lots of patience and training to reach my full potential. If you're
ready for the adventure, come meet me!!

I'm a 4-month-old male pup who loves to play and explore! I might seem a
bit timid in my kennel, but once I'm out, I'm all about fun and games.

will guide me with love and understanding. Raising a puppy is a big
commitment, but with the right family, I know I can grow into the best
dog I can be!

adventures. I'm eager to learn and grow, but I'll need a family who
understands that raising a puppy is a lifelong journey filled with love,
laughter, and lots of training. Come meet me and let's start our

Benji has a poor kennel presence (he is scared) but he is so different when taken out, is mellow, and loves chasing the ball.
"Omg, I LOVE this dog!! He is so curious and mellow when out walking, then he’ll start jumping around wanted to engage. He is smart and sweet, and gorgeous!! And those ears? My goodness. He’s definitely a catch. " MCAS volunteer (mcas fb)

Benji is a sweet and gentle 4-year-old Labrador Retriever mix looking for a patient and understanding family to call his own. He can be a bit shy and fearful at first, especially in new situations, but once he warms up to you, he'll be your best friend for life! He's very treat-motivated, which makes training a breeze. Benji loves to play fetch and tug-of-war, especially with his favorite tennis ball! Due to his timid nature, Benji would do best in a quiet adult-only home with a securely fenced yard where he can relax and feel safe. He has shown to be dog-tolerant but would need slow and careful introductions to any potential furry siblings. With a little love and patience, Benji will blossom into the most loyal and loving companion. If you think you can give Benji the loving home he deserves, please come meet him today!!

Fancy is a great dog! She is feeling a bit stressed in the kennels Note: German Shorthaired Pointers are a very active breed and do best in homes where they can safely get off leash exercise. (many owners use "tracker collars"once the dog has been trained well at recall. GSPs also are known to be "velcro dogs" and seek closeness with their people.

Say hello to Cabella, a sweet young Australian Shepherd mix who's ready to find her forever home! This gentle girl is a little shy and unsure of the world around her, but with a patient and loving home, we know she'll blossom into a confident companion. Cabella came to us as a stray, so we're still getting to know her. It's clear she needs adopters who understand that it takes time to build trust. Slow introductions, a calm environment, and plenty of positive reinforcement will help her see that life can be full of joy, not just scary noises and unfamiliar faces. If you're looking for a loyal companion to join you on life's adventures and you have the patience and compassion to help a shy girl find her confidence, Cabella might be the perfect dog for you!

