SEE ANNIE'S STORY
ANNABELLE, 4.5 y/o female Weimaraner. This very sweet, reserved girl is in
need of a forever home where she will get a lot of love and encouragement.  She came
to us very shy, but has made great improvement while going to work with her foster
parents every day.  She is submissive and gets along with all other dogs.  She is
having fun in her foster home, playing with a very active male Weimaraner.   
Annabelle came to NCWR after having had an altercation with a little dog, but she
has since met and ignored several small dogs, so initial supervision after a proper
introduction is best.   No cats due to her prey drive.  She will be a wonderful
companion who enjoys going on long hikes, has excellent recall and is good around
horses.  Annabelle is very gentle and an easy Weimaraner to care for.  She loves to
lay in the sun, go on car rides, hang around her people, and take baths!  When she
hears the shower, she trots right in as if it were running for her.  Annabelle is
spayed, current on shots and getting in better shape with long off-leash runs every
day.   In  Woodside.  Contact norcalweimrescue@yahoo.com or 925-385-5275.
CHESTER, approx. 2 y/o male Weimaraner.  Chester is a big fella, despite the need
to put some weight on.  He has long legs with adorably pronounced paws; he is very
hugable!  Chester is an active, young Weimaraner who loves to play with other dogs!   
He also likes people very much and will lean on, or snuggle up to his person.  He will roll
on his back for belly rubs one minute, and back on his feet sniffing the ground, the next!
 Chester is very curious about the world and at the same time, will make a wonderful
couch companion.   This is an all around entertaining, loving Weimaraner.  He will
give and give, but he does need one thing - a dog companion to keep him company when
his people are gone.  Chester does not like being alone.  And he is not crate trained (does
not care to be in one.)  Chester is good on leash and is learning basic commands.  He will
be a fun dog to take home and train, due to his curiosity about most everything going
on around him.  No Cats!    Chester is current on vaccines and neutered.  In Modesto.

.
RAVI, 8 y/o male Weimaraner. Ravi is a sweet, loving senior Weimaraner in need of a new
home.  He has been with his family since he was a pup, and was raised with children.  Ravi  
tolerates all the climbing, ear pulling, running and noise that children tend to bring into the
relationship.  He has been raised with excellent care, support and love but his family travels for
business and find they are boarding him way too much.  Ravi gets along wonderfully with all
dogs, having spent a few days a week at an open-kennel boarding facility the last several years.  
He will chase cats, however!  Ravi has had a very supportive and attentive upbringing; he
loves his crate and will go in and out as he pleases to take naps. Ravi knows all the basic
commands and a few extras the family has taught him.  Ravi is house trained and is
accustomed to using a dog door - owner will donate theirs if needed - it fits standard sliding glass
door.  Ravi needs a daily medication to keep a rash at bay; veterinarians disagree on the cause,
but one found the ideal medication for him, and it costs around $30/month (owner will pay for
first six months of medication.)  Ravi is a wonderful dog who will make one person, or a very
large family very happy!   Ravi is current on all vaccines, neutered and on heart worm
preventative. Contact norcalweimrescue@yahoo.com or 925-385-5275.
MACY, 3 y/o female blue Weimaraner.  This petite girl has a little brown on her nose and might have a little
Lab or Cattahoula in her bloodline.  She has a beautiful coat and an adorable face; she is just precious.  Macy
LOVES being with people!  She likes to cuddle, and when her person is moving from room to room, so is she.  She
is what one calls a "Velcro dog".  Macy adores, and seems comforted by children.  She is protective of the house
and the car, and will bark intensely, but stops with a correction.  Like all Weimaraners, Macy has energy to
burn, and enjoys going to the dog park and on dog walks!  She recently met several new dogs, big and small,
and even some puppies at a new dog park and she had a great time!   This very sweet girl needs a home to call
her own, and will enjoy the company of another dog, but she will want all the attention from her people.  So the
dog companion needs to be an independent, not so needy.  Macy chases cats.   She responds very well to training
as she likes to please!  She does best with a person who is easy going and confident, so she feels save.  Macy is
improving with her leash manners and learning basic commands.  She is house trained, spayed, and current
on rabies. In Orangevale (Sacramento area).  Contact norcalweimrescue@yahoo.com or 925-385-5275.

