Riggs - Weimaraner Dog for Adoption in Marietta, Georgia

Meet Riggs!
Riggs is a 3 year old, neutered male that is eager to find his new family! Riggs was surrendered to rescue by his family to make sure that he would get the care and loving family that he deserves. He’s had a rough go of it, but he’s ready to bounce forward and find his new family!

As a 3-year-old Weim, he’s a typical “Weimaraptor” (iykyk!) and will need a family that will commit to training and lots of exercise for his body and his mind – but at the same time, he is a gentle soul that wants to be your best friend!
When Riggs arrived into rescue, he was a bit skinny, so our partners at Georgia Canine Rescue & Rehab (GCRR) have been working on getting him up to a healthy weight and learning more about him. Since he’s settled in and healed from his neuter surgery, he gets to start meeting other pups in the play yard, we can’t wait to tell you more about his adventures!

Unfortunately, Riggs is heartworm positive and will need to go through heartworm treatment, which is not fun for any dog, but especially for a young pup like Riggs! He would LOVE to be in a foster or foster/adopt home during treatment so that he can enjoy the comfort of a cuddle and learn to be a couch potato during his recovery!
