We are officially looking…
-
…for a new rescue. Won’t be a weim…DH would like to try something “new”. Seamus was not the best calling card for the breed even though we loved him dearly. There are not a lot of weims in Holland/Belgium for adoption. I am just happy we will be able to save an old soul!
Well, both we were looking at fell through. A greyhound male had already been adopted.
I called about a GSP female 10 yrs old who was found as a stray and after 10 minutes with a young girl on the phone from the shelter she turned me down. Wasn’t home enough for this senior dog ( I work until 2pm 4 days a week and one day from home). She kept telling me “this is a hunting dog”, unfortunately she didn’t know what a weim was! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
That just means to perfect rescue is still waiting out there for you. Everything happens for a reason!!

Too bad, i know a very nice male Weim that is looking for a home;) But he is still very young.
How young Inge? I have also seen a 6 yr old weim in Belgium…a bit young for us maybe? The distance would be a problem in getting to know him. Something within an hour drive we could visit a few times before we decide.
Other thing is summer vacation…we are looking for somewhere that Amos could stay for a week twice (July and Sept). That in itself is a big challenge (no kennels). I would hate to just have a new dog and have to take him to a strange place for a week. BUT, I think Amos would benefit from having a buddy with him. If I find a great place they could also go there once a week for the socialization/play and I could work a full day and compensate that time on the other days of the week. Any suggestions for a vacation spot for Amos?
Its so wonderful that you are going to give another rescue a home! You will find the perfect fit! And that is a serious bummer, especially with the GSP. You would be a great home for her. Maybe you could talk to the shelter manager?
Wonderful! You will make one dog very happy and I’m sure well deserved spoiled!
I am shocked the girl did not know what a weim was!!!!

UPDATE!!!!
DH has caved (joke). At the moment there are 3 senior weims in Belgium and I am going to be getting info on them to see if any would be a good match for us. One female and two males. I am leaning towards the female because she is in a foster home which means they would be able to give us a lot of info on her. She is 11 yrs old already, but is listed as pretty fit for her age. Would be a good energy match for Amos (11 at the moment).
There is a male in a shelter (10 yrs old) with no other info online.
There is also a male (8 yrs old) being rehomed by his owner (sound familiar Bas&Mya?) because of lack of time. Would really have to see him because unfortunately some owners don’t always give the whole story.
We always have a new dog evaluated by the trainer we use. She can tell a lot more about character and such than we can. Also always take a new dog to the vet for a look over.
Now….fingers crossed everyone!

This poor old dog is back in the shelter already!
