We will only adopt a Weimaraner to those living within the following states: Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, New Mexico, Utah and South Dakota. If you wish to adopt a Weim from our rescue group, you will need to travel to the location of the dog -
no exceptions. We mostly operate out of Denver, CO, however we have branches in Wichita, KS and Rapid City, SD.

The following dogs are in immediate need of foster homes AND are available for adoption.
 08/20/10 - Lucy K is a 9 year old, fully vetted,female who LOVES people. Lucy is both house and crate trained. She likes to go on walks but she is a puller.
A little bit of work should take care of that. She responds to basic commands (sit, lie down, shake). She can be as energetic as any Weim, but is overall a mature and very mellow dog. Lucy is very affectionate and responds well to people; she really likes to be physically near her people as much as possible. She has not spent a lot of time with other dogs; but when she does, she gets along with them.
She is not good with cats. She has spent time with a small child and is tolerant but prefers adults. Lucy will be a wonderful addition to the right family who is looking for a pretty, sweet Weim.

07/09/10 - Louie is an 80 pound, 8 year old male (but VERY active).
He needs someone that can spend lots of time and give lots of attention. He doesn't care what you are doing, he always wants to help. Louie LOVES to play fetch and will chase a ball at all costs. He is also protective of his ball when other pups are around.
He has been an inside dog for the past four years and would rather have it that way. If outside alone: he enjoys barking at anything that moves and will wonder off if not in a fenced yard or on a leash. He is great with kids from newborn on up and he loves to
snuggle. He also enjoys wrestling and car rides. Louie has some lumps and bumps on his belly that don't seem to bother him. Due to his owner's time and financial limits they couldn't provide what Louie needs and
would like to see him in a better situation. Louie needs to be brushed up on his training but knows his standard: sit, lie down, come, etc.

05/28/10 - Satchel came to MHWR from a shelter. He is a super nice
dog who enjoys the company of other animals and people. He is most likely allergic to corn (like most weims), so a grain free diet is a must. Satchel is 6 years old he has lived with other dogs and children. This gem is house-trained and overall, he is a really cool weim!
Satchel is thriving in his foster home. We incurred 2 weeks of boarding expenses in addition to veterinary expenses for his neuter, vaccinations, HW test, and thyroid test. Satchel is hypothyroid, and will require medication for the rest of his life (cost of $15/month.)
Update 8/10/2010 from his Foster Parents : Satchel is a goofball. He is friendly, loving and has basic obedience skills. His favorite place to be is next to a human being, and he is a big cuddler. He likes to play fetch and gets along well with other dogs. He would be great in a home as an only dog. He doesn't
mind other dogs but he is all about the people. He does have some separation anxiety, so a family that isn't away all day would be ideal. Satchel has hypothyroidism, and does not tolerate grains. He has lost most of his fur, but it is growing back with proper treatment. Since he is a bit
bald, he needs to have a place to hang out that is not in the sun. He is house trained and just an all around wonderful dog. With a little TLC and consistent medication, this guy will bloom in to a fabulous companion!

06/02/10 - Kira and her pal Raif came to
MHWR after their owners lost their home. This blue beauty was born 11/22/04. She appears to be a little visually impaired but not blind by any means! She is good with cats, dogs (no dominant females) and children. She looks forward to daily exercise, plenty of love and affection.
Kira fetches quite well and she LOVES to swim! Update on Kira from volunteer- She is great with children and other dogs, as long as the other dog female is not a dominate female.
EXCELLENT on leash and knows her commands very well (sit, down, heel, etc.) She is great in the car and loves car rides. She always tries to sit in the front!

08/30/10 - Tesla An orange Weimaraner? Nope it is "Tesla the Vizsla" and she needs a new home.
Tesla is a petite 4 year old female . Tesla is a great energetic dog that does very well in most situations. Tesla is well acclimated in the home and can be trusted in or out of a crate. She is very good with cats and with children. Sometimes she gets a little wiggly and may jump but over all very friendly to humans.
Tesla is a great friend as well, as long as it is on common ground. She loves to go to the dog park and will greet, and play with ALL dogs. She reminds us of a social director. Tesla has no problems with diet or allergies, she is spayed, chipped, up to date on all shots including 6 month bordatella. She needs a new home
where she can relish in being the only pet. She is possessive, and guards the human mommy. She has injured our other dogs with bites and cuts. These incidents have all occurred in the home and all around the human mom. She would be a great best friend for an only child, especially if she could sleep under the covers with them.
She will play ball or chase a laser light at night. She likes to go for walks and is really good off leash. She is not ideal for a jogging partner as her hips get tender from time to time. Tesla loves to go camping and is a good house alarm. Her hearing and situation intuition is great. Tesla is very loved but she needs a family that only wants one dog.

