> Fellow Weim rescue groups,
>
> I am with Weim rescue of the South & we desperately need your help! We have
> 5 weims sitting in kill shelters in our coverage area today (This is only
> Tuesday folks). We also have a long list of owner surrenders & many of
> these will be in shelters shortly.
> We already have 40 dogs in our program & are paying to board 16 of those due
> to lack of foster homes. We are WAY over capacity. We've been in this
> situation for months on end. We constantly transport dogs to rescues in
> surrounding states (Thank you to all of you who help us regularly!) We send
> out 2 & get in 4 more... the numbers continue to multiply. Our neighboring
> rescue groups are also full at this time, so we're reaching out to
> EVERYONE. Adoption applications are few & far between (over half cannot
> even pass a vet check). To compound problems, we've had many residents lose
> homes from recent tornadoes & flooding...so LOTS of dogs in need
> & few qualified applicants. *Just NOT a good situation here! *
> **
> *Can ANYONE step up & save these dogs? *Some will probably be HW+. I'm sure
> most will need to be spayed/neutered. ..But they ALL deserve a chance!!!
> There are several reputable transport companies out there who can get the
> dogs to (or close to) you for a small fee!
> We really need everyone's help to save these Weims! If you can take a dog
> or two, please let us know. We can forward photos & the info that we have
> about each dog. We can also arrange to pull the dog & work with you to get
> them transported.
>
> Thank you in advance for your help...
