Our rescue is contemplating how we can help weimaraner mixes.  Please let us know whether you would have an interest in adopting a weim mix who was similar in look, size, temperament, coat, etc., i.e., weim/lab, weim/pointer, weim/dobie.

Adoption Fees

A Tri-State rescue volunteer will call you to do an interview as soon as possible. If you have any questions please feel free to contact us at julie@tristatweimrescue.org Completion of this form does not guarantee receipt of a dog.

I hereby certify to the accuracy of the above statements made by me.

I understand that rescue dogs are not perfect.  I will be required to spend a lot of time and energy on my new dog if I expect him to know the rules of my home and to behave well.  It will take several weeks for any rescue dog to become comfortable in his new surrounds and therefore it will be necessary for his new home to be patient with him.  You must not expose him to lots of activity or people until he become comfortable with you.   We know it is exciting to get a new dog and you want to show the dog off to your friends and family, but dogs are unpredictable, to expose a strange dog to strangers or children without fully knowing his temperament is both dangerous and irresponsible and places the dog under undue stress and anxiety.

                                                 I agree with this statement.
