If
you are interested in adopting Opal and Bo, please fill out an adoption
application, or send us an email if we have a recent application of
yours on file.
Opal
weighs only 40 pounds and is about 1 year old. While it's possible she
could grow more she will be a "pocket Weim". Bo weighs about 60 pounds
and he is about 2 years old. They both have pretty, silky coats, are at
healthy weights, had good vet checks and will simply melt your heart.
Opal
and Bo get along really well. They enjoy doing things together but they
do fine when one goes on a walk without the other. So while keeping
them together is our plan, if we are not able to find an ideal home, we
will announce their availability for adoption as individuals. They are spayed/neutered, current on vaccines, and microchipped. They
were picked up as strays so we do not know anything about their past.
While they’ve responded well to children in various settings, we do not
know if they’ve lived with them, so kids in the home should be about age
10 or older. They both want to chase squirrels and Bo has a keen
interest in cats; he even considered chasing a cat that was on the TV
(LOL)! So no cats or small animals in the home/yard for these two.

We
asked their foster parents for “a paragraph or two” for the bio and
received a couple pages - haha! They are very committed foster parents
who adore Opal and Bo and want the very best for them! This what they
want you to know:
As
with all Weims they should go to active homes who understand the breed.
They are high energy and really do love their walks. They run and run
in the backyard chasing each other and enjoyed a couple of separate
light runs next to their foster mom.
Both
are crate trained, though Opal sometimes asks to be let out during the
night to go potty (or so she says ;)). They’ve been left at home in
their crates a few times (max 3 hrs) and they whine and bark at first
but eventually settle. They do not resource guard toys or food between
each other nor with people. You can inspect both dogs’ paws, ears,
mouth, etc without any issues.
They
like going for car rides but when one gets excited about something
outside, so does the other! Similarly, they feed off each other’s energy
on leash walks and will react when they see other dogs. With more time,
exposure and training this will change as they’ve improved already and
in a short time. For now, they are walked separately and are both
excellent with the heel command. Walking them individually on the trail
or at a busy local marina is a joy.
Opal
and Bo love being with people and want to be near you pretty much at
all times (bathroom included). When people knock at the door they do not
bark, instead they come with you to see who is at the door. They are
very friendly with new people, no matter the situation or whether the
person is big or small, in the house or in public.
They
are super smart and really eager to learn things. They are getting
pretty good at basic commands including waiting at the door until told
it’s okay to pass through and they are working on "leave it" to keep
them from getting into things at the house and reduces distractions when
out walking.
Bo:
Bo is a really sweet boy who loves to cuddle in the morning. He is
generally a pretty relaxed dog around the house, but welcomes any
wrestling and chasing when Opal wants to play. He very sweetly will get
up from his dog bed to come say hello and get a few pets before laying
back down. It’s pretty adorable. When he isn’t relaxing he likes to
carry around his favorite toy. He is a gentleman.
Opal:
Opal is a little cutie pie. She is a bit behind Bo in learning commands
and is learning it’s not okay to jump up and put her front paws on
people when she wants to say Hi. She doesn’t seem to do this with
toddlers and kids, just tall adults. She still has a lot of puppy energy
and is usually the one that starts any play. She is pretty good about
bringing the ball back when playing fetch. She has unlimited fetch
energy! Opal needs Kong toys, otherwise her toys won’t last long.
