SexMale
Age1 year
BreedWeimaraner

He thrives in an active household where he has regular opportunities for both physical exercise and mental stimulation. Like many young gundogs, Apollo can become easily excited and sometimes struggles with frustration, so he will do best with owners who understand how to support dogs through adolescence and are confident — or willing to learn — about consistent training techniques.Apollo can be wary of other dogs and will need careful, patient guidance to build confidence in social situations. He will benefit from slow, positive introductions to new dogs rather than being overexposed or rushed into busy environments. Access to quiet walking areas such as fields or woodland, away from traffic and heavy activity, will help him feel calm and secure.While Apollo works on managing his social skills around other dogs, he is currently looking for a home as the only pet.He is looking for a home with children aged 14 and over who understand he may need time and space to settle. Apollo will also need support to develop confidence when left alone, so a household where someone can be present.With the right environment, consistent guidance, and patience, Apollo has the potential to grow into a loving, confident, and joyful companion who will bring energy and affection to his forever family.

Jax, a 6 years old male Weimaraner available for adoption from Dogs Trust in Warwickshire

BreedWeimaraner

Are you right for Jax?Jax is a lovely, friendly boy looking for an active family who can provide plenty of both mental and physical stimulation. He has previously lived with children aged 12 and over and could happily do so again in his new home. Jax was housetrained in his previous home and had been comfortable being left alone, although this may need a little refresher as he settles into a new environment. He can sometimes feel a little unsure with certain types of handling, but he builds friendships quickly and has a warm, affectionate nature. He is very food motivated and loves his toys—especially squeaky ones—and enjoys a good game of fetch! Jax can be strong on the lead, so he would benefit from some ongoing training to help him with loose-lead walking. While he has been comfortable meeting dogs in his previous home, he has not yet been fully assessed around other dogs during his stay with us. For this reason, he is currently looking for a home where he can be the only pet.

BreedWeimaraner

Zeus is an active boy who thrives on movement, enrichment and having a job to do. As you might expect from his breed mix, he is intelligent, energetic and sensitive. He will need an active home that can meet both his physical exercise needs and his mental stimulation needs every day.He can struggle with frustration and can become easily over-aroused in busy or highly stimulating environments. Because of this, Zeus would benefit from owners who have experience with gundog breeds, particularly through adolescence, and who understand how to support dogs with lower frustration tolerance. Confident adopters or those willing to learn and put consistent training in place will help him develop better coping skills and emotional regulation.Zeus would thrive in a home with easy access to quieter walking areas such as fields or woodland, where he can decompress away from busy roads, heavy traffic and large numbers of dogs. He will also need patient guidance around socialisation to help build confidence without overwhelming him. Slow, positive exposure will be key to helping him feel secure.He is looking for a home with children aged 14 and over who can understand his need for space and calm interactions. Zeus will need time and support to settle, particularly around being left alone, so a home where someone is around for much of the day initially would be ideal, Zeus is looking for a home where he the only pet.Zeus just needs a home willing to invest the time in helping him grow into the fantastic dog he is capable of becoming.
