I started to foster Zulu in May 2010.   Several months before I got him he was taken to the Humane Society in Washington, D.C., then the Washington D.C. Weimaraner Rescue picked him up after a week or two.  After being there for some time he stayed with a few different people along the way to his new foster home in New York.  After being there for a few months he came to me to foster.   Size-wise he reminded me of one of my last Weims that I had to put down, so much so that sometimes I found myself calling him the wrong name.  At almost 9 years old, he just wanted to be loved by someone who wanted to keep him forever.  After being bounced around to so many different people it did take him some time to trust unconditionally.   Once that unconditional trust was established and he knew that he was there to stay he became very comfortable and happy.  He actually became my shadow.  He gets along great with my other rescue dog, Zoe, and any other dog I dog sit.  He loves all of his stuffed animals and sometimes when I come home, it looks like he's having a party!  At times he will gather 15 or more in one area upstairs.  He loves to go for walks and rides in the car and he definitely knows that he gets a treat at the drive thru at the bank.  His lack of hearing hasn't been a problem and someone in the past trained him with hand signals that he responds to very well.  He has been a great addition to me even at 9 years old!    Donna
