Molly
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

Kenzie
Hello, my name is Kenzie. I am estimated to be 5-6 years of age. I am an 80 lbs, gray female who is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, heartworm negative and on prevention. My foster Mom thinks that I look like I’ve had a hard life. Of course, I think I’m beautiful and I have left the past behind. I was left alone in my home after my previous owner went to pokey. I hear that it wasn’t a good house to be in. A nice neighbor asked a lady in town who rescues Golden Retrievers, if she could come get me. She contacted LWR and here I am. My foster family says I am a “unicorn” Weim. I get along with everyone and everything. I love when the little grandson comes to visit. I get so excited. My foster family has cats, chickens, sheep, and goats. There are also five other big fur dog friends here. We get along fine. I like to lounge around on the couch like I’m a queen. I also love for my humans to love on me. I do moan a lot but I’m not hurting, just wanting some love. My foster Mom says I’m quite vocal. I bark at things that come up on the front porch when I can see them through the screen door. Sometimes there is nothing there, but the other dogs bark, so I join. I do have arthritis in my hips and some in my back. But I take some supplements and they are helping. I love meal time and I’ve never shown any aggression. I have a couple skin tags that the vet wants to keep an eye on. I hear my foster Mom tell people that I am the easiest dog ever. I’m never in the way and I don’t expect much other than food, water and love. I don’t chew things, and I am housebroke. If you’re looking for a furry couch potato I’m your girl (you can call me queen). If you can open your home up to me I promise you won’t regret it. I am no trouble at all. Thank you for considering and hope to see you soon!

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!

Scout
My name is Scout and I am a WONDER WEIM. I am a fun loving 4-year- old, blue, neutered male around 80 pounds and fully vetted. I am a WONDER because at 4 years old I have middle energy, excellent on a leash if you use a gentle leader, love riding in the car, and I’m very smart. I am crate trained but bark a bit at first. I can even be left loose in the house for short periods of time. I don’t jump on people, but I will lean on you to get my head petted. I even bring the ball back to you when I play fetch! I love to play with other dogs and really want to have a playmate in my forever home. However, I have been a single dog and I’m fine with that too. My family is having a third tiny human soon and couldn’t give me the time I need as a young Weim so they contacted LWR. I loved the 1- and 3-year-old tiny humans in my family and was very good with them.
When I was two, I had an accident that needed surgery on my neck. I am completely fine now and my foster family can give you the details. The only thing I need is to never have a leash attached to my flat collar. I will need to be walked with a harness or gentle leader. I am on medication to help with anxiety, but my foster home is currently weaning me off that. They will keep me on a lower dose until I am adopted. I currently eat Purina Pro Plan for sensitive stomach.
When I arrived at my foster home I was a little uncertain, but after a few days I was very comfortable. I have a 4-legged foster Weim sister and lots of room to hang outside. I love to roll in the grass, and smell everywhere outside. I get to watch my foster Dad work in the garden and love to keep him company. I do have a bit of prey drive in me and really like to watch the birds flying around. Not sure about cats, but I would say no to them. I have many toys and love to pull out the items put inside them for my entertainment. I am working on giving them up to a human. Of course sometimes I like to just shred them and get those squeakers out! I use a slow bowl to eat and that comes with me, along with my crate, beds and toys. I know sit and kennel up, but am willing to learn more commands. I am being fostered in Southern Ohio. I am ready to find my forever home and make new best friends. Are you ready for all my love? Please complete an adoption application on LWR’s website, louisvilleweimrescue.com, and one of the nice LWR volunteers will be in touch to tell you more about me.