08/16/10 - Billy Bob is a people-pleaser.
His foster parent taught him a neat trick after just a few repetitions. He knows his commands: sit, down and stay, and is learning 'no bark.' He also walks very nicely on a leash, and as a bonus, loves to run next to your bike!
If you don't have a bike handy, he also fetches tennis balls and frisbees- what more can you ask for in a silver companion? his eye contact is intense and he bonds quickly to his human. He communicates his potty needs crystal
clear- he will sit right in front of you and just stare. Billy Bob likes to start his days with a walk, followed by breakfast. He's a bit of a stickler for a schedule- if you have 'forgotten' to feed him, he will give you a gentle
reminder by staring intently! He's a good car companion, and not a typical counter-surfing weim. He is also ok if left alone in the home. This guy will never reject a good showering of attention! Billy Bob's fster family is working
on some food-aggression issues with him. He also has a high prey drive, and therefore is not good with small doggies, cats or other small furries
Please fill out an application
through MHWR if you'd like to adopt Billy Bob.

08/23/10 - Scott ,is a young, small, male from Nebraska. He has an outgoing charm and exhuberance for life that shows in his
age of 2 years old. This is a great trate for a weimaraner to have, but as his previous family has found out, this can also be a handful at the same time. This can be especially hard, if you don't have the time, and energy to spend with him. Scott would love for a family that can get him out on a regular basis and get some of that
endless energy out of him that he seems to have. He really wants to show you what an awesome, relaxed weimaraner he can be when he is done having fun playing.
Please fill out an application through MHWR if you'd like to adopt Scott.

08/25/10 - Valentine Welcome !!! Valentine is a young female that we know that has recently been a mom. She has a very sweet temperment as her name demonstrates.

Please fill out an application through MHWR if you'd like to adopt Dougan.

The following dogs are available for adoption.
06/02/10 - Opey is a 13 year young male who was also a trained hunting dog.
He is homeless because his owner fell on hard times and could not afford to keep him.
Used for breeding in his past life, he is now happily retired. Opey is a small guy at only 60 pounds. He is crate-trained, house-trained, gets along great with other dogs and children (lived with kids from baby to 14 years old). No cats!
Opey is in excellent shape for his advanced age. He is very healthy and he knows many obedience commands and he can be crated while you are at work. He'd really like
a new family to spend his golden years with. Nothing matches the love of a senior dog for his/her rescuer!

08/19/10 - Lulu (aka Lulu aka Lulu-baloo aka Lulu-my-love) is an amazingly sweet grey Weim who
is a mature, gentle girl but also has a cute playful side to her. Lu loves to cuddle with her foster parents, play and run with her foster siblings and even enjoys the company of the resident cats. Lulu is past the puppy-crazies so fine with free roam of the house while her
people are out. She has lady-like manners and takes treats gently, knows her basic commands and is a pleasure to walk on leash. She sure does LOVE her off leash hikes too and stays close by. She'll occasionally wander off to explore while following her sassy foster sister but
she comes right back when called. Lu loves her foster siblings...she steals the tennis ball from one, paws at and wrestles with another and plays tug-o-war with another. Lu's found a few favorite toys at her foster home and happily tosses them into the air!
She is a bit overweight(shhh...don't tell her that) but with a healthy diet and exercise she's on her way to getting her girlie figure back. Most of all, Lulu seems to always be smiling and her little tail and booty are always wagging with happiness!
Lulu would love a forever home dedicated to helping her get back in shape, give her lots of belly rubs, trips to the dog park and definitely daily walks! She does prefer an adult household, she's spent time with young kids and really prefers to spend her
more mature years with other dogs and adult humans:) Lu would be a great addition to a first-time Weim family!

