UPDATE: SOUL HAS BEEN ADOPTED!!!!!!!

MEET SOUL.

Soul’s family found him on Craigslist and brought him home at the age of six months. Unfortunately, Soul hadn’t been properly socialized and desensitied to his surrounding environment so as he grew, he became fearful and reactive when put into unfamiliar situations. At home, Soul was great with his family, including kids and dog housemates, but incoming guests were always treated with vocal caution. 

After one too many incidents of Soul lashing out at visitors, his family felt it was safer for everyone if Soul was moved to a home who a) had more time than they did to dedicate to basic obedience training, and b) had all the patience in the world to help him overcome his fears. (Nobody knows what his first six months was like.)

Soul is neutered and up to date on his rabies vaccination. Although thriving in foster care where he is sweet, friendly, bouncy, and LOVES to play fetch, it is our hope that Soul can find a quiet, Weimaraner-experienced adult only home with the bandwidth to take care of him.

UPDATE: ANGEL HAS BEEN ADOPTED!!!!!!!

MEET ANGEL. Angel was picked up by LA County Animal Control/Baldwin Park Campus with a dislocated hip, likely due to being hit by a car. With no one coming to claim him, CalWEAR busted him out and immediately got him into our veterinarian for FHO surgery.

Now that it’s been a few weeks and Angel has been recovering nicely, it’s time to find him a GREAT new home. Interested in Angel?! Send us a message.

Thank you!!!!

UPDATE: KAIA HAS BEEN ADOPTED!!!!!!!

MEET KAIA.

Kaia is 9 years old and currently in foster care because her family came upon tough circumstances:

We have come to a cross roads in life. We recently had a baby, my husband lost his job, and we now have to move back east. We cannot afford a home and space that would allow for a Weimaraner in New York (and they rarely allow large dogs). Furthermore, she has a cyst on her that we cannot afford to remove. We just cannot keep up with the costs, time management, or space that is required.

About the cyst. After a few thousand dollars, Kaia’s cyst was successfully removed while under our care so now we’re ready to find her an adoptive home!!!

A few notes about Kaia from her former owners:

• She is prone to allergies in her large ears and can get ear infections if they aren’t cleaned weekly.
• She sleeps at night in a crate, but since we are moving we sold it and she sleeps on the carpet with a blanket next to our bed.
• She goes for a long walk or run once a day and short walks for potty. She is best off leash at the beach, park, or trails.
• She is reliably housebroken. She has only gone to the bathroom when locked inside a room by accident once!
• She is great on a leash that has a tightening collar, otherwise, she will pull.
• She does not like toys unless another dog wants it. She will play with a rope but that’s it!
• She is a fantastic snuggler and wants to be touched always. She will lay by your feet, roll on her back for belly rubs, and if you allow, she’ll cuddle like a human.
• She almost completely ignores people and prefers smelling while on the leash. She will bark at the occasional dog, but it’s random. She is not aggressive when she barks but rather bossy and talkative.
• She has lived with three cats and snuggled with all of them. My parents kept her for a month when our baby was first born and they have a weimaraner. Although they got along like sister, two weims are too much for my parents.
• She whines if she is left outside too long. She barks at new sounds and takes time to adjust to new places. Everytime we have moved (7 times with her) she takes a few weeks to get used to neighbors voices, other neighbor dogs, etc. She may also whine if she sees another pet getting attention until you notice her.
• We love her. My husband has had her since she was 8 weeks old. But his life has changed and we are not financially stable enough to keep her. We are going to stay with family for a short time and they do not want a dog on their hardwood floors. We just keep being presented with challenges, and this is one we cannot keep up with.

UPDATE: CHLOE AND BOWIE HAVE BEEN ADOPTED!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chloe and Bowie are a bonded pair of Weimaraners who need a new home because their father recently and unexpectedly passed away. The below is a message from their caretaking family: 

Chloe is 6-7 years old. She’s very sweet natured but she takes a while to warm up to new people – she’ll bark for a bit until you persevere with a treat. She loves to snuggle on the couch. We believe Chloe was puppy farmed and spent a lot of time in her crate. She doesn’t pull on the leash but really doesn’t understand what being on a leash is all about because she was never trained.

Bowie was born in August 2016 so he’s 4 and a half. He was neutered after he turned 2, and he’s retained some of the alpha male testosterone. He’s also very sweet but much more rambunctious than Chloe – he greets newcomers warmly (terrible guard dog!) with lots of licks and will jump up to greet people. He did learn how to heel at puppy training school but Chris didn’t persevere with it so he’s really hard work on a leash.

Bowie is strong and full of energy. He loves to run in the desert. Chloe keeps up but is definitely the follower not the leader.

They play really nicely together and keep each other company.

Both are crate trained and spend the night in their crates.
