"BO" is Available for adoption at OREGON WEIMARANER RESCUE
MEET: Bo -Weimaraner (mix?) sweet, tall and lanky
BELIEVED COMPATIBILITY WITH:
CHILDREN: Yes age 9+
CATS: No
DOGS: Yes (see bio)
IF you submitted an application or an email of interest regarding just Bo or Opal, we will move your application to that dog’s file for review and consideration.
Mr. Bo:
Bo is amazing! He is sweet, gentle, smart, fun, and happy to meet you.
Bo is
about two years old, recently neutered, microchipped, up to date on
vaccines and weighs about 60lbs. He is house trained, crate trained,
good with the heel command and knows “Sit”, “Down”, “Touch”, and is
learning “Wait” (at the door) and “Leave It”. Bo loves meeting new
people in the home and in public, and has met youngsters and was not
alarmed. He doesn’t guard toys or food from people or his dog mate, and
you can pick him up, touch his ears, mouth or tail and he does not care.
He is quiet in the home and calmly joins his person at the door when
someone knocks (keep your alarm system!) When he’s had enough of
napping, he walks around with a toy in his mouth or comes over to say Hi
then goes back to napping. But be assured, whatever room you are in, Bo
is with you.
Bo is young and active and likes to burn energy! He enjoys wrestling
with his dog mate, playing fetch and going on walks and runs with his
person. He is also very into chasing squirrels and would chase a cat if
he had the opportunity (sorry, no cats or small yard animals for this
guy).
When Bo
got home from the shelter, his foster parents noticed immediately that
he is good with people, easy going around the house, a cuddle bug, and
at times, very playful. But he also came to us unsure and unfamiliar
with the big outdoors and could be overly cautious and fearful of a lot
of things (cars pulling out of driveways, other dogs, different walking
surfaces, etc.). But with daily training sessions, time to adjust, and
trust in his people he has made incredible progress!! Bo will
undoubtedly come upon some new scary things and will look to his person
to lead the way, but we are comfortable in knowing just what he will
need in his new home to be a happy dog.
Bo will do best in a home with a dog companion. A well behaved and easy
going dog for Bo to follow and learn from would be amazing. If his new
companion likes to play, that’s a bonus! Bo enjoys wrestling with his
dog mate, running in the yard and competing in Fetch!. Bo recently met a
male Weimaraner and after some time on leash, walking and getting to
know each other, they played in the yard. So a male or female dog with a
proper introduction could be a match.
Bo also needs a person/people who are his calm and confident leaders.
Experience with the Weimaraner breed is helpful, but as important is
having the time and desire to continue with Bo’s daily exercise and
training (nothing complicated, just asking him for something and
rewarding him for following the command - repeat :-)).
While Bo has met children and is very good with them, we do not
recommend little kids (under age 9) in the home due to having no history
of Bo living with children.
If you are interested in adopting Bo, please submit an application, or
let us know of your interest and that you have an application on file.

===============================================
Meet Opal and Bo! The sweetest friends you will ever meet.
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.
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.
OPAL
BO
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.
