"TILLIE" pretty BLUE WEIMARANER" OREGON WEIM RESCUE"

 

"TILLIE" is Available for adoption at OREGON WEIMARANER RESCUE

MEET:TILLIE

 foster home, current  Location: Everett, WA
 
4 yrs old, female 70 lb  adoption fee $400

BELIEVED COMPATIBILITY WITH:

CHILDREN:  Yes, Age 15+

CATS:  Unknown

DOGS:  Yes but small dogs are unknown. 

Meet Tillie! This pretty girl is a 4 y/o Blue Weimaraner. She was bred in Wisconsin, is AKC registered and traveled to her current home in Washington as a puppy. Her people love her and enjoy their quiet, snuggly time together. The problem is, Tillie craves physical and mental activity; it’s a must for her and something that her people cannot provide at this stage in their lives. 

 

 Tillie loves food and attention (perfect for training). She will watch her mom cook while sitting calmly nearby, hopeful something will drop. But she does not get underfoot. She is also a very good traveler - she loves car rides and gets so excited, but she quickly settles and lies down for the ride. She enjoys going on walks and in her exuberance will pull on leash but is otherwise well behaved and is not reactive when she sees other dogs and people. And while she wasn’t a big fan of swimming in a lake, she enjoys (yes, enjoys) baths and showers. She can be a silly stinker, she will race to the couch to get the best spot - your spot!  But is very good about moving to her blanket when she is told (she has to try!)    

But with Tillie’s built up energy and her 70 pounds of love, she can be too much for an unguarded older person or kids. She will jump up for attention and sometimes accidentally knocks into people when running through the house. She can get so excited that she’ll grab socks, a dish towel, paper towels, whatever she can reach and then refuse to let you take it from her. And she is not fully crate trained because she was adamant as a youngster that it was not for her and she won that battle (she will tolerate the crate for a short time; she mostly barks and whines for a while and gives up). All this to say she is not perfect but very close to being so! 


Tillie’s current favorite things are spending time with people, trotting around with dogs friends,  and most of all, playing with a Chuck It ball! She will run and return over and over, though she will not always drop the ball.  She makes up her own rules. Tillie is good with other dogs and enjoys hanging out with them in the yard when the family gets together. She has not met a small dog or a cat. 

Tillie is a wonderful girl and so close to having all she needs to thrive. She would do well with a dog companion (she has some separation anxiety and likes to keep busy so a dog buddy would be wonderful) and someone that is home a lot.  And we’ll say it again, she needs exercise (hikes, runs, walks, adventures!) and consistent leadership. 


Tillie is in good health, current on vaccines, microchipped and spayed. She will celebrate her 5th birthday in May.  
 

If you are interested in giving Tillie a home meant for her best life, please submit an adoption application. 



 

 


"LEO" 6 month Blue WEIMARANER PUPPY "OREGON WEIM RESCUE"

  "LEO" is Available for adoption at OREGON WEIMARANER RESCUE

MEET: LEO

 foster home, current  Location: Portland,OR   $400
 6 months 50 lbs and growing, male  **see notes below

BELIEVED COMPATIBILITY WITH:

CHILDREN:  yes - sturdy ideal

CATS:  maybe

DOGS:  Yes 

Leo is a handsome and busy 6 month old ~50# male blue puppy looking for a loving home to call his own. This affectionate boy is current on his vaccines, microchipped and healthy. Leo is wire crate trained (naps and nights), food motivated and very friendly. Although still very much a puppy he responds quite reliably to basic commands including "come" "sit" and "crate". Potty training is ongoing but he is doing very well on this front and we have only had one or two tinkle accidents in front of the door. He is absolutely just now coming into his super puppy powers so providing him numerous appropriate chew toys is a necessity for everyone to be happy...his favorite game is for us to put all of the dog toys into a bucket so that he can dump them out and find 'the one' that needs to be chewed.


 He is fostered alongside several adult weimaraners and does great with them though his puppy exuberance can be a bit much for the more relaxed of the bunch :) At 6 months of age he is very much spatially unaware and coordination is not his strongest suit as he can often be found tripped up by things like vacuum cords lol. He is being well socialized and has now been to the woods where he encountered all which that brings including a stream (which definitely confounded him at first but after watching the other dogs he discovered how to navigate just fine), he has also been to the deep snow (which he thoroughly enjoyed) and he rides well in vehicles. Although a voracious eater he is not food possessive at this time and has no issue being fed alongside the other dogs except that he will try to hoover his food down and move on to the other bowls if unchecked. Other tidbits include that he is very friendly and snuggly, bathes well and has no particular issue with being inspected and handled (though this frequently turns into him wanting to play).



If you have the time/lifestyle required to dedicate to a puppy and are looking for a very outgoing young dog to accompany you on your outdoor adventures, consider submitting an application to adopt Mr Leo below.

If Leo is more than you wish to bite off, consider taking a look at calm and demure Greta who is absolutely lovely and has none of the chaos of a puppy :)






***Leo is at this time intact. Oregon Weimaraner Rescue supports waiting to spay/neuter large breed dogs until after the first reproductive cycle for females and/or at 18 months of age to allow a reasonable opportunity for growth plates to fully close. It will be a contractual requirement of adoption that, at owner's sole expense, he be neutered by 19 months of age***

"GRETA" lovely *TRIPOD** WEIMARANER" OREGON WEIM RESCUE"

 "GrETA" is Available for adoption at OREGON WEIMARANER RESCUE

MEET: Greta 

 foster home, current  Location: Tigard,OR
 
GRETA is looking for patient loving home:
4 yrs old, female 68 lb

BELIEVED COMPATIBILITY WITH:

CHILDREN:  Teen +  (9yr old entering the room sent her running to her crate, but...?)

