Dear members, volunteers, and animal lovers,

During the month of January 2009, Wolf Creek rescued one third of the total number of Weimaraners surrendered in the entire year of 2008. During that time, the adoption applications came to a slowing halt. The rescue was beyond capacity with an all time high of nearly 30 dogs. We had only a few foster homes at the time. Although WCWR was at capacity, the phone calls and emails continued to pour into the rescue of homeless Weimaraners needing refuge.

After having to turn many Weimaraners away, several members got together and discussed a strategy to better handle the overflow of homeless Weimaraners that need our help. We recognized that this is not an isolated case, or only a WCWR problem, but rather one that is plaguing our animal communities across the country right now. Upon being told from other organizations and out-of-state prospective adopters, that some rescue/club organizations up north and possibly to our west, may be able to help by taking the overload population of homeless weims in the south and place them in safe havens within their organizations. WCWR began working on a process to help facilitate the plan.

Amanda Jacobson is a volunteer with WCWR and has agreed to take on the challenge of networking with other Weimaraner organizations across the country to organize a transport of dogs to safe havens when WCWR can no longer accept dogs. Amanda will be reaching out to volunteers across the state of Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina and many other states, to coordinate geographically, the persons/members/volunteers, whom would be willing to provide a leg of transportation when called upon in order to take the Weimaraner to safe havens. Legs of transport have been arranged in the past in cases of out of state adoptions. The transporting process we described above will be time sensitive and the need dire, as many of the dogs are in kill shelters and without a coordinated, collaborated effort, cannot be transported to safe havens. If you can help by being a volunteer for transport, please contact Amanda at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
