Oregon Weimaraner Rescue

Basics for being a responsible Weimaraner owner:

• A lifestyle that allows you to spend a lot of time with your dog

• A home that you feel comfortable letting a dog live inside with you

• A fully fenced, dog proof yard of reasonable size (no fence = no dog 90% of the time)

• Access to inside heated and dry shelter in the winter

• Access to a cool place in the summer

• A budget that can afford quality dog food and an occasional vet emergency

• A budget that can afford working with a trainer if necessary

• A vehicle that you can safely use to transport your dog

​

Placements:

• Any person being considered to adopt a dog must be able to physically meet that dog prior to adoption

• We do not place dogs that are not spayed or neutered (some caveats apply)

• We do not place dogs in homes where they will be living outdoors

• We do not place dogs in homes where they are expected to live in a dog house, chained or in a kennel

• We do not place dogs in homes with un-fenced yards (very few exceptions apply). An invisible fence may be  considered.

• We audition applicants for dogs, not dogs for applicants.

***It is our mission to find the best overall home for each dog in our care. Sometimes this means good homes will lose out on a dog to a home that better suits the needs of the specific dog being rehomed.***

​

Process:

• We accept applications for a specific dog until we feel there is an adequate pool to review

• Applications are read and sorted on their potential suitability to meet the specific needs of the dog in question (we want success for the dog)

***Our review is based ENTIRELY upon the information you provide in your application. PLEASE BE THOROUGH!***

• The applicants that represent the best fit(s) for the dog are contacted for a phone interview

• An in-person meet and greet is scheduled between the applicant, any existing dogs in the home, and the adoptive dog
  ***We do not transport dogs to adopters; meet and greets occur where the dog is living at the time.*** 

• A home inspection is performed to verify what was shared in the application is accurate and true

• A 'Placement Contract' (inclusive of fee) is signed prior to taking ownership

​

Adoption Fee:

All dogs have an associated $400 adoption fee unless otherwise noted or arranged 

This fee helps cover vet care such as wellness checks, spays/neuters, biopsies, teeth cleaning, training and much more.
