Success Stories > 2010 Successes > Jazper
I want to thank Tri-State Weimaraner Rescue for connecting us with Jazper's owners who were giving Jazper up as they were a growing family with a small home and no longer had the time to devote to Jazper.
Jazper has been a wonderful addition to our home. We lost our previous weimaraner, Miranda, in September 2009 and were so grief stricken we couldn't bear to seek a replacement until now. It took me a while to get the adoption application completed and submitted. Jazper's photo and information were posted on the website but quite frankly, I wasn't impressed as he looked homely in the photos. But in one of the photos he was posed wearing sunglasses just like our Miranda did so that broke the ice for me a little bit.
We were interviewed and during the interview we learned that it looked like Jazper was going to be adopted before we could meet him. But, that adoption fell through and after it was explained to me that Jazper was a laid back sweet boy, that convinced me we should meet him at his owner's house. One look at the boy and it was a classic "no brainer." He was more handsome in person and the photos hadn't done him justice. We went through the motions during the interview with the owners. But to me, it was a done deal as soon as we caught sight of him.
Jazper has been with us for nearly three weeks. Despite a couple of glitches that we were warned to expect, things have gone about as good as possible. Jazper is everything we wanted in replacing our beloved Miranda and we could not be happier. The boy is lying right near me as I type this and we will be heading out for our evening walk as soon as I am finished. I have attached a few of the many pictures we have taken of him playing and at rest.
Thanks so much for getting us hooked up with Jazper. He truly has found his forever home.

We adopted Jazper last June 13 - Here he is all excited about Thanksgiving. I kept a log and we have put in over 400 miles of walking since he came to his forever home. We adore him and he has been exactly what we needed after losing Miranda September 6, 2009.
