times. Sterling is an indoor dog.  He is crated in our living room at night to sleep (after 10PM).  He is house broken and almost never has accidents. He has attended obedience school but still has to wear a pinch collar to prevent him from pulling during walks.
 
He plays well with other dogs that do not show aggression, especially smaller ones.  He is quite aggressive with other alpha males. He likes to be the center of attention.  He misses the attention he used to get before I started traveling so much and before my children became so busy after school with sports. We initially tried to travel with Sterling for short weekend trips but realized he does not travel well and becomes very anxious.
 

  7/15/07 ADOPTED. 6/14/07 IN THE COLUMBIA, SC AREA: Information from owner: Sage is 4 1/2 - 5 years old and has been spayed.   She is up for adoption due to the divorce of her owner who must move to an apartment. She is petite at 55 lbs. She is an extremely happy and playful dog. She takes very well to a crate. She does well inside if people are home with her or if she is in a crate. My common practice with her was to crate her during the day and have her out with the family in the evenings.

Sage is a very smart dog, and gets bored easily. She is well trained and responds very
well to commands. She loves walks and walks very well on a leash. She loves to cuddle on the couch.

Sage is an alpha dog. She has always gotten along very well with our other Weim, Boone. However, I have noticed that she does not get along as well with other dogs. She seems to have a spicy streak in her, but gets in line quickly when commanded.  She does not mix well with cats.

 

 7/1/07 - Adopted by Trey Hiott! 6/30/07 BAXTER in the Charleston, SC area is a handsome young dog, 9 months old, housebroken, in good health, has AKC papers and all vaccinations.  He is learning to adapt to new people and new doggy friends.   He is scheduled to be neutered  7/2/07.  Adoption fee is $250.   Baxter will make someone a great friend!

   5/30/07 CAMDEN HAS BEEN ADOPTED! 5/10/07  "Camden" (formerly BooBoo) was picked up at the Camden Animal Shelter and is now in our Rescue program.  He is an approximately 1 yr old unneutered male, heartworm negative, all shots.  He was given up by his family because they thought he was too rambunctious for their young child. Stacy Collum who picked him up from the shelter, said she took him to a park and played with him for about an hour and he is a sweet natured, really nice boy who will make a wonderful pet.

5/12/07 Update from Russ Smith:  Camden is on medication for his respiratory infection. When that clears up he will be neutered.  Camden has been around many strangers in the past few days and is friendly with them - so he is very socialized.  Camden has been around several dogs (mine, Stacy's, at the vet) again friendly, no aggression at all. Camden has started to recognize his new name, walks great on lead, comes on command, and even honors the word "no" I have had no problem transporting him, Camden jumps right into both my work and personal trucks.  He is already crate trained, goes right in, lies down, and is quiet all night. Camden is really a great dog. I honestly see no reason for anyone to have ever surrendered this dog.

She was in heat when found and stayed with me for 5 or 6 days until My aunt Rosalia took her. She is a very sweet but was scared of sudden movements. She is also very good with children I have an eight year old son with High level autism that is not always as gentle as he should be and very loud. But my son was the only one Molly wasn't scared of .she was very good around him even let him hug and rub all over her. which my own dog doesn't even let him do. I was very impressed. she is a wonderful dog that loves attention (she will follow you everywhere) and I really hope she gets a good home. 

  4/15/07 LOLA HAS BEEN ADOPTED!! Thanks to  Gary and Hope Paul, in Moncks Corner.3/15/07  Here is information from Russ Smith, who is fostering Lola in Summerville, SC:
LOLA  is a young female less than a year old.  She has a very sweet attitude,  and is full of energy (puppy in adult body); she has a natural tail (not docked).  Lola came from an abusive situation, she was beaten for doing wrong, yet that was all the attention she ever got.  She spent most of her day locked in a house alone-but was not house broken, and appeared to have no training at all.  She freaked out the first day when I put a collar and lead on her.Today Lola wears a collar, and  works much better on a lead.  She will sit and come - especially if you have treats.  Lola's crate training has come a long way - will sleep all night but the crate must be in your room.  I do not recommend creating if you leave the house, she will freak out and non-stop bark and try to get out.  But she travels great in a crate - and has spends many hours in the truck while we are in the bird field.  I would say she is house trained now - but she still wants to chew on things - so keep plenty of chew toys.  Lola will make a great watch dog, she alert bark at every noise she hear, and lets me know anytime someone walks by the fence in the back yard. 

I have introduced her to quail - and last week we got a point.  So with a little more training she would make a good hunting partner.

DEUCE HAS BEEN ADOPTED! 3/12/07 DEUCE  2/14/07;  neutered male, is located in Sumter, SC  Will make someone a great pet!

I got Deuce on Friday 2/9, and he is your typical Weim. Looks to be fairly young. With a little work (he catches on fast) he knows sit, stay, come, down, and has learned to  use the doggy door. Of course more work is needed in this area. He will go to the door to go out, but will not scratch, so you have to pay attention. This dog just needs exercise and attention. He has found out what a cat is , pretty much just wants to smell them. Gets along with any size dog. Likes children, but he does like to jump around, so small children may be a problem. I think with some one-on-one training that could be worked out because he is very friendly and wants to please. He is going to be neutered immediately. He should be ready to find a family by 2/21/07.

  KAY 3/6/07 ADOPTED! Thank you Nancy Bixby and family of Lexington, SC - is spayed and located in the Charleston area.   We believe she is about 2 yrs old. She came from a HORRIBLE puppy mill in Raleigh, NC. 60 dogs were rescued from this hell hole.  We believe Kay and her co prisoners were never touched in a nice way by humans.  They were terrified of humans.   We have been fostering Kay and 2 others since December and have made great strides!  She is still timid but is much better.  Kay is ready for a new home as long as the home realizes that she is very shy and afraid of people.  She walks on lead, plays well with other dogs. Cats and kids unknown (we have neither).  I doubt that she has any aggressive bone in her body.  She is pretty and needs an understanding home.  Please find room in your heart for KAY! 

1/27/07 ALEXA HAS BEEN ADOPTED! Thanks to Ms. Donna Koczon and her family for finding a loving home for her. "ALEXA" -  Alexa is  approx. 18 months old, spayed,  HW negative, and one of 3 bitches rescued from a horrible puppy mill in Raleigh, NC.  They had no positive human contact; they have been mistreated and were terrified of humans.  After over a month of gentle care, Alexa is now a tail wagging happy girl.  She is still afraid of loud noises and fast movement toward her.  She plays well with other dogs and is house broken.  Alexa will make someone a wonderful pet if they understand her need of gentle, quiet care.  She is being fostered in the Charleston, SC area.
