Weimaraner (and Dobe's) need home(s) in Mobile, AL
« on: October 06, 2006, 07:52:19 am »
Hey all, Sorry I haven't been around too much lately, but things have been a little busy....
There is an approx 2 y/o male unaltered Weimaraner and 2 approx (8-12 mo. old *guessing*)unaltered male Dobermans at the Mobile County Animal Shelter.  Although this is a 'kill' facility, I've been told by 2 members of the staff that none of these 3 dogs will be put down and they will call me if something changes in that regard. 
The Weim is a very sweet and playful boy.  He is also smart and has learned to open the shelter gates in the short time he's been there.  According to the shelter the person that called them to pick him up said that his owners moved and abandoned him.  He'll need a very dog-savvy person to rein in and direct that intelligence and energy.  He seems very comfortable around the other dogs with no signs of aggression.  He is a bit underweight at this point, but his teeth, ears, eyes and coat all look good.
The 2 dobies are friendly and lively.  They also appear to be in good health with nice coats, teeth, eyes, etc....
That being said, this particular shelter does not have funding to provide the normal shots to incoming dogs and as a result is having problems with parvo and kennel cough, so it would be very good to find them homes quickly.
The main requirements for adopting from this shelter is that you mus provide them 1)proof of rabies vaccination within 72 hours of adoption; and 2) proof of spay/neuter within 30 days of adoption.
If anyone is interested, feel free to email me at tpandrews@aol.com or call me at 251-402-0912.  Thanks to all!

It would be easy for me to take the Weim.  Heather is in Mobile and could easily pick him up for me.  I'm in TN now taking care of my elderly Mom.  I'll be home on the 14th.  That being said, let me ask those of you who have more experience at this than I do.  First of all, I'm not sure that I'm ready for a new Weim.  I picked Shade's ashes up on Monday and left Wednesday to come up here.  So, that's one issue. Bella, my Dobie, is with me, of course. The other issue is that Bella was with Shade from the time she was a puppy.  She took her cues from her and respected her as alpha dog.  Bella seems to be at odds with herself.  She is trying to find her place, the big girl who has to make decisions.  Last weekend, she walked around the house whining.  She hasn't slept in my bedroom (Shade's place) although invited to, but did start sleeping on the dog bed in my room last Sunday night.  She has been off her feed and is my constant shadow.  I'm giving her lots of attention and reassurance.  I don't want to stress her...she has demodectic mange but has been clear for about 2 years now.  How would bringing a new dog into the household affect her?  I can see the pros and cons at this point.  Anyone have any experiences they would like to share?

I'll try to get in touch with Tom, that is if you're serious.  Bella will be fine.  She does well with any dog that comes to your house, she's very social!!

H, give me a call (#'s above) and we'll set up a time to go out there... not the greatest area in the county  ;).  I would be very excited to have someone I know adopt this boy.. I'd have taken him in heartbeat if I wasn't full up!  I'd love to be able to see him on one of our outings!  BTW - doubt it matter to you or your mom, but I realized that I didn't mention in my description above, that his tail is NOT docked.


 NOW... any interest in the 2 'Dobie Brothers'???? ;D

My Stepmom has an older dobie female and has been searching dobie rescues for a new addition.  i will askk her and see what she thinks.  Do they need to go together if so i dont think that would be a problem but we will see.  she lives in mobile also.  so it would be really easy for her to pick them up.

Although, I think it would be great for them to stay together, as they are attached to each other, it's not mandatory.  Feel free to give me a call and I'll give you the contact info, or as above, I'll be happy to go out there with her. 
Also a  :D BIG THANKS :D to everyone!