03/04/10-Emmitt is a sweet senior who somehow
landed in the shelter. *perfect* weim for a first time weim owner! He gets along great with children and other dogs and even cats! He knows several commands and is a sweetheart!
Update 5/28 from foster family: Such a sweetie! He does so great with all my little pups.
He seems to be partial to my corgi Zoe; he follows her around and they started playing and chasing each other today. It's pretty adorable cause Zoey will try and paw Emmitt in the face with her little stubby leg; she doesn't even get close. (she barely comes up to his knees!)
Emmitt is eating great, he's only 63lbs, so I think he needs a little more weight on him. Last night he slept all night next to our bed on a comforter. But during the day, we've been taking naps together on the bed. He is very polite, and he
just stands next to the bed and couch and waits for an invitation. And when he got up on the bed, he nuzzled his way under the covers. It was too cute! Update from foster family-6/24: Emmitt is such a sweet and well behaved boy. He loves everybody,
but is very gentle, and he does not jump on people at all. He is great with kids, our 13 month old adores him. And he is wonderful with other dogs; even little ones. He is very gentle with our 3lb Pomeranian, and thus we imagine he would not have a problem
with cats or other smaller critters. He does not seem to like the idea of a crate, however, he has been perfectly behaved when left out in the house whenever we are gone. He is potty trained perfectly, and does not counter surf or get into the garbage.
He prefers to sleep on his dog bed on the floor of our bedroom at night, and will come up onto the bed or the couch only if he is invited. (He will occasionally ask for an invitation with one foot though: ) He is an older guy,
so he does have a few small lumps and bumps here and there, but all have been found to be benign by his vet. He knows several commands, and is very treat motivated. He is a couch potato during the day, but has boundless energy when he's playing
in the backyard or at the park. He has very mild separation anxiety, but has been improving greatly. We think that he prefers to have the company of other dogs, but would do okay as the only pet. He would be a wonderful addition to a loving family!

05/19/10 - Annie This beautiful girl is about 8 years old and she was found wandering as a stray in the desert.
We suspect she was someone's beloved pet at one time since she seems to have been well-socialized, knows her manners (other than the occasional counter surfing), she walks good on leash and seems to be adjusted to living in a house.
In spite of that, it is apparent that Annie has been on her own for some time and has some scars to show for it but she is a strong, brave girl who has obviously endured hardship and yet still loves to be loved. You will love Annie when you meet her and she will return that love a million times over.
Annie gets along wonderfully with her foster siblings and while she's enjoying life at her foster home, she sure would LOVE a forever family of her very own. She's a loyal gal, a gorgeous gray shadow that will make
you smile with all she does. Mellow yet fun-loving...what more could you ask for? Annie is mellow in the house, but also loves to trot around the dog park and makes friends wherever she goes. She loves her walks, and loves having her ears and belly rubbed and she'll tell
you just how much she loves it. She's a fairly quiet girl but will bark or talk to let you know if she wants or needs something. Annie loves car rides and is so cute....she, like most of us, prefers to avoid traffic jams. As long as the car is moving, the windows are open and the
breeze blowing in she's perfectly content...if you get stuck in a traffic jam she will bark to let you know that this is just not working for her: Annie's a bed hog! She'll stretch out those long legs of hers and hog the bed if you let her, but if you give her a comfy dog bed nearby
she'll settle for that...although she'll let you know that she'd much rather be in bed. Annie would do best in a home with someone that is home a fair bit or have other dogs to keep her company. She would do fine in a home with other dogs, or as an only dog,
as long her family was around often. She thrives on being part of the family and is such a lover and cuddler. This sweet, spunky girl would love to have a home where she is part of the family. After all she's been through all she wants is a family to
love her and give her all she deserves for the rest of her years. Annie is a gentle, funny, lovable girl and any family that opens their home and hearts to her will receive even more love and appreciation in return from her.
Won't you give this sweet, gentle girl a chance?

04/11/10 - Grover
"Groovy Grover" is a SWEET 7 year old male, but acts like he is 3! He has had a pretty rough go of it so far; he has scars on his back and was not eating while in the shelter. He loves people and other dogs, although he can be nervous at times. He does not like sudden loud noises.
He would do well in a home with structure, and definitely needs a refresher course of obedience training. He tries very hard to please, and is grateful for just about anything you give him. He does appear to be house broken but will need some encouragement to keep this up.
He learned how to use a dog door yesterday and has been going out when our dogs go out. He has a lot of gusto for eating (he is very underweight right now) and should be fed either small kibble or in a muffin tin to slow him down. He is full of love and kisses, and seems to want nothing more than a
little security and some food! He is VERY playful and is enjoying chews and stuffed toys. He is going to be a high energy dog and will need someone who can keep up with his physical needs. Once his weight is up, he will be ready to
go to a forever home, preferably with another dog to be his buddy! 5/6- Update from Grover's foster family- Grover likes agility! He watched our Weim Rosie do the course then copied her. After he was done he politely sat in front of me waiting for a piece of cheese.
He is a smart and loveable guy!

