Molly
*AVAILABLE*
Hello, my name is Molly and I’m an eight-year-old Weimaraner. I was rescued in May with one of my pups and my male mate. I have been used for breeding but am now spayed. My tail was docked very short and I had very little human interaction and no exercise. Because of this, I was a short, big girl-but things have changed. I have lost 30+ pounds since I came to my foster home and feel so much better! I am finally playing, as a Weim should. I’m parasite free and on heartworm preventative. All of my vet care is up to date.
Since I have lost weight and have had a chance to exercise, my back has become straighter and my belly muscles are helping get my Weimie figure back. I am still saggy in the belly area, but what old girl isn’t? I absolutely love my treats but need to stick with the veggies-carrots, green beans, etc. to watch my weight.
I love attention from both big and little humans. I love my bed and favorite chair, and sleep much of the time. I will want to lay in your lap (and get my way, hehe!). I also like to trot and explore. I love to go on car and truck rides. I really like to hunt, and I am relentless when I’m on a scent trail. I love going to the pond and creek to explore and swim. I also like rolling in mud, manure, and dead animals that I find in the woods and digging. Because of this I often get baths that I hate-I’ll take disposable dog or horse wipes to clean me up anyday! I like trash cans and can’t resist getting into them so it will be best that the trash can is behind closed doors at my forever home.
I’ve learned a lot since I came to my foster home. I’m officially potty trained. I sit and stay when I’m told in the house, (not so much outdoors where there are things to do but I am good about coming to you when called). I have never been left alone inside the house except with the other Weims. I’m not a chewer and haven’t destroyed anything in the house. I still am improving on the leash.
My foster parents tell me that I’m a good and loving girl. It would be best that I live as an only dog with no other animals-I get fussy with the others. I don’t like cats and other critters; I will do my best to get them regardless of where they are.
I lived in horrible conditions until I was rescued. I would like to be adopted by a family who lives in the country or has a large, fenced yard for me to explore. I want to be the center of attention and I will love you forever. Thank you for reading my bio and I hope to see you soon. I know there is a family out there for me and I am waiting patiently so I can live the rest of my life with them.

Sincerely, Ms. Molly
Hershel
*Available*
Hi I’m Hershel! If anyone has watched the Walking Dead, I was named after that character. I’m a beautiful blue male Weimaraner. I just had my 5th birthday on March 22nd. I originally was an indoor dog but have lived the past few years outside. In the past I did live with other dogs but I was the alpha male. I’m up to date on my vaccinations, heartworm negative and started on prevention, microchipped and neutered. At my foster home I’m an only dog and I really like that. I love having all the attention to myself. I like to play fetch and tug of war with my foster mom and teenage sister. I can get a little mouthy when I play so I probably should not live with little children as that may be taken the wrong way. I have a lot of energy, love going on walks, but also like to cuddle and have my ears rubbed. I’m learning about living in a neighborhood and am curious of all the noises and animals while on my walks but just pause to watch and listen. I am a great leash walker and will stay by your side. I’m curious about human food, but not a stalker or beggar. I’ll usually sniff then go lay down while you eat. I enjoy treats, but can be picky. I’m learning commands such as sit and down. I currently wear belly bands while in the house as I am learning which door to ask to go outside. I was previously housebroke when I lived inside the first few years of my life at my original home. Of course, I hear that anytime a new dog is introduced to a new home, they will make mistakes. You will have to treat me as a 6-week-old puppy in a big body until I learn which door to ask to go out. I’m smart, so it won’t take long. Please be patient with me. I am crate trained and sleep in my crate at night and do not cry. I also can be left alone in the house for short periods of time and be a good boy. I’m excited to find my forever home so we can go on lots of walks and cuddle together.

Nora
Hello, my name is Nora. I am a 3-year-old, gray, female Weimaraner. I arrived at my LWR foster home in March. I am spayed, up to date with vaccines, heartworm negative and started on prevention, microchipped and in good health. I came to the rescue with my father (Hershel) and my mom (Sasha). I did not live indoors at my original home because my human Mom was really sick and couldn’t be around us. I didn’t have much human interaction, but my human Dad did the best he could while working and taking care of our human Mom. My foster parents say that I am very sweet, but terribly shy. For the first few days in my foster home, I would not come near my foster parents. It took me some time to learn to trust them. Now I love to cuddle with my foster Dad while he watches TV and I follow him everywhere he goes. However, I am not quite there yet with my foster Mom, but she is slowly winning me over with delicious treats.I have become very attached to my foster Dad and get very excited when he comes home from work. My full tail wags and I dance around close to him but even then, I will only let him pet me if he does not lean over top of me. This scares me. Once he sits down, I will plant myself right next to him and roll over for belly rubs. I have even started giving kisses now and then. When I arrived at my foster home, I feared my foster parents, the TV, opening/closing doors, appliance noises, neighborhood noises, and many other things. Everything was so new to me. I have made a lot of progress but still get startled easily. Even with people I know, I need to come to them for attention, not the other way around. If they try to come to me, I get scared and run away. When I do get scared my reaction is always to either run and hide or flop down and freeze. I have not shown any signs of aggression. My foster parents have four other dogs. I enjoy being part of the pack and get along fine with all of them. I love to join in with them when they bark or howl and run around the yard. I will need to beseparated from the other dogs to eat as I love my food and do not want anyone else trying to get it. For my forever home I need to find someone with plenty of patience. With everything being new to me I am still working on basic things. If I have access to outside, I always do my business there but if I can’t get out on my own, I am still learning to let someone know I need out to do my business. I really don’t understand this leash thing at all. I have made some progress but often when I am connected to it, I get scared. I try to run but when I realize I can’t get away because of the leash I tend to flop down and become a sack of potatoes. It will take time, but I promise I will be a good girl and a forever friend. Please remember I am 3 years old so it will take me longer than a few months to catch on to everything. I will need a forever home with at least one dog, but no cats. I also will need a home without a lot of chaos so with that being said it should be with no children under 10 years old. I will also need a fenced in yard. My foster parents can tell I have a lot of love to give. It will just take me some time to learn to be comfortable around people and not be so afraid. My foster Mom and Dad believe that I will be a wonderful member of a family that gives me the love and patience I need to get over my fears. Is that you? I know you are out there, and I am here waiting for you. Applications for Nora may be submitted on our website. You will receive a confirmation within 24 hrs. ***Fill in ALL response blanks!
