Sara von Weimer

Sara von Weimar is a beautiful 11 month old pure Weimaraner. Her owners got her from a breeder but when she and Dakota, a pure 11 month old German Shepherd had an altercation with the family's little dog, they found themselves in an animal shelter. We were taking Dakota and didn’t want to leave Sara behind. The girls are in a kennel now together but are good in the playgroup with a whole assortment of dogs and personalities. The girls are both pretty overwhelmed now and are not sure what happened to them. Once we got out of the kennel for pictures, Sara was ready for a nap. It was hard to get her back up and to pose for her web-site pictures. She could smell food cooking at a little corner snack bar with her nose up in the air and she was ready for a snack too. Both girls have had great care. There was a six year old child in the family. Both dogs are also housebroken and have had $1000 worth of training at DogsWorld. The owner promised one of our volunteers that she would send the AKC papers so we are hoping to have them. The girls need to be adopted seperately. Sara's adoption fee is $500 to help with Bogie's eye surgery. No cats or little dogs.

Care:  The Weimaraner's smooth, short coat is easy to care for. Brushing should be done with a firm bristle brush. They should only be bathed when absolutely necessary.