07/09/10 - Prairie Prairie is a gorgeous, sweet 7 year old blue Weimaraner who
just wants to be loved. She may have had a rough past but she's sweet, forgiving and resilient and ready to start over. Prairie's a bit shy at first but she's gaining confidence and quickly learning that there are really nice people here in CO that will love her and treat her right. If you have another dog for Prairie to
learn from that would be best. She watches other dogs around her & is learning how to be a "real dog". Sad but true, she didnt have the same love and fun that our own family dogs have had. It is so rewarding to adopt a dog like Prairie....she's an open book, a clean slate, able and willing to learn and explore all that is put before her!
Praire LOVES car rides! She's just learned how to hop up into the car(before that she had to be lifted in) and she sits up tall and quiet, peering curiously out the windows and taking in the new scents. he also loves cuddling with other dogs and seems to be more confident with another dog around. Prairie has attended a few MHWR
events and has made lots of friends by rolling over on her back and wiggling until she gets belly rubs!She also has done good with all the other dogs she's met, both big and small and hasnt shown much interest in cats. At each of the events she seems to be drawn to kids and is gentle and very attentive toward them. She's a bit
scared of loud noises and sudden movements still. Prairie walks good with a harness and is learning basic commands. Since she was never allowed to live in a house before coming to MHWR, she's still learning how to live in a real home. She would love to have a gentle, loving family that will truly enjoy sharing this journey as Prairie learns how good life can be.

06/02/10 - Raif and his best buddy Kira lost their home!
Raif was born 9/18/04 and was with the same family (including Kira) his whole life. He is out of shape at the moment and longs for daily walks and hikes.
He LOVES to fetch and is a submissive male. He'd prefer the company of another dog. He lived with a toddler and did fine but because of his size he may accidentally knock little ones down.
Update 7/29: Foster Dad:
Raif has been a guest here for 3 weeks. He is entirely way too smart for his (or my) own good. In his short stay ,so far he ,has learned to sit & stay for food, before going out the door (getting better), He does extremely well at the dog park- off leash, just throw him a ball for a few hours and he is happy.
He doesn't have much experience swimming but he will go up to his chest. He comes when called. He does however like to grab food off your plate/table, out of your hand if you don't pay attention. He does good with my other dogs, they are all the same age so they have their little grumble fest
to establish order but so far so good, as for cats he is getting better, he has only "tasted" 2 of my 3.
He will "hunt" for them when ever the chance arises. I don't know that I would ever trust him alone with one but he is getting a lot better around them. He has staked his claim on the couch and the bed although I am trying to teach him to "share".
Raif seems to do well around children and out in public, he is gaining many fans around Boulder and the Colorado Hills dog park.

03/15/10 - Amber is a wonderful loving girl who seems to be poorly understood. Outside, she is energetic and can run around chasing squirrels all day, but inside she is a couch potato.
She is a strong loyal companion and would be best in a home that is familiar with weims. She would be good as the only dog or as a companion to another large breed dog. She would make a great running or exercise companion as she loves to be outside and requires daily activity.
She loves playing in the yard and is learning how to play nicely with other dogs at the dog park. She was a trained hunting dog and see's other small animals as prey. She has come a long way since I first met her, she is very healthy, knows basic commands and is kennel trained. She is always eager to please and extremely food motivated but she requires someone that can be her alpha as she looks to you for guidance and control.
Watch out for the Am(burgler)...she'll steal your heart!!!

Her current owners rescued her from an abusive situation which caused her to be fearful of men. They love her dearly but they can't keep her because she does not like their other pets. Daisy needs a family that will spend time with her, exercise her daily and show her what it is like to be a loved family member.
She does well with older children, she is very gentle and will make a great pet for the right family!

