Weimaraner Rescue of the South
Our Mission
Weimaraner Rescue of the South is an all-volunteer, nonprofit 501(c)3 organization. Our priority is to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome Weimaraners in need in Alabama, Mississippi, and parts of Tennessee, Louisiana, and Georgia. All Weimaraners in our care are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and treated for any known medical issues they might have, including, but not limited to heartworm disease, orthopedic concerns, vision issues, and anything else needed. Our efforts are funded by adoption fees and donations from "Weim-loving" people like you.
Adoption Policy
Weimaraner Rescue of the South is a strong advocate of responsible pet ownership, which includes and is not limited to:
1. Consistent history of preventative care, including monthly heartworm prevention and annual wellness exams, vaccinations, heartworm tests.
2. All current pets are spayed or neutered.
3. WRS rarely places dogs into homes without a structurally fenced yard. We do not consider "invisible fences" to be a suitable substitution.
Any person/persons applying to adopt who does not meet the responsible pet ownership requirements set forth by WRS will have their application denied.
Each dog offered for adoption has been spayed or neutered, is current on all shots, has been heartworm tested and is on heartworm preventative. WRS will make recommendations of dogs who match the applicant's lifestyle, home environment, activity level, etc. We will not place a particular dog in a home if we feel it is not a suitable fit.
Adult dogs - $425
Puppies younger than 6 months - $500+ $100 refundable spay/neuter deposit
Senior dogs (age 9+) - $350
Effective 7/26/2023, WRS has put into place a policy where we will be doing prophylactic gastropexies when any of our rescues are being either spayed or neutered. Gastropexies are the only proven way to reduce the risk of GDV (bloat) in dogs, which is oftentimes fatal. Because this is a significant additional surgical expense, we will be implementing an additional fee of $150 to our standard adoption fees for any dog who receives a gastropexy.
