Interested in Adopting an adult Weimaraner?
Interested in finding a Weim for yourself?  Please check the rescue sites.  One site in Texas is the Weimaraner Rescue of North Texas at http://www.weimrescuetexas.org  A rescued Weim is a great way to go.  The dogs really know when they've been saved and you'll see how they change when they get a real home!  You get to miss the "terrible twos" when they are so active, chew and dig.  Just ask owners of rescued dogs.  They become very special pets. 
 
This rescue group has dogs fostered in the Houston area, too.    (The right dog for you is WORTH waiting for and it usually doesn't take long to get a match.  The perfect dog sometimes come up available quickly.)  Thought about fostering one?  Great way to find out if you want a "keeper."  Want the challenge of a puppy?  Well, we get them, too.
 How about fostering a Weim in the Houston area to help out the Texas Weim Rescue Group ?
 
If you could foster a dog, usually a rescue, until it is placed in a permanent home, please let us know.  This is a very rewarding way to help animals and, yet, not be obligated long-term.  It is also a great way to find out if a Weim is the dog you want to adopt. The dog would need to have some open space to run in outdoors and be able to come inside to sleep.

This family adopted a dog at the Rally for Houston Rally at Katy Mills Mall where we had a booth.

 

Reasons to adopt a Rescue Dog:

 

A rescue dog is likely already housebroken and may even have training.

 

Puppies need frequent potty breaks, lots of attention even after midnight.  With a rescue dog you get to sleep all night.

 

Puppys chew, almost everything.  Rescue dogs are usually past that stage.

 

Puppies need frequent trips to the VET and are very susceptible to Parvo and other puppy diseases and parasites.  Rescue dogs are already vaccinated and neutered/spayed.

 

A rescue dog is an instant companion, usually a great match.  What you see is what you get.  No waiting to see what develops. 

 

Rescue dogs KNOW they are in better surroundings and BOND very well with their "rescuer", becoming very affectionate and attentive.  New owners, too, always remember how they "saved" their dog.

 

Rescue dogs are generally high quality, being selectively brought into a rescue organization.  Some are accepted from someone who bought them impulsively from a good breeder without careful consideration of the time and care required of a dog that needs to be with people.
