Not long ago, you were thrilled to have a
Weimaraner puppy of your very own. You never dreamed
that you might
someday have to give him up. Your Weim still
depends on you to do what is best for him, just like
he depended on you when he was a puppy. Now, more
than ever, he needs you to take
the time to consider all of your options and make
the right choice for his future. WEIMARANER
RESCUE helps to find new homes for Weims. Rescuers
are unpaid volunteers with full time jobs and
families to care for, just like you. They usually do
not have kennel facilities nor do they receive
financial help from the government. The cost to care
for rescued Weims comes out of their own pockets and
through the participation of their individual breed
clubs.
Our rescue works with Weims that are given up
for adoption by their owners, with dogs that are
given up to shelters, or with dogs that are picked
up as strays. Shelter dogs are in need of immediate
attention, therefore, private releases (those dogs
who are given up by their owners) are given
secondary importance in the adoption chain. Why?
They already have a home and an
owner - you. Please remember that your
Weimaraner is
your responsibility. Most of the work
that will go into finding him a new, loving,
permanent home is up to you. If your dog came from a
private breeder or individual, your first
course of action should be
to contact that breeder or individual
immediately. Although he or she may not choose to
help you,
there is a moral obligation to do so. Members
of the Weimaraner Club of America agree to this
service when they adhere to the Code of Ethics as
set forward by our parent Club. An ethical,
responsible breeder/fancier will want to help you
and has a right to know what is about to happen to
the dog that he or she brought into this world.
Finding a new home will not be quick
or easy - it takes patience and hard work.
We do ask for a small $30.00
relinquishment fee to help us offset our
phone and advertising
charges; however, we appreciate any
additional contribution you may be able to make.
