If you would like to foster one of our dogs that does not
yet have a foster home, please complete the
Foster Home Application, as well as the
Adoption Application (both documents are required in order to
foster) and return via e-mail to
rescue@AtlantaLovesWeims.org.
Please
keep in mind that we have new dogs coming into our program almost
everyday, so if you do not see a dog that would be a perfect match for
your family, please check back often or call one of our Rescue Agents.
See Our
Dogs...
Note:
Our volunteers give up many hours of time to do the work necessary to run this
organization and care for all the Weims that come into our program. Our
resources and manpower often times become very stretched. If we do not
contact you within 24 hours, please give us a call.
Adoption
Process: Once you have completed an adoption application, and
we check vet references, we will then do a phone interview to determine if the
dog that you have an interest in fits the situation. If the dog is a good
match, we will arrange for a home visit and bring the dog (or possibly dogs)
that we feel best fits the potential adopter's lifestyle and
situation. We take into
account fencing situations, lifestyle situations, additional pets already living
in the home and children when matching a dog to a potential adopter's
situation. We reserve the right to decline a home that is not right for a Weimaraner. Remember....Weimaraners are a wonderful and loving breed to
own, BUT...WEIMARANERS ARE NOT FOR EVERYONE!
If the home visit is
approved, then we will ask that you complete an Adoption Contract to finalize
the adoption. We require a contract be signed and an adoption fee of
$175 - Adult dogs (7+ years)
$275 - Adult dogs (1-7 years)
$375 - Puppies less than 1
year (foster to adopt with S/N contract)
If after adopting a dog, the
owner finds that the dog is not a good match or if they cannot keep the dog, the
dog must be returned to the Atlanta Weimaraner Club
Rescue, as stated in the Adoption Contract.
We must
trust ourselves and listen to our doggie friends when deciding which home is
right for them. We must be able to place each dog in loving hands and know
that we have done everything in our power to give the dog the chance it
deserves.

Some of our team of volunteers......we're
growing leaps and bounds! Come along for the ride and join our club and
assist us in saving helpless, unwanted, homeless Weimaraners....

Name: Winston Age: Approx 8 yr Sex:
M
If you think you don't have the time or energy for a young
Weim, Winston would be a great dog for you! Winston was found wandering a country road... He's a gentle boy with children and
adults, but on occasion does have a jealous streak with other dogs, so he would
prefer a one dog home. He loves to take walks and has good stamina (but is also
quick to do his business when let out into the fenced yard.) Winston eats with
vigor, likes to follow you around the house and lay at your feet, and enjoys
having his ears scratched and his neck hugged. He is trustworthy to be left
free in the house for 8 - 10 hours per day and asks for nothing more than to be
loved and fed when you get home! He is a low-maintenance (very little shedding)
dog, and a very loving companion.
Winston is up-to-date on his shots, is neutered and
Heartworm negative.
Won't you give Winston a 'forever' home where he can spend
the rest of his life? Winston is in a foster home.

Name: Bishop Age: Approx 7-8 yr Sex:
M
Bishop is a sweet, gentle Weim that came to rescue from a West GA shelter where he
was found as a stray. Bishop is a big, happy-go-lucky dog that is
up-to-date on his shots, HW- and microchipped. You couldn't ask for a more
laid back big boy that only wants to lay his head in your lap and be loved.
Bishop is not good with cats, fine with children, and one of the most loveable
Weims we've ever met.
Won't you give Bishop a place to lay his head? Bishop is in a foster home.

Name: Mason Age: 3 yr Sex:
M
Mason is a beautiful male, PB Weim that is approx. 3 years old.
Mason came to rescue from a middle Georgia shelter where he was on death row until one of our rescue partners called us to see if we could take him.
Our wonderful volunteer, Cheryl, drove to pick Mason up and found him to be a well-behaved, handsome, low-key boy, although rather thin, who rode well in the car.
Mason is looking for some much needed TLC and even though he's been through so much, he's still wagging his tail. Mason has Heartworms and is intact.
Mason is in a fantastic foster home that will monitor him through
HW treatment and neuter surgery.
Mason has a long road ahead of him, but for now, he is safe.
Mason will remain in his foster home until HW
treatment is complete. 7/9/08: Mason started
heartworm treatment today.
7/14/08: Mason is wonderful with kids
and other dogs, and good with indoor cats. He is crate trained
and housebroken and readily learns basic commands. He is a calm
and sweet companion in the house.
8/15/08: Mason had 2nd stage
heartworm injection treatment today. He's doing well and his
foster home is keeping a careful watch. He is a sweet and loving
dog who is very happy to be included as a family member. He's
gained some weight and is on the road to being a healthy dog after
many difficult challenges.

Name: Smitty Age: 2 yr Sex:
M
Smitty was found in Alabama by a good samaritan.
He was dehydrated and emaciated, but is well on his way to recovery. He

Name: Thisby Age: Approx 5 yr Sex:
M
Thisby was brought
to an Alabama animal shelter by a good Samaritan who found him
wandering in his neighborhood. Many volunteers across 2 states
contributed to get Thisby to our rescue program because they knew he
was such a wonderful dog who deserved a good home. Thisby is a very
handsome, neutered, male, gray Weim who weighs 55 lbs. He gets
along well with other dogs and is very friendly. Thisby would be
fine in a home with a small dog. Unfortunately, Thisby will need to
go through heartworm treatment before he is available for adoption.
Update 8/31/08:
Thisby has done very well with 8-10 other dogs in his temporary
foster home which boards weims awaiting foster and adoption. He’s
gained some needed weight. He is a social dog who will make a great
exercise companion for someone who loves the outdoors. He is
affectionate, and will need a home that will crate him and work
through separation anxiety, which is typical with dogs who have had
so many transitions. AWCR volunteers are always available to help
foster and adoptive homes settle in with their new companion.
Thisby really needs
a home that can give him the comfort and security he needs for 2-3
months so that he can complete his HW treatment, which is funded and
monitored by AWCR. Please
consider Thisby as your next best friend, or as a dog you can help
for a few months so that he can be adopted with a clean bill of
health. We love Thisby and so will you.

Preston is a handsome blue male Weimaraner that came to us from a N. Georgia shelter where he was picked up as a stray.
He is approximately one year old and has a lot of energy (a typical Weim). He gets along well with other dogs, but probably would not be suited for a home with cats.
Preston needs to learn some manners, but appears to be house broken and does well in a crate. He is neutered and is up-to-date on his shots.