12/27/09 - Mana has seen more than his share of pain before finding the loving arms of Mile High Weimaraner Rescue. He is incredibly timid at first, but once he bonds, he does so with loyalty and love. He is great with other dogs, as well as cats. He would do well with older children, but not necessarily younger ones, due to his aversion to loud noises.
Mana is figuring out how to be a family pet. He is watching his foster sisters, and learning how to play every day. His favorite activity is to lounge, sleep, and cuddle up to a friend. He doesn't lick, even when coerced to. He is house-trained, and very quiet, unless there is something that startles him- and even then he may just run between the nearest pair of legs. In short, he is a thoughtful, tender dog, who is making a wonderful comeback. His foster parents would like to urge anyone who is on the fence to make that leap, and either adopt, foster, or donate to the MHWR. It truly is rewarding, and these dogs have the potential to be wonderful companions.
5/10 update from foster family: They think Mana would be best placed with someone that stays home and can be with him most the day. Mana does not do well around loud noises or voices to it would be ideal if his new family had no children or older children and an older female dog to keep him company.
Mana survived a horrific life before landing in rescue, getting him in "tip top" shape cost MHWR over $500.

06/06/10 - Newton is a 2 year old silver male that was picked up as a stray by a
rural shelter. He seems to have been running for a while as his coat shows lots of weathering. He also may have been tied out for most of
his life as he has no hair on the underside of his neck in the shape of a collar. Newton is a lively, energetic, goofy and very loving weim. He gets along with cats and kids (just have to watch him as he is learning manners about being calm). He is crate and house trained. He has no manners but is learning them very fast. He will need an
active family to help burn his energy. He loves to be outside where he can hunt grasshoppers and butterflies. He also enjoys indoor time with
the family. Newton can't wait to find a family that will be his forever family to share his hugs and kisses!
Please fill out an application through MHWR if you'd like to adopt Newton.

05/20/10 - Allison was born 8/25/08 and an
unsuspecting family bought her as a "White Weimaraner" (which does not exist.) She is a beautiful soft girl, cream in color. A message from Allison: Have you ever heard the saying "don't judge a book by its cover"? That is what my new friend says about me.
I came into rescue with my sister after being relinquished by my previous owners who had bought us thinking we were rare Weimaraners. Well I am a Weimaraner but I get beautiful blonde hair from the Labrador side of the family.
I did not get along well with my sister and didn't have a very nice past. BUT don't judge me too quickly because I have moved on to my new life here in rescue and have a new personality. I am a little tentative of new people and places
at first but just be nice to me and I will love you. My new human friend "Miss Pam" loves to take me for walks, to dog parks and she is teaching me how to be a polite lady. I get so excited sometimes I just love to bounce on people BUT
I have a HUGE grin on my face when I do it so that makes it better ...right? I have a lot of love to give and would love a family that wants kisses, trips to dog parks, walks and if you have another doggie lets meet and see how we do together,
we may become bestest friends. Allison would do best as the only dog in the family. She was not socialized before coming to MHWR and is learning how to behave politely around other dogs. Allison is crate trained and she knows some basic
obedience commands. This beautiful "creamello" girl has a lot of potential and will make a great addition to a loving dog savvy family!
Allison has been in boarding for over two months, waiting for the ideal foster home!

05/20/10 - Daisy is a timid girl who is looking for a new family with male dogs or as an only pet.
Daisy and her sister were originally purchased by a family who were told they were "White Weimadors" (which do not exist). The sisters are in rescue because they could not get along and their family felt it best that they find new homes apart from each other and with other families.
Their loss is your gain, this doll is as sweet as they come! She is apprehensive upon meeting men yet warms up quickly. Daisy was outdoors most of her young life left isolated from human contact and interaction. Daisy has been in plastic and wire crates and she knows some basic obedience commands.
Her tail is docked, she is a pretty light cream color, beautiful amber eyes and she has the softest coat you've ever felt! Daisy is in boarding and would benefit greatly if she had a foster home who could help her to overcome her shyness!

06/16/10 - Zoe Grace is looking for a new place!
She was born 1/1/2009 and is as sweet as they come. She was recently adopted from a local shelter where the adopters were told she was "cat friendly".
Guess what... they were wrong! Zoe Grace loves to chase cats. Zoe is house trained, and currently spends time alone in the backyard while her family is at work.
She is living with a small child and does great with him. Zoe would like a new home home (without cats) that will take her on twice daily walks and will continue to work with her on basic obedience.
She enjoys car rides and being around people. Zoe is a doll and will do nicely in a weim savvy family! * Please note- Zoe Grace will require Weimaraner or similar breed experience, fenced yard, and a minimum 8 week obedience training before adoption is finalized.

