Please plan on attending Wolf Creek's Friends & Family Fall BBQ on October 10, 2010. This will be a fun-filled event with all proceeds benefiting Wolf Creek Weimaraner Rescue. Not only will great food be served, but we'll have door prizes, in addition to a silent auction. We have a special musical guest, Kimber Cleveland, who is also a proud animal rescue advocate. This is a great opportunity to meet up with fellow supporters of the rescue and we'll look forward to seeing you all there!
Hepburn (aka “Heppie” and “Faith”) is a three year old petite, adorable girl. She is a very affectionate and loving weim, who loves all the petting and affection you can lavish on her. In return, she will give you plenty of kisses and cuddle time. No shortage of love here!
Hepburn gets along really well with adults, and to WCWR’s knowledge, she has never been in a home with children. She is working really hard on her house training and manners and is crate trained. She has had basic obedience training and is very eager and quick to learn what pleases you. Hepburn will require a fenced yard or a family who has the time and area for multiple daily leash walks. In a fenced area, Hepburn will need supervision as she can be an escape artist and climber. It is felt that Hepburn will need to be an only dog in a foster or adoptive home (NO female dogs) . She has done well in the past with a male dog and may do fine with another male, but Heppie cannot be around other females. Heppie did learn to live with a cat in a previous foster home, but did initially present a high prey drive. If she were to live with cats, the family would have to safely introduce her to the cat with close supervision.
When WCWR learned of Hepburn’s need of rescue, she was found chained outside in ten inches of snow with no appropriate shelter. She was only two years old and had already been in three previous homes. Hepburn lost her leg when she was allowed to run free and became tangled in fence wire and due to poor care, her leg was amputated. This did not stop Hepburn or break her will; she has an amazing spirit that will creep into your heart and make you love her. Despite her physical handicap, Heppie can do most everything any other dog can do. This amazing girl wants nothing more than a family who will make her a part of their daily lives and to share all the love and companionship she has to give with you.
My name is Jack and I came into rescue over a year ago. My owners had to move and could not take me with them. I'm almost 10 years old, although many times you would not know it! Do not be fooled by my age, I'm a high-spirited boy who loves to be on the go! If you're looking for a super-smart Weim, your search is over. Really, why even consider a young Weim when you can have me? Trust me, the wisdom that comes with age surpasses youth every time! I am looking for a home where I can spend the remainder of my years.
As you can see from my pictures, I am one handsome boy. I have beautiful light eyes that did not turn amber. They enhance my youthful appearance, don't you think? I currently live in a foster home where I have no problem keeping up with my younger foster siblings. I love to play and I adore going for walks. I've gotten much better on my leash manners and I'm learning that I don't need to pull, after all there are plenty of hours in the day. I ride beautifully in a vehicle and love to watch the world go by from the window. I'm a huge fan of toys. Durable toys are a must with me as I do enjoy chewing on them. If you fill a Kong with peanut butter, I promise to love you forever. Oh, I love to swim too. Check out my swim video to see me in action.
I would be an excellent guardian of your home, nothing slips by me. Don't bother with an expensive security system... Jack is on duty. I have excellent house manners and can be trusted in the home. Okay, so there was the case of the missing chicken burrito, but I'm pleading the fifth on that incident. I'll admit that I'm intensely passionate about food. I love food. I love the smell of food. I've been known to counter surf and I'd be less than honest if I didn't tell you that the kitchen is one of my favorite rooms in the house! My foster family is working with me on my food manners. When you're preparing food in the kitchen or sitting down to dinner, simply put me in a down-stay outside the kitchen and I will abide. I told you I was a smart boy. Seriously, I can be left alone in the house and won't disturb anything (well, unless you leave food on the counter!) I can be crated but tend to bark a lot, so I much prefer to be able to stretch my bones around the comforts of a home. I am a couch potato and love soft things to lay on. Human beds are truly my favorite. I also love to be covered with blankets. I enjoy crawling under blankets and taking naps, you really have to see it to believe it. I love feeling warm and secure.
Like nearly all Weims, I have a high prey drive. Squirrels are such a delight to chase! Anyway, I think it's safe to say that I cannot live with cats (and just about any small critter). I would truly acclimate best in a home where I'm the only dog. If I were to live with another dog, I would best get along with a female. I tend to have a dominant personality and would likely compete with a male dog. Kids are cool with me, but they must be older (10+) as I'm an exuberant boy when it comes to toys and food. Well, what do you think? I have my paws crossed for the perfect forever home.....
Alex was adopted by Trent Steele about a year ago. Together, they have developed a love for dock-diving. As you'll see by watching the video below, Alex is quite accomplished at this sport. Wolf Creek Weimaraner Rescue is very proud of Alex....and so thankful that Trent Steele opened his heart and home to this beautiful blue boy.
