Adoping from rescue ??
-
So we have been thinking a lot about adding another friend to our pack…We have been looking at the weimaraner & gsp rescue site in Ontario…Does anyone know much about the rescue group & if they transport their rescues to other provinces.We live in NS..Our gsp was a rescue we had since age 9 & our weim we had since 10 weeks from a breeder…
I don’t know anything about those rescues but I am so happy that you want to rescue/adopt again. Good for you!
I have connected with them once I believe. They were very friendly and willing to help. That’s best I got.
If you would need anyone to go check a dog out, I believe they are in Toronto and we live in driving distance.

Thank you that is very kind Mya…I have a brother in Guelph but it would be great to have someone familiar with the breed check out a dog for us…
We are very close to Guelph. It would not be a problem to go and look for you.

How great of you to rescue! I’m sure the rescue org’s are also sometimes overwhelmed, especially since the vols usually do all the work next to a regular job. If you call and speak to someone about a dog you’re interested in, you will be able to tell if they really know enough info about the dog. If not, ask to speak to the foster if there is one, or ask to have the dog evaluated by a pro. We had Amos and Luna evaluated by a trainer we use who is also a behavior specialist. It really gives you a heads up what to do/not to do with a specific dog. Although it’s fun finding out yourself, sometimes for safety of others (dogs and humans) it’s easier to know a bit ahead of time if a dog has some issues. In my experience, most issues can be brought back to a level that they are liveable. And I think it’s good to accept some of the quirks an older dog may have and love them for it!
I talked to them once or twice about a situation and they were very helpful and polite.
