Look at this pretty girl that we might adopt Saturday.

[Maddy McCall]

I have a male weimy who needs an outside playmate. Well, here's the gal that's up for adoption on Saturday at a shelter nearby:



She was found as a stray, and her owner has five days to reclaim. If she tests heartworm negative and if her owner doesn't reclaim, we will adopt her.

I hope that her present family reclaims her. Weimies have a habit of wandering away from home...they are inquisitive, smart animals that need love and attention constantly, or they roam.

Well, if her present family doesn't want her back, we will become her family.

I think she looks like a Benadette. What do you think?

1. awww

poor thing needs some love

good thing to do maddy :)

[Maddy McCall]

4. She DOES need love.

You can see it in her eyes, can't you?

[sundog]

7. yes, my exact thoughts

if the owners can't be found, let her know she'll be ok

[Maddy McCall]

8. Yes, and I am taking a dog toy for her tomorrow, regardless.

My schnauzer Lucinda has a pink doggy bear that she doesn't play with, so I will take it to the weimy, and at least she'll have a tangible promise that someone loves her and she will have a home.

2. Beautiful puppy!!

Did you mean Bernadette? Beautiful name, too...either way? :)

[Maddy McCall]

3. I like Benadette.

And we can call her Benni. It's a beautiful name that I became acquainted with last week--actually, it's a DUers name.

Isn't she a beaut?

41. ...

:blush:

BTW-still wonder if the long or short sleeves would be better in the package. Finally getting paid on Friday.

5. She is a very cute dog. As for heartworm, it can be treated

successfully in dogs. My friend has found a stray dog with lots of heartworms, but it was all treated and the dog is now fine.

[Maddy McCall]

10. I would do the treatments, but the shelter won't adopt out animals...

with heartworms. I don't understand their policy, but that's their policy.

So please say a prayer, send good thoughts, that the girl doesn't have heartworms.

[LisaL]

15. I don't understand this. It's a treatable condition.

With cats, there is no treatment, but with dogs, it can be treated. That stray dog had so many of them, but he made it and is now fine. I hope this girl doesn't have it, since the shelter is not being reasonable about it.

6. Beautiful dog, Maddy!

:loveya:

[Maddy McCall]

12. Yes, she's pretty.

She is the female version of my boy Bisbee.

[Floogeldy]

9. I love her

And I want her to lick my ear lobe.

;)

[Maddy McCall]

11. If she licks your earlobe, she'll lick your whole face.

She's a BIG girl. :D

[Blue Diadem]

13. Awwww Maddy, she's a beautiful girl!

She looks so lonesome. If that isn't a take me home look I don't know what is.

[Maddy McCall]

14. Hopefully, her family that lost her will reclaim her.

She does look like she's used to human companionship and misses her family.

But, if her family doesn't reclaim her by Saturday, we'll give her a home. :)

[Blue Diadem]

16. That's great that you'll adopt her if her family doesn't claim her.

I always hate to see them so lost and without a home. You're a very kind person.

[bettyellen]

17. looks like a bernadette to me. i woulda had that as my confirmation name

except their was a glitch the year and they made us take our middle names.
love her, congrats maddy!

[Maddy McCall]

20. Thanks, bettyellen.

I love the name. I think we'll drop the r and call her Benadette, and then her nickname will be Beni.

[bettyellen]

21. did you ever see my new babies? Caindy and Sweet Pea?

two "bad momma" cornish rexs from tennessee. i love them!

[Maddy McCall]

23. Those are BEAUTIFUL cats.

Are they near hairless? Years ago, I had a hairless rat terrier, and we had to keep him out of the sun. He would get pink. :D

[bettyellen]

42. it's supposed to grow back. they both had litters and it falls out.

but when (if) it does grow back. it's very short and wavy and feels like cashmere. they don't shed, i'll tell you that. and i have no allergy to them either. and they have friendly active personalities like dogs. :) . very lovable.

[arwalden]

18. I Don't Know What To Hope For...

... I'm sure the original owners would be THRILLED to find their pup again, and that's always a good thing to hope for. But if they don't show up, I wish you all luck and I hope she makes a good addition to your family.

Love, Allen

[Maddy McCall]

19. Yes, that's my wish, too.

Sadly, many people abandon Weimies because they are hyper and they love to chew stuff. My weimy chewed the door frame off of our front door! But if you're patient, by the time the reach 2, they settle in.

I hope that isn't the case with this dog, but, if it is, she'll have a family that understands the breed and will be willing to let her chew and be hyper for awhile. :D

[Elidor]

22. Adorable. Who could say no to that face?

She looks lovely.

[Maddy McCall]

24. I just happened across her photo while I was looking at Katrina animals.

She melted my heart. I'm a softie. :D

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

25. She is just gorgeous!

Hope they like each other!

[Maddy McCall]

32. I'm sure they will.

She can get out of that godawful kennel and into a woodsy yard. She'll be happy. I hope!

:hi:

[Wapsie B]

26. What a beautiful dog!

I've never heard of that breed but she sure looks like a nice dog.

[Maddy McCall]

33. Posted this below

This is my Weimaraner. His name is Bisbee:

[SoCalDem]

27. She looks so sad... I hope you get to adopt her

:)

[Maddy McCall]

34. I do, too.

After I contacted the shelter yesterday, another man came in and filled out adoption papers. However, he's not "sure" that he wants to adopt her, and he needs to talk to his wife first.

So I talked to the shelter manager today, and she begged me to please go ahead and fill out papers. She said that many times, people who fill out papers don't come back, because they realize that they can't handle a large dog.

So she's faxing me the papers today and I'm going to fill them out.

Say a prayer that we will be the family to bring the pretty girl home.

Where's the emoticon for "fingers crossed."

:hi:

[Draill]

28. Very precious. Benadette sounds good! n/t

[Maddy McCall]

35. Well, my son wants to name her...

Tallulah.

We shall see. :D

[merh]

29. What a beautiful dog, Maddy!

If her family doesn't claim her, she will be a wonderful addition to a beautiful family with so much love to give.

Your generosity of spirit is amazing! :hug: :loveya: :hug:

[Maddy McCall]

36. You are too sweet.

:hug: :loveya:

[Patiod]

30. We had one - as you know, they really need room to run

we probably should have had 1) more room for ours and 2) a playmate for her.

She looks like a beauty - a real Grey Ghost!

[Maddy McCall]

31. I've got 40 acres...

have a creek on the property. My dog Bisbee loves romping on the property.

Yes, they need lots of room and a companion. We love our guy, but he prefers to be outside. So he needs a playmate.

Here's my guy:

[flvegan]

37. Congrats to you all, and to Bernadette.

However it works out, it works out.

Thanks for adopting. What a sweetie she is!

[Maddy McCall]

38. Thanks!

Just hoping it does work out. She'll have a home regardless. And that's the most important thing.

[friesianrider]

39. Oh wow...what a gorgeous girl!

I love Weimers! Look how sad she looks :(

I hope everything works out with her heartworm tests and all - please let us know how it goes! (and kudos to you for adopting!) :thumbsup:

[Maddy McCall]

40. I had one inside dog and one outside dog.

So I adopted a companion for my inside dog last week. This week, my outside dog Bisbee gets a companion. :D

That's Bisbee, my male Weimy:
