My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

I'd like to introduce Tater.  He is a big boy, currently weighing in at 115 pounds.  And if you think he looks a little different than your Weim, you are correct.  Tater is actually only 49% Weim, rest is 29% American Pitbull Terrier, 17% American Staffordshire Terrier and the remaining 5% Boxer and Chow.  



Tater is a return to rescue after being with an adopter for about 2 years.  There were 3 other dogs in the home and Tater got into a fight with the oldest dog.  No details are available about the cause.  There were no issues with the other 2 dogs in the home, so Tater has been given another chance at finding his forever home, but only as an only dog. 



Tater's birthday is on January 1st and he will be 7 years old.  He has a full tail and is neutered.  He is also heartworm negative and the vet has given him a clean bill of health.  He does have to get two more immunizations to be current and these will happen in the next week or so.  



Tater has completed a 6-week training course with a dog trainer.  He will walk by your side, sit, and remain in place on command.  He is currently pushing back a bit with some of this training, but this is most likely due to his being unsure of what is going on.  New people, new places, and missing his old home and routines. The trainer is willing to talk to the foster and/or adopter to help Tater adjust with his new surroundings.  



Tater is a bit of a velcro dog.  Most of the pictures that have been taken have been close ups.  



Tater is currently in the Houston area at a boarding facility, but can be moved to you.   He should be in an only dog situation.  We are unsure of how he is around cats.  Who will give Tater his best birthday present ever - a home?

More about this rescue

WEIMARANER RESCUE of North Texas, Inc. is an all-volunteer 501-C-3, non-profit, charitable organization.

Since 1989, our small group of volunteers has saved over 1,600 Weimaraners from suffering and death. We exist solely on donations and fund raising efforts. Every penny of our proceeds pay for veterinary care, food, boarding and essential expenses. WRNT began as the Rescue Committee of the Lone Star Weimaraner Club, Inc. (formerly North Texas Weimaraner Club). In 1997 WRNT incorporated and was granted 501-C-3 status by the I.R.S., enabling tax deductible donations to our rescue fund.

OUR MISSION is the rescue, rehabilitation and placement of Weimaraners from animal shelters, found stray, abandoned, neglected and abused. We educate the public on responsible pet ownership, and promote spay/neuter. We are dedicated to end the tragedy of pet over-population by opposing puppy mills, pet stores selling live animals, and irresponsible over-breeding of companion animals.
