Shasta

9/18 10:47 AM UPDATE: SHASTA HAS BEEN ADOPTED!!!————————

MEET SHASTA. Shasta was dropped off with last night at 8:00 pm under some pretty sad circumstances. Her mom recently passed away after a lengthy battle with cancer, and her dad’s health is also failing; his kids are in the process of moving him into an assisted home. It was Shasta’s veterinarian who actually reached out to us first a few weeks ago to let us know that a Weim might need a new home. CalWEAR was then interviewed by Shasta’s family (in person!) to ensure she was going to be well taken care of while we find her a new home. Shasta was dropped off with TWO crates, multiple beds, blankets, all the toys a dog could possibly want, bowls, leashes, and a healthy supply of high quality food. Her records from the vet go back to when she was an eight week old puppy. All of her puppy shots were given at the appropriate time. Every illness, bug, and flu was documented with a visit to the vet. Very rarely do we ever see that kind of loving commitment from a former family. Proof that sometimes, even the most loved dogs find themselves in situations where they need a new family.

About Shasta herself: Shasta is a petite little thing. Good with other dogs, adults and children. NO CATS. She is two years old, spayed, up to date on all of her shots, housebroken, crate trained, leash trained, and knows her basic commands.

We gave her family our word that we would find her the BEST home. If that’s you, please reach out to us at hello@CalWEAR.org.

Shasta is located in Tustin/Orange, Orange County, CA. 😊

What a beautiful girl. I am watching a dogs on Deployment pup who had not been cat tested but I have a great cat who won’t run when she meets dogs. Half the the battle. I’ve rescued two dogs not knowing if ok with cats. I leashed the dogs to me and over time they adjusted. But if NO Cats is on the report why take a chance? It’s not fair to tempt the poor pup who is having to adjust to a new home as it is. I’d take her in a heart beat but why push my luck!
Alexandra Rayward
She is so pretty 💜

Thank you
Dawn Sharp
The very first Weim I rescued over 30 years ago came to me with a crate and a huge container if food and was led to me by a young man and his 2 brothers. All 3 coumd have been named Paul Bunyan. I still cry when I remember the goodbyes with the dog and the tears from those 3 giants as they left that night. Bad things do happen to good people. But it all turned out great.
Becca Louise
Awe Shasta is so very sweet. She will have no trouble at all finding a new home.
Maggie McGrath
Awww, that is how I got my first Weim. It was the best move I ever made! That dog saves me instead of the other way around!

a girlfriend for Meatball?!

Michele Sheehan
Love that they took such good care of her. Sad that someone in the family can’t keep her….so sad for the family tragedy too…

Jennifer Avery

Gill Norris
Oh gosh makes me so sad. Could happen to any of us. Now … do I have room. 😀

Lisa Weisel
Is she cat friendly?
California Weimaraner Education and Rescue
She chases cats. We don’t know what she’ll do with them if she actually catches one.
Lisa Weisel
That’s a Weim for ya!
Caz Carey
Most dogs who have not been raised with cats will chase them. Our cat, currently aged 15 and now a mere 6.9 kilos, will stand his ground and is a useful training aid!!! If she is introduced carefully and fairly to a cat with an established record of sharing its home with a dog, she will learn IME.
California Weimaraner Education and Rescue
Caz Carey

Very possible! But we also don’t want to get ourselves into a position where we might be wrong and someone gets hurt. So in rescue, we err on the side of caution as much as possible. We don’t recommend that Shasta is placed in a home with cats.

Caz Carey
I rescue here in UK. Current Weim came to us with multiple emotional mental and minor physical problems. Cat was 3yrs old and 9 kilos at that time and appalled to find “his” dog had been replaced by this huge male nutcase. 12 years later cat is still fed inside melon tray box on top of washing machine just to make the point he deserves peace when eating. But dog, having spent his first week here on a leash (so we could grab him if needed) is now very much cat proofed, with all cats, so I think it depends on who is offering her a home. I hear that you should make it clear she’s not cat experienced but think there may be a chance for her with the ‘right’ 🐱
Lisa Weisel
All of Weims and dogs have been around cats however I fully trust Cal Weim is making the right decision.
Chuck Clarke
Good idea. I got an owner surrender call one time for a “good with cats” Weim a guy got from a shelter. Within 3 hrs of getting home, 2/3 of his wife’s cats were toast, and #3 was in “protective custody”. Yup, he was good with cats…as mobile chew toys. I am not all that impressed with the self-defending cat concept. Weims are good at the sudden rush thing.
California Weimaraner Education and Rescue
We’ve had a “good with cats” dog kill our President’s personal cat under the dining table on Easter Sunday. He was great with him for the four years leading up to that point. Co-existing in harmony, and then BAM. 😢
Terri Ann
There are gonna be tons of interested families for this beauty that are cat free zones! 😊
Caz Carey
California Weimaraner Education and Rescue

horrific. Obviously a high prey-drive. Our present Weim had been beaten, and I mean whipped, for even looking at rabbits, to keep him minded to work feather only. To this day he tries to hide behind our legs when he sees a rabbit… not normal at all? Sorry about your President’s cat: we don’t allow both animals in a room where there’s food at the same time. Suspect a long build up of food guarding behind that event. Not judging. Just sharing thoughts. No future regime of ours will be allowed guest dogs/friends in our garden: food guarding v. Very small Jack Russell meant our cat had a nasty experience! He remains ok with our Weim, but interestingly neither Weim nor cat will tolerate JR’s. Every dog is an individual. This one food guards indoors, shares happily outdoors. Who knows?

Mary Pat Curran
The post says No Cats in capital letters.
Lisa Weisel
MaryPat Curran it didn’t originally
Caz Carey
Chuck Clarke another thought to share. Not judging. “Weim a guy got from a shelter” puts me right off. We are incredibly lucky here in UK to have not only experienced Weim owners as assessor for Weimaraner Club UK rescue, but we also have a uniquely qualified behaviourist with large property who kennels and assesses over a period of weeks, months sometimes before rehousing. Please note also that while I took the risk with my own very large very fit Weimloving cat, I was at the time assessing the dog and my husband wanted to keep him. I am not saying he could safely have gone to another family – it took us (with thirty years’ experience) over a year to sort him, cat, horse, child, baby, fireworks, car headlights, car alarms, torch beams…. what makes me share is that this is Cal Weim and I’m sure they’re adding this to their knowledge base. We’ve had eleven blissful years and are now on a new learning curve: the grumbly old man phase!
Michelle Elizabeth
She is really beautiful I feel so badly for all involved. Glad they contacted you for help. ❤️
Rene Rouleau
Keri Morales

does your mom want another dog? This made ne think of her 😊

Anita Good
I would SO love to adopt her, but I think having TWO 2-year-old grey girls might put me in the crazy dog Mom category.
Renita Howard
Paula Williams

– Sophie & Sasha. Just sayin’ 😉

Carlotta Sciarra
We would love to take her
Sage Okamoto
Adrienne Carpenter
