Story
The folks with Weimaraner Rescue are trying to find me a new home but I haven’t had anyone interested in me for months! I know I’m a good boy so, let me tell you, my story.
I’m originally from El Paso, around 7 years old and super buff at 113 pounds. Some would say I could lose a few lbs, but I think I’m good. When rescue heard I needed help, the guy that picked me up fell in love instantly - I do have that effect on people! Suddenly I had two people showering me with affection and a doggie friend to play with; even though the place was small it was cozy and full of love.
Over the next couple years two more large dogs joined the family. A trainer came but my owner didn’t do any of the suggestions to keep us dogs safe. Things got real one day with my older brother when they left us home alone. No one knows who started it, but I took the blame and now I’m back in rescue.
I returned to Houston and completed a 6-week course with a dog trainer. I will wait at the door to allow you to walk through first, walk by your side, sit, and remain in place on command. I know my manners and the more time you spend with me, the better I’ll do.
I meet other dogs where I’m staying, and I’m cool with them but based on my inconsistent behavior around other dogs in a home, I really need to be your one and only bestie. I’m not a fan of squirrels so probably cats won’t work for me either. I do have a great disposition – I’m a balanced mix of energy, chill, and always happy. The people that take care of me love me and tell me what a wonderful dog I am.
I am a bit of a Velcro boy – well a lot of one really! A good cuddle on the couch is a perfect day. I also love getting out to go for walks when I have people visit me. I am house trained and lived perfectly in a home without being crated. I have a clean bill of health and I’m up to date on everything medical.
DNA is all the rage now, so I got mine done too. I’m 49% Weimaraner, 29% American Pitbull Terrier, 17% American Staffordshire Terrier and the remaining 5% Boxer and Chow. Yep, I’m a Weim Pit mix which basically stands for ONE AWESOME DOG.
I’ve been at the boarding facility for months where I’m safe, warm, and fed, but I’m lonely here in my kennel. What I really want is my own family to love, to snuggle on the sofa, go for walks and get yummy treats. I promise to be a good boy as long as you keep me safe. If you aren’t the one, that is ok but please share my story as I’m ready to go home with a loving family.