05/21/10 - Luka Hi! I am Luka and I was sprung from a shelter where I was turned in by my previous owner who didn't realize that we Weims require a lot of exercise but it wasn't her fault, she just didn't know. I am about 2 years old and still enjoy being a big baby and trying to sit on my foster dad's lap (I am about 65lbs).
I live with my foster family (6 other canine siblings and 3 of the humanoid breed). I get along perfect and know my role well in my adoptive family! I love my Cave (they call it a crate) and enjoy sleeping in at night or when the family is gone for the day. My foster dad says I'm such a good boy because I go in on my own when I'm ready to sleep with other foster siblings that don't listen as well (shhhhh!). I don't complain cause I get to rest a lot, but you know what happens when us kids get too much sleep???? I'm up all night!!! Which is why I enjoy daily walks/runs with my human pack leader.
I just completed my two-week board and train obedience classes; it was like summer camp! I came back with some piece of paper that made my foster dad very proud of me (basic obedience certified). I also have 6 additional private one on one lessons with my new adoptive family and my camp trainer (just so they know how to be obedient like me I guess?) I enjoy getting a lot of exercise and really like car rides, although I wish my foster dad would let me drive sometime! I enjoy running and long walks daily, and do really well on my leash (I don't even pull!....well, most of the time).
I am ok with meeting new dogs, but not too many at one time. I am socially a slow starter he he he. I enjoy the human breed, but wish people wouldn�t shove their faces into my snout all the time. I just put your hand out and let me sniff it first, then we can move on from there (well, then again, I guess they wouldn't want to say hello the way we canines do! Sniff sniff) . I have heard about the younger humans called children but I have yet to meet any of them, so I'am not sure how I'd be around them.
I'am looking for my forever home and would love to have a pack with maybe one or two other older dogs and a human family that loves to do outdoor things. It would be easier for me if my family were Weim Savvy because I am a complicated being and to know me is to love me! Will you be the lucky family that lets me sit in your lap for a few moments???

06/03/10 - Ace is a "weim wanna be" because he can counter surf like a weim and he has just as much energy! He is a border collie/retriever mix who lost his home when his owner could no longer afford him.
7/25 update from foster family: Ace is doing great with 2 out of our 3 cats. He is still chasing our loud noisy cat. Does well with dogs of all sizes and he LOVES kids! Ace has settled down, and while he does enjoy outdoor activities like trips to the park he really prefers to be indoors with his people. He walks great on a gentle leader! He's mostly housebroken. Crate trained. Knows sit, down, leave it, no kitty. We are currently working on stay, back, spin & come when called.
His re-call has improved when he is present in familiar areas, when he is investigating new places it is not so good. His training is more effective when verbal & hand cues are used. Needs tall fence as he can clear a 4ft fence without a running start. Ace is a 55 pound bundle of joy and still very much a puppy. He will require lots of walks and trips to the dog park, the perfect pup for a very energetic family!

The following dogs have an adoption pending and are in a two week trial with their adoptive families.
 07/21/10 - Jessie James Even though my name is Jessie, I'm not part of the Jessie James clan. I'm too mellow for that nonsense. I have a charming personality and I am very calm for a weim.
I'm not a "ruff and tumble" kind of guy at all. I can't believe that I was given the boot just because of the housing market! If you adopt me, I promise I won't be under your feet and I will be your best friend for life. I would love to be adopted by someone who would pet me all day long and take me on walks. I'm very handsome with my sleek pewter coat. Please adopt me, so we can ride off in the sunset together!

03/22/10 - Lilly Sweet Lilly
joins MHWR after she found her way into a shelter. Lilly is a sweet, girl who just "loves to be loved". She wags her little tail stub when she gets visitors and she enjoys gentle walks. She is a real beauty who likes car rides, dog parks and (as shown in the photo
below with her pug foster brothers and sisters) Lilly can drive! Lilly is very special and we feel that she deserves a happy ending with a new family!
5/10-update from Lilly's foster mom-Lilly has recovered nicely from a surgery where she had three tumors removed.
On top of the nice recovery she has been successful on her diet after having lost 6 more pounds over the last month. Lilly is a really sweet Weim who has plenty of energy to run around with little dogs (which she LOVES), yet snuggle up to you on the couch when she is done with her play time.
She is quite vocal as far as helping to communicate the things that she wants, which are playmates, food, water and attention! Lilly will definitely need a partner in crime as she loves to wrestle around on the floor and play with toys. She is not really into counter surfing although,
does take advantage of any extra morsels that happen to be laying around.