FEATURED DOG
JUNIOR, 1.5 y/o male Weimaraner. This petite Weimaraner is an
easy keeper! He gets very excited when he sees birds, but otherwise
he is pretty calm. Junior sleeps through the night on his dog bed, but
could be crate trained quickly (he rode in a crate in the car for the
first time for three hours, when he was surrendered to NCWR. No
barking, just waited to see where he was going. Junior has an
adorable prance and is very alert when on walks. He needs to learn to
heel when on leash as he is all over the place, but does listen to his
leader and learns new rules quickly. Junior gets along with other
dogs, large and small. Junior was not around cats, and has met one so
far without any trouble, but he does have a prey drive, so supervision
with a cat is recommended. He is current on shots and neutered. In
Manteca. Contact norcalweimrescue@yahoo.com or 925-385-5275.
ZENA, 4 y/o female Weimaraner. Zena has been rehomed twice due to people moving,
and the nice man who recently took her in, did not realize she needed a fence to keep her
safe, and he cannot install one.  So, Zena needs a forever home and it will be her fourth.   
Zena likes people, but she REALLY likes men. She will follow her person from room to room
and lay by his/her side. She sleeps quietly on her dog bed on the floor at night.   She just
learned not to come in the kitchen and stops at country roads before crossing off leash, so
training her comes easily with time.  She loves car rides and loves to play “I’ve got the ball
and see if you can get it from me”.  Zena has a sweet nature, but is protective of her food.  
She will growl at anyone (dog or human) who bothers her while she is eating, but is
chummy the rest of the time. While we are working on this behavior, she needs a person
who will be diligent,  understanding and consistent with her training.  She will do fine in a
home with or without other dogs, but needs someone to keep her company if her person is
not home full time.  This pretty girl is ready to learn all about obedience and stability in a
forever home!  Zena is spayed and current on rabies vaccine. In Durham (Chico area).

JAKEY, approx. 2 y/r old male Weimaraner. Jakey is a special dog with special needs. When evaluated at the
shelter, we did not see that he had never been introduced to the big outdoors (at least not properly), nor given any
rules and boundaries, or time for confidence building. When he was adopted shortly after NCWR rescued him, the
family discovered the hidden side of Jakey.  Jakey gets over stimulated by sights and sounds when outdoors, and
sometimes when looking out the living room window at dogs passing by. He reacts by whining, pacing and crying.  
His condition is improving A LOT because he is in a foster home with a couple that is determined to make a
difference for Jakey.  His foster parents are working one-on-one with a professional trainer, and Jakey is starting to
react less to outside stimulation.  But he will need a lifetime of practice and redirection of energy with rewards (he
loves treats!)  Fortunately, Jakey has shown a willingness to learn and change.

To be sure Jakey is successful in his next forever home, we are looking for a patient, committed companion for
Jakey. One who is willing to establish rules and expect Jakey to follow them - always.  And, he really likes affection
and needs to have closeness with a person or people.  Jakey will require daily training sessions of 15 - 30 minutes to
reinforce calmness when confronted with movement and noises outside.  He also must be exercised every day;
walking and running outdoors and/or the use of a treadmill (he is trained!)  Jakey's foster parents will hand over
what they've learned from the trainer, and NCWR will cover the cost for two sessions with his trainer (adopter must
be willing to drive to the Morgan Hill area and attend training).

Jakey is very sweet, goofy, and a joy to be with.  When he snuggles with you on the couch, your heart will melt.  Jakey
is in good health, current on vaccines, micro-chipped and neutered.   In Morgan Hill. Contact
norcalweimrescue@yahoo.com or 925-385-5275.
MALCOLM, 6 y/o male Weimaraner.  If Malcolm's white spot on his chest does not get
you, his charm will!  Malcolm is submissive with people, but he is a big boy with minimal
training, and could accidentally knock over young kids or an elderly person.  He gets
along with other dogs -  cats??  Malcolm has been kenneled (shelter) for three weeks, and is
now in an apartment, restricted to short leash walks, because  he is heart worm positive.  
He is not symptomatic, so we are optimistic about his recovery. The treatment will take
4-months and he cannot exercise (elevate his heart rate) during that period.  Fortunately,
heart worm is treatable and survivability is likely.  We are looking for a forever home
willing to get to know Malcolm in a restricted activity environment, and once he is clear
of heart worm, then enjoy exploring the active side of Malcolm.  Malcolm dodged two
euthanasia dates at shelter while we arranged to save him and he is worth it!  He is ready
to move to his foster or forever home!  Malcolm will do best in a home with no cats, and no
dogs unless it is a very lazy dog that will not tempt him to play.  He is learning house
training in his temp. foster home, and knows a few basic obedience commands.   In
Auburn.  Contact norcalweimrescue@yahoo.com or 925-385-5275.
IMMEDIATE
FOSTER HOME NEEDED!  
ALFIE, 1.5 y/o male Weimaraner.  Alfie was brought into a shelter by a caring
individual who found him running loose but could not take him home.  Unfortunately,
Alfie was not reclaimed by his owner, so we are looking for a new forever home for this
very nice dog.  Alfie really likes attention from people, and he wags his long tail to be
sure everyone knows it!  He is quite patient for being in shelter over a week, but is
ready to run and play as soon as possible!   He is not reactive toward dogs in kennels
near him, passed the temperament test at the shelter, and an NCWR volunteer reports
he has a great demeanor.  As we learn more about Alfie from his foster Mom, his bio will
be updated (cats? kids? dogs?)  Alfie is smaller in stature, has as a couple of dry skin
spots on his hind quarters, likely from sitting on cement, and his tail is bruised from
wagging against the metal gates.  Alfie is neutered, current on vaccines, and
micro-chipped.  This sweet boy will make a doting companion very happy.

