ADOPTED!
7/6/08 LOCATED
IN TRYON, NC (NEAR GREENVILLE,
ASHEVILLE)
Duke is a 4 year old blue Weim. He
came to me 3 years ago with mange,
starving and with heart worms. 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.
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

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 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.

ADOPTED 7/5/08! 5/14/08 LOCATED IN SENECA, SC
HISTORY : "ROSIE" (previously "EUROPA") A PITIFUL 1 YR OLD FEMALE PUPPY, HW
POS AND IN BAD SHAPE found as a stray and obtained from the Greenville
County Animal Shelter. We have her now in her foster home with Cassie Welsh in
Seneca, SC. Initial evaluation: She is spayed. She is a sweet,
frightened, young bitch, with a raging skin infection and very malnourished.
Cassie will be taking her to her vet for analysis and hopefully, with good food,
meds and TLC she will be ready for adoption in a few weeks. Photos will be
posted as soon as she is in better shape.
5/22
Update: Rosie is really sweet and loves to play with other dogs. She has
been treated for her skin & flea infections andher coat is clearing up;
she is up to date on vaccines and is being treated for HW. Currently, she
tries to jump or climb fences to get with her "person" but this is being
resolved.
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!
6/20/08: Update: she is housebroken, much better behaved
indoors, very social on our walks and visits, good with kids and adults and
other dogs, and so sweet and loving and loyal. Stays in my yard and is
happy to be at home. Not scared of noises, thunder etc. She is not good with
cats and squirrels (we do a lot of 'leave its' on our walks and don't move
forward until she is under control), but displays some good hunting traits if
there is anyone out there willing to put in the training with her.

6/8/08 ADOPTED! 4/10/08 LOCATED IN SUMMERVILLE, SC.
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:
April and my Weim Apache are getting along great – playing like brother and sister.
She loves following him everywhere. April also loves to chase squirrels out
of the yard. She has basic obedient knowledge. I am happy to say that she
is now sleeping in the crate beside my bed.
This
is a wonderful girl!! April
is very friendly and loves to play with other dogs.
The ideal home would have
a large fenced in yard, for her to run and play. Another dog as a companion
(large breed) for her to play with would be wonderful. Also, she does have strong hunting instincts.

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.

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. He
was very good at night, going to bed when we did and getting up with our other
dogs this morning, having no accidents in the house. He was so excited to be
able to go back outside this morning and was running around collecting all the
balls.
He is just a great dog and has a lot of love to give to his "people". Please find this wonderful guy a forever home!!

other dogs. He is trained well and is house broken. He walks well on a

"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.

"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.

" 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.

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

"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 eslamberson@msn.com

IN SUMMERVILLE, SC MISTY, an 18 month old female Weimaraner, was found
wandering the neighborhood on 12/10 and was taken in by Meghan in
because she was afraid she might get hit by a car. On 12/13, her owners
were found who were just a few houses down. She had escaped from her
kennel in the back yard where she spent most of her time. The
owners decided that they couldn't give her everything that she needs and
handed her over to Meghan. Here is her report:
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.
Missy loves people and dogs and just enjoys having attention. She
would be a great fit with someone who can take her on frequent walks and
with someone who has another dog she can bond and play with.

"Bourbon" was owner surrendered to the Columbia Animal Shelter for unknown
reasons. He is approximately a 4 year old male, neutered, HW negative,
microchip, and updated on all shoots. 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)

"JOE"
is said to be only about 2 yrs old, but
has had a sad life from a series of very bad owners and experiences, has been
neglected and mistreated. He was rescued - literally - by Kevin in
Beaufort who found him very thin, starving and chained to a tree at a drug
addict's trailer near Santee, SC. He was being fed only table scraps, had
lost most of his coat - and completely bald around his neck where the collar was
cutting. The strung out addict actually told Kevin that he had rescued him
from another God awful situation! Kevin took him off his chain and
the addict said "he will run away" but, fortunately, he jumped into
Kevin's truck. Kevin took off with Joe and drove him straight
to a vet , got him dewormed and his shots, gave him good food and he began to
grow hair and gain weight. Kevin has had him for 8 months, but can
no longer keep him (due to moving) so he turned him over to our rescue
program. Initial assessment: thin, subdued, bad coat, friendly.
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.
10/20/07 - Joe will be sent to Russ
Smith for some obedience training.

do well with outdoor cats. Gretal is heartworm positive and
eventually must be treated with Immiticide (our club and her shelter are willing
to pay for this). Right now, she is recovering from malnourishment.
Please consider giving Gretal a loving home!

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
Update: Gabe has been neutered and is
being treated for a light heartworm infection.
10/8/07 ADOPTED!!
10/5/07 LOCATED IN SAVANNAH, GA. "Jag"
is an approximately 1 yr old neutered male. 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

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
neutered, up to date on all shots, heartworm free , healthy and weighs about
75lbs. Does not like cats (actually he really likes cats - just not in a good
way). 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.

SHADOW

7/17/07 IN THE CHARLOTTE, NC AREA.
Zeb needs a good home. 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.
He responds great to all people but listens best to men. His
ideal home would have a fenced-in yard and/or owners with time for daily walks.
He loves attention and is a very devoted and loyal dog. He is a great protector
of home. The cost of his food for six months as well as the cost of his next
veterinarian check-up will be included.

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. Hazel is a small female and
appears to be around 1-2 yrs old. She is very friendly, loves attention
and plays with other Weimaraners and other dogs well. She is housebroken, is very sweet
and will make someone a wonderful pet. She has been spayed, had all her
shots and is microchipped.
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.
5/24/07 ELLIE HAS BEEN ADOPTED!
Her new name is ABBY. Thanks to Barbara Glover of
Charleston. 5/17/07
"ELLIE" - We will have this 4 month old adorable bitch puppy available soon. She was turned in to

4/24/07 MOLLY HAS BEEN ADOPTED BY THE ROGER
FAMILY AND IS NOW NAMED GRACIE!
4/15/07 - LOCATED IN FOUNTAIN INN, SC -
Molly was found March 26 at my home. 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!
IN 2007 WE
SUCCESSFULLY PLACED 28 Rescue Weimaraners IN LOVING HOMES.
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. Click here to see
one sweet girl "Loki"who has been rehabilitated.
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
is making a nice recovery, is coming around 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.

RALEIGH, NC! CONTACT:
