WRS serves Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, and parts of Georgia and Louisiana.

Our primary goal is to match the personality of the dog with the personality of the adoptive family, resulting in a permanent and loving home for the dog.  Our rescues are NOT adopted on a first come, first serve basis.  On average, it takes 3 -4 weeks to complete the application process.  We take great measures to pair the right Weim with your family and lifestyle; WRS will make recommendations based on 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.

OUr adoption fees

Each adoptable dog has been spayed or neutered, is current on all shots, has been heartworm tested and is on heartworm preventative. These fees help cover the cost of veterinary care and other expenses.

• Adult dogs - $350

• Puppies <6 months - $400 + $100 refundable spay/neuter deposit

• Senior dogs (age 9+) or Weimaraner mixes - $275

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.

minimum adoption criteria

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 heartworm prevention and annual wellness exams, vaccinations, heartworm tests.

2. All current pets are spayed or neutered.

3. WRS does not place dogs into homes without a structurally fenced yard. NO EXCEPTIONS. “Invisible fences" are not a suitable substitution.

Any person/persons applying to adopt who does not meet the responsible pet ownership requirements set forth by Weimaraner Rescue of the South will have their application denied.

out of area adoptions

On very rare occasions, WRS will consider out of area applicants if they also meet the following ADDITIONAL criteria:

1. Breed ownership experience.

2. Excellent vet reference, including proof of consistent heartworm preventative purchases.

3. Have a structurally fenced yard. NO EXCEPTIONS.

4. WRS is able to conduct a home visit. If we cannot locate a suitable individual to conduct a home visit, we cannot proceed with the application process.

5. All approved out of area applicants must be willing to travel to where our rescues are located. NO EXCEPTIONS.

We encourage everyone to contact their local rescue organization as they will be better equipped to assist in the search for a Weimaraner. Please click HERE to see a listing of Weim rescue groups throughout the country.