DAKOTA, 12 y/o female Weimaraner. Dakota's owner changed jobs out of necessity, and lives out
of state most months out of the year. Her daughter agreed to care for Dakota while she was away,
but recently dropped Dakota off at her Mom's vacant home and drops in to add food to her bowl and
fill the water bowl, regularly. Dakota had been with her owner since she was 7 weeks old. When she
grew into adulthood, the x-husband said she could not live indoors. So in the winter months, she slept
in the garage in a crate, and spent her days outside on the porch. In the warmer months, Dakota
visits a nearby river to swim which she very much enjoys. She spends most of her time relaxing in
the sun and has never had an inclination to roam off the five unfenced acres she was raised on. While
she lived indoors for a little while, she is accustomed to going potty outside, so she will need a
refresher on house training. Dakota gets along with other dogs and people, but does bark at
strangers. Once the stranger becomes a friend, she enjoys getting all the attention she can. Dakota is
spayed, and has had very good vet care (all records will be provided). She is current on vaccines
including Lyme's. She is on monthly heart worm preventative and in good health. Dakota is ready to
move into her forever home to enjoy her senior years roaming her yard, and receiving as much love
and affection as possible. Contact norcalweimrescue@yahoo.com or 925-385-5275. In the mountains
east of Fresno - transport will be arranged.
LUCIA, 3 y/o female Weimaraner.  Lucia was picked up as a stray and
never reclaimed. She appears to have recently given birth, but sure has
bounced back with lots energy! This very nice girl LOVES to play Fetch!  She
gladly brings the ball back for another throw.  Lucia has a happy-go-lucky
personality and seems to have been well taken care of; she is in good health,
with a pretty coat and at a good weight. She does need obedience training to
understand life is not all Fetch and games, and she will require a lot of
exercise!  She rides well in the car (a familiar activity for her), and is so-so on
leash. Lucia gets along with other dogs and people - she has not been around
cats or children while in our care. House trained??  Lucia has been
dewormed, updated on vaccines, heart worm tested and micro-chipped.  She
will be spayed prior to placement. In Fresno.

EINSTEIN, 6 y/o male Weimaraner. The boy had been with his owner since he was a puppy and
wasvery well taken care of in all aspects.  He was joined at 6 mos. of age by  another male
Weimaraner, and they bonded tightly. The dogs were recently separated, and Einstein misses his
"bro". Just before all this came about, Einstein was attacked by a very intimidating dog, and since
that incident, his owner was very nervous when walking him. Einstein picked up on this and
became afraid himself. Today, he is in our care and in doggy daycare with 20+ other dogs to gain
his confidence as a pack member again. He is having a great time! Einstein will be a very happy
boy if he has dogs and people in his life, and a confident leader. One who will approach dogs on
leash as if there were not a care in the world. Einstein is very sweet and has been through A LOT
so he deserves the best home. Einstein loves to go on walks and car rides. He also enjoys chewing
on bones and relaxing in the sun. He is crate trained, but does not like being in it when his person
is gone. Einstein's unusual favorite thing is vegetables - he can hear the chopping a mile away!  
Einstein is good with people, never tested with kids, though he does not react to them when on
walks. No cats! Current on shots and neutered. In Cloverdale.