CATS:  No

DOGS:  Yes 

Are you looking to become an accessory to a Weimaraner on what could currently be mistaken for your couch? Well if so, look no further than this ~4 year old female who would love to take over your comfy spaces and claim them as her own. Greta's best life is hanging out with her owners and relaxing...although she is a tripawd doggo who does love the occasional high speed sprint around the property, she really would prefer to remain in the lap of luxurious heated indoor spaces soaking up affection in-between her morning and evening meal service...which will be on time lest her human servants receive a talking to.

 

Greta came into our care from rather unfortunate circumstances where she was being used for breeding stock and otherwise ignored (when we took her in she possessed no discernible traditional training or connection to her name and had obvious health issues to address). While facts of her past are light and inferences are many, the details we share will focus primarily on our lived experience with her as a foster dog. 

This lovely, young, 68# lady is now healthy, microchipped, happy and up to date on her rabies vaccine. Ms Greta has undergone a monumental transition in lifestyle over the course of the last two months she has been in our care. Most significant of those changes is that she was fully integrated as a part of day to day family life and not secluded from it. She has shown herself to be an excellent companion to the other two Weimaraners who reside alongside her and she has no problem at all curling up with any combination of the male/female duo on the couch. She has displayed no food or resource guarding behaviors and the trio of doggos will frequently play musical bowls at mealtime. Greta has a very soft mouth when being given treats and when snagging an opportunistic taste of an unattended plate (I suppose I was done with that ice cream anyway). While Greta is great with dogs, she definitely has a strong instinct to follow her nose and will diligently track the routes of any furry intruders to the yard so no cats or small furry critters in the home for this gal.

When it comes to people, Greta's approach is evolving but her basic stance is that everyone is to be cautiously avoided except for those which have shown kindness, love and affection towards her. Once she has accepted you as a 'friendly', a process which may take from 10 minutes to a couple days, then you may engage in any type of physical inspecting/laying on/handling/snuggling/rubbing/petting which you desire, but before your having been accepted she simply will not give you the time of day and no amount of cajoling seems to change this default position of hers. Greta has shown not an ounce of anything resembling aggression and her defacto response when encountering the unknown is to, if anything, avoid it and retreat to safety. This behavior is understandable given that we believe this girl had never left the property of her original owners until entering our care so she is only now learning, slowly, that the world is not necessarily a scary place. While she is being socialized more each day, she ultimately wants to be a homebody giving and receiving affection to her people.

Greta is certainly comfortable with wire crates and has learned that sleeping in one at night is not a problem because her attentive caretakers will let her out if she alerts to go potty. Leash skills are improving but she would likely benefit from a gentle leader as she likes to pull and is quite strong. Commands include responding to her name (which was untrue upon her arrival), come, no, off , potty and crate. Potty training has been aided by the presence of other dogs because she arrived with no training to alert at all and we have found that she is far more likely to run outside with the other dogs than on her own (she is definitely a bit of a diva who will stick her head outside and say "it's too cold, I'll stay in"). We are happy to report that at this time accidents in the home are few and far between but we monitor her behaviors and if we see any sign that she may need out, we send her out (we are working on bell training currently).
Other bits: She bathes easily. No sensitivity to touch anywhere. Being a tripawd dog doesn't slow her down at all. Fenced yard is non-negotiable. In the home and in the yard she has displayed no destructive behaviors and although far from a voracious chewer, she does occasionally like to gnaw a bone or antler. Fetch does not seem to be her thing but she likes to play a bit of chase with the other dogs when she feels like it. Patience mixed with prior experience will be needed for Greta's continued growth as she has come leaps and bounds from where she started but she is still an evolving creature which we want to continue nurturing.

If you live a fairly quiet life, do not have too many stairs, and are looking for a deeply loving and appreciative companion, Greta may very well be your gal.



***Greta is still intact due to a number of scheduling considerations during her time with us but OWR will work with her adopter to timely schedule her spay surgery and cover up to $800 of cost.

Once she knows she's safe, she she is sure to transform into a total lean-on-you lover who wants to be you best friend. 🐾✨ Petunia is still very much a teenager in a big body, and since she likely spent her early months focused on growing, she's looking for a patient partner to help her brush up on her basic training. 🎾📚 She is eager to please and highly motivated by affection (and the occasional treat!), making her a star pupil for someone willing to show her the ropes.

Two walks a day keep him perfectly content, with bonus joy coming from soccer balls, Chuck-It games, and running the fence line at the dog park. Leash, Training & Manners He walks nicely on a slip leash and continues to improve with practice. While there can be a bit of pulling at times, it's minimal and gets better with consistency. He is fully potty trained and has excellent house manners. Commands he knows: Sit, Down, Stay, Shake, Speak, Twirl, Crawl, Place, Leave It, Off, Up Social Skills He enjoys greeting dogs through the fence at the dog park and shows relaxed, appropriate body language.

 He would likely do best with slow, thoughtful dog introductions and may be dog-selective. People absolutely adore him. He has met several workmen in the home, all of whom commented on what a great dog he is. Home Environment When new guests arrive, he does best when asked to stay in his "place" until invited to greet. He's affectionate and enthusiastic and may try to give a full-body hello if allowed. When excited or experiencing zoomies, he can bump into people unintentionally. Because of his strength and exuberance, he would thrive in a home without children under 12 and without individuals who are frail or have balance concerns.
 

 He is a hunk of wiggly love, but that doesn't include gracefulness! Ideal Match He's looking for a confident, strong adopter who understands bully breeds and is committed to reinforcing his excellent progress. In return, you'll get a loyal, loving companion who proudly represents his breed and fills your home with warmth, goofiness, and heart. A true breed ambassador, ready for his forever home. 🐶💛