08/20/10 - Sebastian is a 4 year old silver
male that was picked up as a stray in Kansas. He loves to ride in a vehicle. We have found out that he is house-trained and crate trained so was probably well-loved in his previous life. He is strong on leash so he will need a training collar or harness to ensure he does not pull, and some off-leash exercise
to chill him out a bit. Sebastian would love a foster home to help him out while he is looking for his forever home. he's a really great guy just looking for a break!
Please fill out an application through MHWR if you'd like to adopt Sebastian.

06/05/10 - Brutus is a 4 year old silver male. He was an owner surrender to a local shelter because the family was moving and could not take him or
his female dog companion. Brutus seems to have been a Kansas farm dog as he is much more comfortable to be outside. He is great with kids! He is house trained and crate trained. He also loves to give kisses to whom ever will get their face close enough! Update 7/28/10 from foster dad: Brutus AKA Velcro -- He is very sweet and loving, pretty much wants to be anywhere there is another human.
He is happy with just a belly rub too. He likes long walks and car rides (especially if you have a convertible). He wants to let you know that dog's rule and cats drool. He pretty much would like to snack on a cat if given the chance.
He can be left alone during the day, although he is an excellent counter surfer, but what weim isn't? I think that he needs another dog companion as long as they get along.
He would also love to go to doggie daycare if you work or just for fun to learn better manners with other dogs.
Please fill out an application through MHWR today if you'd like to adopt or foster Brutus!

03/24/10 - Lucy is simply beautiful!
She just turned 4 and this tall beauty weighs around 82 pounds, she's not overweight just a big girl.
Lucy is a tall and mellow girl. She is house trained and knows basic obedience commands. She enjoys being around people and is easy to take places (stores, large gatherings, etc).
She lays down during car rides and then whenever and wherever you decide to sit. She does well with other dogs when introduced slowly, but she will cower if charged. She likes exercise but does fine with short walks too. She'll also fetch, but she is happy to quit after about 10 min when she gets tired.
She can be left alone for a few hours, but she sometimes gets anxious and barks for awhile.
She is house-trained, crate-trained and she knows several obedience commands. Lucy is patiently waiting for the right family to adopt her!

07/07/10 - Max is a 4 year old gray male who is a trained hunting dog!
His owner fell on hard times and could not afford to keep him.
He is a large male weighing in around about 80 pounds. Max is crate-trained, house-trained, and gets along great with other dogs and children (lived with kids from baby to 14 years old). He can not live with cats so your home needs to be feline free! Max is high energy so daily jogs, walks or hikes are a must .
He knows many obedience commands and Max is used to being crated
while his owner was at work. Max would make a great best buddy for an active family!

04/28/10 - Juno 7/17-Meet Mom of the Year...Miss Juno!
She seems to be taking nicely to "mothering" Angels Puppies. Angel passed away earlier this week and left behind 4, 3 week old pups.
Juno whelped & raised 7 MHWR puppies about 11 weeks ago- all have been adopted. She was once a homeless weim who came to us pregnant, now she is a very famous MHWR mom! Bio written by her foster family: Juno
has been in our home since we picked her up 3 months ago. She was found as a stray in Kansas and was quite pregnant.
She mothered 7 wonderful puppies that have all found new homes, and now it is Juno's turn. She is a mild, very loving little gal. She must have been an in home dog at some time as she is house trained and crate trained.
Juno would make a great addition to a family that is looking for a quiet gentle low energy weim.
Juno will sleep on her bed, but would prefer to be on the couch next to you. Juno is a bit of a counter surfer, but as she puts on weight and is learning that she will get more food,
that bad habit seems to be easing off. ( Juno was quite malnourished)
Juno has lost all of the nasty sun bleached hair she had when she joined out family and is now a shiny soft silver brown. Juno will let you trim her nails and clean her ears. She does have
some food allergies,so she will need to remain on a grain free diet. Juno is good on the leash and easy to walk, loves to ride in the car, and would choose a car ride over a walk any day.
She is good with children and is far more interested in cat food than in cats. If you have a spot for a snuggle bug , she is waiting!

