About Dickens

Meet Dickens, a 13-year-old Weimaraner looking for a loving Permanent Foster Family. She came into rescue after her owner moved to a memory care facility, leaving Dickens in need of a quieter home where she can feel comfortable. She's got the charm of an older dog, with a gentle demeanor and those soulful eyes that just pull you in. While Dickens shows some signs of aging with typical lumps and bumps, her sweet personality shines through. She takes time to adjust to new environments but has been adapting well in her foster home. Dickens enjoys the company of other dogs, including her bouncy foster brother, even if his antics can be a bit much. Being a bit unsteady on slick surfaces, transitioning her to a home with carpet or rugs will help her navigate better. She's great on a leash and cherishes her daily walks. Despite having Cushing's Disease, her condition is stable, and she's on medication. She doesn't experience any major issues like excessive panting or accidents. In her Permanent Foster Home/Sanctuary Program, the Atlanta Weim Club Rescue covers her medical needs, while her foster family provides food, water, and a loving home. If you think you could offer Dickens a safe and nurturing environment, reach out today. Each moment is a chance for new memories together!
