Foster Selena is front and left 😆 to celebrate her playmate’s birthday at Dog Days and Cat Naps! Selena goes to daycare once a week and she loves it! We’ve been in a holding pattern with Selena for several months as we work through some medical stuff! Early on she was losing protein through her urine, so we’ve been troubleshooting that, including multiple UAs, lepto tests, and ultrasound. We haven’t found a cause (which might actually be a good thing!) and after rechecks that number is going down. We’re hoping it will spontaneously resolve itself! We never rush a foster out the door, we want to make sure we’re clear on their medical needs before they move on to their final home!

We are looking for the right match for foster Athena!

Non-negotiable:
✅She needs another stable dog.
✅Some who works from home or is home most of the time.

My name’s Athena and I turned 5 in April. I came to Iowa Weimaraner Rescue because I have separation anxiety and my family was worried they weren’t able to give me the best life possible. I’ve been in my foster home since The end of December 2025 and have adjusted well. I get along with the resident dogs (a Weim and a husky mix).

I had kids in my old house and my foster mom has a niece and nephew that come over a lot and I do great with them!
I am hesitant when meeting new people and can take some time to warm up. Same goes for new dogs. I’m usually a little nervous, especially when they’re really excited.

I have gone to doggy boarding when my foster mom was on vacation and I did well as long as I was with my doggy foster siblings, so I’d probably do best in a house with a canine buddy. I’m not sure about cats, the only one I ever met ran away before I could introduce myself.

I do have separation anxiety, I’m on Prozac and I’ve been working on it. I can stay home comfortably for about 4 hrs but much more than that, I start to get anxious and bark a lot. I’m not destructive, just really vocal. I really don’t like the crate. The one time I was in it at my foster mom’s I drooled a lot and tried to scratch my way out. My foster mom prefers applicants have someone who is home most of the time. I.e. Work from home or stay at home parent.

I know my basic commands, sit, wait, shake, and at meal time I sit and wait until my foster mom say it’s “OK” to eat. I walk pretty well on a gentle lead but if I see a squirrel or rabbit, I’m probably going to try to chase it.

I’m over all a great dog, I just like to be by my people as much as possible.

We’re thinking of alum Harley’s dad. Last week, after 13 years, Harley crossed the Rainbow Bridge. 🌈 Harley was there for every milestone for the last decade. A move to CO, marriage, another dog, two crazy boys. He was was the constant in all of it. Good boy Harley. Well done. 💜
