Adoption Application

The screening process usually takes three to six weeks. Applicants are approved to adopt only when they have completed the screening process, which includes a vet reference check, a phone interview, and a home visit. Information not provided at the time of application (including vet, landlord, and reference contact info) will delay the process.

Weimaraner Rescue of the South is a strong advocate of responsible pet ownership, which includes and is not limited to:

Consistent history of preventative care, including monthly heartworm prevention and annual wellness exams, vaccinations, heartworm tests.
All current pets are spayed or neutered.
WRS does not place dogs into homes without a structurally fenced yard. No exceptions. We do not consider "invisible fences" to be 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 for adoption denied.