"ZIGGY" is Available for adoption at OREGON WEIMARANER RESCUE
neutered male Silver LAB, 1.5 yr, 75 lbs
adoption fee $200
BELIEVED COMPATIBILITY WITH:
CHILDREN: 11+ dog savvy
CATS: No
DOGS: See bio
FROM OWNER:
About one year ago Ziggy was discovered roaming the woods 10 miles from our rural home. He had no collar or microchip and was extremely malnourished and very shy when it came to people. For over a month, myself, friends and other neighbors attempted to catch him. Some elderly neighbors nearby were eventually able to catch him in a kennel with food and house him in their horse barn for the winter. Upon realizing they could not continue to care for him in February of 2024, the elderly couple asked if we could take him in. Despite having limited space and a large dog and cat already, we took him in. We knew we could not keep him long term but we also knew our local shelters were overcrowded, and that because he was not socialized at that time, he would not be easily adoptable in the shelter environment. So, we brought him to our home to foster him. In fostering him, we hoped to be able to help him grow and flourish and to give him a fighting chance at finding a lasting forever home. We have grown to love his fun personality and think he is a truly amazing dog who is well worth the investment we made and feel the time is now right for Ziggy to find his true forever home.
Ziggy is an energetic and very playful male Silver Lab who is approximately 1.5 years old, 75 lbs, neutered (recently) and up to date on his rabies vaccine. He absolutely loves playing fetch and can be a total goofball when it's playtime….which he would love to be all the time :) He loves to bring the ball back to you and then roll around on his back with it before you throw it again. He is very smart, observant and has quickly learned basic commands (Sit, lay down, off, and come is about 50/50 but he does know what it means). We have worked really hard on threshold training (making him 'wait' at doors, gates, car doors etc.) with him and he is doing great. His leash-walking skills have come a long way though they could still use some fine tuning. We believe his beautiful blue/green eyes are his best attribute, they will really melt your heart!
Ziggy would do best in a home where there are calm, patient people who have prior dog experience and can offer him loving leadership. Movement is Ziggy's love language. He needs a home where the humans are active everyday! This guy loves to play fetch, hike, go for runs and is an avid swimmer. We have paddle-boarded with him and he has even pulled a skateboarder and biked alongside us for exercise. Ziggy has been living with a female Great Pyrenees and a cat. He should not live in a home with cats moving forward. He might be able to live with one other dog (non-dominant female would be best) if properly introduced. We believe Ziggy would do really well with crate training because he would like to have his own cozy space, especially if he is living with another dog. We do not have the space to crate train him but we know he would benefit from it and learn quickly.
Unfortunately, a lot of his past is unknown and we believe Ziggy was likely mis-treated and did not get proper nutrition in his first year of life. Ziggy has been able to build a lot of confidence during the course of his time with us but he would benefit from even further socialization and introduction to diverse environments. Warming to new people can be challenging for him but he has really loved meeting the vet and staff at our vet's office which is a great recent sign. When he first came into our home he, unsurprisingly given his past, guarded his water and food closely…he would clearly vocalize that he did not want anyone threatening his food/water but we spent a good deal of time hand feeding and working on resource guarding so these behaviors have largely subsided with the rare exception of his water bowl which he will occasionally still “guard” but its pretty random when that occurs. Because Ziggy loves food so much, he does really well with treat training and being rewarded with small treats is an absolute delight for him. He is pretty independent and really thrives on a consistent daily routine. He is still a bit of a shy guy who can sometimes get overwhelmed around loud noises (predominantly loud music and truck noises) or if there is too much pressure/attention on him. Aside from some sporadic skin issues which neutering/diet have seemed to clear up, our vet says he is in perfect health, shows no signs of early hip-dysplasia and has beautiful teeth.
Ziggy has outgrown the environment and care that we can provide for him. He is ready for someone to open their hearts and provide his forever home.
FROM OWR:
Ziggy has been introduced to older dog savvy children and was fine, but between his puppy exuberance and lack of experience we don’t think Ziggy would thrive in a home with young children (11+ and dog savvy should be fine). Ziggy likes other dogs but does not have a ton of experience with them so an ideal buddy, if any, would be a well adjusted easy going medium/large breed. Ziggy is not currently microchipped but we will supply one to his new owners. Ziggy is a total outdoorsy dog who would do very well with a person who hikes, bikes, boats and/or generally enjoys spending time outdoors. On a final note, Ziggy is a great passenger in vehicles where he stays in the back seat and hangs out.
If Ziggy sounds like he may be the perfect fit for you, please submit an application below

Ginger, our 49 pound 9 year old pitty mix, has never met a stuffy she didn't love. And if there are no stuffed toys available? Ginger will happily hold a ball, a stick, a frisbee...any object that can be thrown. So it was pretty tough on Ginger when she was healing from her dental surgery and couldn't hold anything. Now that this charmer is healed, she can't wait for a basket of toys in her own home.

Zara is a sweet girl looking for a patient and understanding home. She can be a bit hesitant and unsure in new situations and new people, but with a little time and encouragement, she blossoms into a loving companion. Once she has made your acquaintance, Zara loves to be petted and will happily lean into you for affection. She's also quite playful and enjoys exploring on her walks. Zara is very treat-motivated and eager to please, which will make training a rewarding experience. An active lifestyle would be perfect for her, as she loves to go for walks and explore. However, she can also be a bit sensitive to noise and commotion, so a calmer home and low traffic environment would be ideal. Despite these small challenges, Zara is a wonderful dog who is waiting for the right family to come along. If you're looking for a loyal and affectionate companion who will bring joy to your life, consider opening your heart and home to Zara.
