DC Weim Rescue Event Part 2: GRAYSON'S HEART-WRENCHING STORY

GRAYSON'S HEART-WRENCHING STORY - Grayson is a senior Weimaraner who will be 12 years old in May, 2014. I met him during the DC Area

Senior dog Grayson seeking a forever home

Weimaraner Adoption event on Saturday, March 8 at the Pet Valu in Gambrills, Md. and walked around with him for about 3 hours. He was very gentle, peaceful and kept nuzzling up to me and all of the people he met. 
  Karin Bakken, the manager and and coordinator for the rescue (who has a network of volunteers including us) managers all the dogs (there are 12 needing permanent homes this week), took Grayson in. She brought him and 2 other weims needing adoption to the event. 

 Grayson was turned into the DC Area Weimaraner Rescue on Thursday, March 6 and was scared and confused about what had happened.
   So, why after 12 years with a family would a married couple give up a dog in a breed that usually only lives to be 14 or 15? In short, cruelty.

Grayson's Plea for Adoption

  I learned that Grayson grew up with another dog for his entire life, and the dog recently passed. So, Grayson was grieving, and in his grief I assume he was whining and crying, and vying for attention. I do understand that he started barking, which apparently was just too much for an intolerant, impatient husband in the relationship.
   His family has "issues" and he barked the night before he was taken to the DC Area Weimaraner Rescue. Apparently or the husband threatened to take him to him to the shelter, so the wife drove Grayson to the rescue. Tom and I feel that she should've driven the husband to a homeless shelter and kept the dog.  People are idiots.
