Saving one gray dog at a time......
|
The Weimaraner is a serious study in drama vs. comedy.
Those who share a household with a Weim must have incredible patience and
a sense of humor!

|
Who should own a Weimaraner: only
people and families who enjoy an active life style with lots of time
outdoors. They are excellent companions for runners, walkers and
hikers. If hunting is part of your recreation, they are an excellent
personal gun dog. They are thorough, meticulous hunters with a great
nose and natural retrieving instincts. As such, they need to live on
a fenced property.
Who should NOT own a Weimaraner:
Weimaraners require a serious time commitment. Weimaraners do not do
well when they have hours of time on their hands for they will take out
their boredom on furnishings, or anything else they see as a source of
amusement. They are not a dog that can be relegated to a kennel
situation. They are strong and are not recommended for frail people.

Weimaraner Club & Rescue Mission:
The Atlanta Weimaraner Club
Rescue (“AWCR”) is a group of Weimaraner enthusiasts and owners in the Atlanta
area. The mission of the club is to provide Weimaraner owners with a place to
meet folks that enjoy doing things with their Weimaraners. In addition to the
social aspect of the club, the Atlanta Weimaraner Club
provides for the rescue, care, and adoption of
lost, surrendered and homeless Weimaraners. The AWCR assists in re-homing
Weimaraners by providing foster homes. The funds for the rescue program are
raised through various fundraising events and donations. The Club also provides
public education on the breed and responsible dog ownership.
In establishing our non-profit
organization, we are looking for dedicated Weimaraner owners. Our rescue
program is run strictly on a volunteer basis. Please join this group of
dedicated individuals who are the true heart of the organization by becoming a
member and helping raise funds to rescue our gray friends. We have a dynamic
group that has come together to dedicate time and focus on rescuing dogs through
friendship, fun and fellowship!

Hear our humble prayer, O' God, for our friends the
animals, especially for animals who are suffering; for any that are hunted
or lost or deserted or frightened or hungry; for all that must be put to
death. We entreat for them all thy mercy and pity and for those who deal
with them we ask a heart of compassion gentle hands and kindly words. Make
us ourselves to be true friends to animals and so to share the blessing of
the merciful. - Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965) |
