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 cats and I probably would not get along.  I would acclimate best in a home where I'm an only dog or as a companion to a female dog.  I tend to have a dominant personality and would likely compete with a male dog, although I'm sure we could peacefully live together after a short time.  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 can't wait until my forever family comes along....

Some of you may remember hearing about Grace. Her amazing story was presented at this year's Weim & Cheese.  Grace came to us in December 2009.  Wolf Creek received the call for help from Young-Williams Animal Center in Knoxville, TN.  Grace's story was not unlike many that rescue groups know so well.  From all appearances, Grace was used primarily as a breeding dog and was  then simply discarded when she was no longer needed.  Grace's coat and skin were in such horrible condition that an untreated mange or thyroid condition was suspected.  The picture you see below is of Grace when she first came to us.  She looked tired, sad, and appeared much older than she really was. But that one picture is only the beginning of the story.

It turned out that Grace's skin condition was simply the result of poor nutrition and neglect. Grace was lovingly nursed back to health by Wolf Creek foster parent, Christy Maschal.   In Christy's care, Grace's indomitable spirit emerged and began to shine, right along with her coat.  She experienced the simple joy that came with being able to play with other dogs. In short, Grace was transformed before our very eyes.  It is because of you, our supportive members, that Wolf Creek is able to continue its mission of finding forever homes for wayward Weimaraners.  It is because of foster parents like Christy that Grace learned what it felt like to be part of a loving family.  Grace found her forever home earlier this month.  She sent us this video greeting to share with you all (be sure to have your speakers on!)

P.S. Grace wants to remind you that foster homes are a huge part of Wolf Creek's success.  We need more foster homes.  Won't you consider opening your heart and home today?  If you're interested , please complete a Foster Application today!
