Does GLWR take in only healthy dogs?
No, we do our best not to turn away any sick or injured dogs. We get them well before placing them in a fur-ever home.
What vetting does the rescue cover?
All dogs are spay/neutered, up to date on vax, wormed, treated for Heart worm if needed, treated for any other sickness, and microchipped.
I've never owned a Weim before can I still foster one?
Please read up on the breed, also check out our Weim, and read our medical blog. That will give you a lot of information on Weims. They are not like other breeds. If you would like to foster contact us (contact info at bottom of this page).
How long does the average dog stay in foster care before finding a home?
That is always a tricky question to answer, some are in and out in no time and other take a bit longer. A sick dog may take longer to place since they need some extra time to heal.
What if someone in another state wants to adopt my foster?
Transport can be arranged and many times adopters are willing to to help with getting their new dogs to them.
I have other dogs in my house, how will they react to my foster?
Make sure introductions are done properly so your dogs know this is a guest in their house. The general rule is it can take up to 30 days for everyone to adjust, however it is usually much shorter then that.
How can I not get attached and want to keep my foster?
We'd be lying if we said that doesn't happen. In your heart you'll know when its the perfect home for your foster. Just about everyone has that same question, once you foster and get that perfect application for your foster you will know the feeling. And their are always more homeless Weims waiting to come in. And who are we kidding! Once in a while some of us have kept a foster.
Do you require home visits?
Yes we do. Not only for foster homes, but adopters as well. We want to see where our Weims are going. We like to have a perfect match and sometimes a certain Weim may not fit in a home and their may be another Weim more suited for a home.
I really can't foster right now, is their any other way I can help?
Sure! We could always use donations whether monetary or other. Don't forget all donations are tax deductible.
I want to foster. Now what?
