When U.S rescues get overfilled with weims does the U.S. ever partner with the Canadian weim rescue to help out... I wondered about this as there are far more people applying for dogs then there are dogs available in Canada.

Transport would need to be arranged. I really hope that whatever is going on in the states with dogs, slows down soon.

Not weims but I was just talking to a woman at the dog park and her rescue is from the states. She said the rescue by her home (somewhere in Mississauga) just brought up 40 dogs from the states and that they commonly do that or bring them from other provinces.

Huh, I wonder if that's Lichen from the weimrescue911 list.

Posted: Sun Jul 27, 2008 9:14 pm    Post subject: US dogs to Canada Yes we adopted our weim from great lakes weim rescue...our dog was in grand rapids Michigan and we are from Toronto. We drove down to pick her up. We searched for a while and there are definitely a tonne more dogs looking for homes in the states than in Canada. Crossing the border was no problem at all...all we showed was her rabies vaccine certificate. Be wary of so called rescues from Quebec. I have read that many rescues are really just folks set up to profit off selling puppy mill dogs as rescued animals. Make sure to check the rescue's reputation out. Great lakes weim rescue volunteers were a pleasure to work with.

We've had several people come down from Cananda to adopt dogs we've had available. But we don't transfer our rescues to them if we get full, we just work harder!

I know myself my boy also came from U.S. via me...LOL Could some of these dogs that have been assessed be able to enter the canadian rescue as there are people waiting...It would cut down on the waiting list in Canada...like myself and others who have gone to the U.S....I'm sure we would have adopted out of Canada if the availability would have been there... If the transportation and volunteers were available could this be viable when there is an over abundance of weims in the U.S....thinking that some of the weims could be saved.... We have a greyhound group of dedicated individuals who home visit potential adopters..and if they meet the criteria..the volunteers make a trip to the U.S. and pick up the lucky dogs...I think they make the trip 1 a month to pick up the lucky dogs who now have wonderful homes...