06/02/10 - Gunner B
You have got to meet this boy! Gunner, was left at a shelter because he chased cats. To make matters worse,
his family didn't give him HW pills and he tested positive for heart worm. The shelter could not afford his medical treatment and reality is that he would have been euthanized if not for MHWR stepping in. We could not turn our backs on him so he is happily in rescue and getting the care he needs and deserves. Now he is in boarding and we'd really love to find a loving foster or forever home for him.
He is happy, lovable, thinks he's a lap dog and over the top full of life!! Gunner is house-trained, crate-trained, knows basic obedience and can give the best slobbery weim kisses ever! He's mellow for his age and content to be with his people. What more could anyone ask for?
Gunner spent a weekend in a foster home where he got along great with the other 5 dogs...he even met a neighborhood Pug and liked him too. He was also great with the kids he met, ages 6 and older. So, a home with big dogs, small dogs, kids...all good! Just no cats please:)
Gunner loves his daily walks, loves to play with a favorite kong ball...tossing it up the air! He loves car rides, long afternoon naps, Do you have room in your heart and home for this sweet, deserving boy?
Gunner received his heart worm treatment and will need to be kept quiet for about 4 weeks after treatment. That means leisurely, leashed walks. No dog parks or anything else that will get his heart pumping too much.
What an absolutely amazing chance to bond with your new Weim!!

04/27/10 - Shiloh Blue is a timid 1 year old blue weim who has not been readily socialized.
She is trained to a doggie door and is picking up leash training quickly. She is good with children and other dogs, but we don't think she has ever lived with cats. 5/17: update notes from temporary foster home: She does well with kids as well as small dogs. My neighbor brought his german pointer
over and she really took to Cooper.
Cooper was also abused when Brian found him so he is showing her how to be a dog. She conquered stairs on the first night at the house and was practicing on Sunday. It was really funny to watch because she would just go up and down and up and down........She will go in the crate - though I have to urge her in.
Once she is in, she is very good and never makes a sound.
I think because she has always lived outside, that is where she is most comfortable. She really needs to have a nice yard. We left the sliding glass door open and she would stick her head in and today she actually went up on the stairs and laid down and allowed the girls
to pet her. We can pet her without her shaking now so she is learning what loving hands feel like. She seems to have an issue with food.
It appears she is afraid of getting in to trouble if she eats. I've encouraged her and told her good girl when she eats. I also keep telling her that it's Shiloh's food so she understands. I don't think she has any idea what a treat is until now. She's not food motivated so I encourage her with praise.
*Please note- Shiloh Blue will require Weimaraner or similar breed experience,
fenced yard, and a minimum 8 week obedience training before adoption is finalized.

07/16/10 - Bullet I am a 77 pound guy loaded with charm!
My previous owner surrendered me because he did not have time to care for me, he left me alone and crated 10 hours each day.
I would love to spend my days and nights with you! Note from Foster Family: I must say it is refreshing to have a dog with not a single problem. He has no aggression issues whatsoever and has been wonderful with my 3 year old (which I know can be trying for a dog).
He has no issues with my 2 dauschunds and loves to play and lay with my 2 weims. He is great in the crate and not a single peep all night from him. He understood the doggy door right away and he is house broken. He even understands basic commands already like sit, no, and come.
Very energetic and loves to go on walks. He does hate to be alone. Without another dog next to his kennel he will bark nonstop. If I left him outside; same thing. As soon as I brought another dog for him in both instances he calmed down right away.
Bullet will make a great pet for a loving family with another dog or two around to keep him company while you are away!
Please fill out an application through MHWR if you'd like to adopt Bullet.

08/02/10 - Blue
is looking forward to a second chance! His family did not give him monthly heart
worm pills so he tested positive and will soon have to undergo heart worm treatment.
After he receives his heart worm treatment Blu will need to be kept quiet for about 4 weeks. That means gentle, leashed walks. No dog parks, running or anything else that will get his heart pumping too much. What an absolutely amazing chance to bond with your new Weim!
Please fill out an application through MHWR if you'd like to adopt Blu.

06/16/09 - Woodrow
lost his home after his family had a baby and they took him to a shelter! He is a handsome gray 4 yr old male.
The staff at the shelter say he is very energetic but very sweet. He does like to eat things that he isn't supposed to and that
landed him at the vet once for abdominal surgery. Update from foster mom- Woodrow is learning some manners! He will need a very strong leader with previous weim experience - no exceptions.
Woodrow was never told "no" or given any boundaries.
He does know basic obedience like come, sit, down and will make a very sweet addition to a weim savvy home.
Please fill out an application through MHWR if you'd like to adopt Woodrow.

06/06/10 - Dexter born 12/13/06,
is a 3 year old silver male. He comes to rescue from the local humane society. Dexter is a very sweet 52 pound guy. He is a petite weim with a full tail and a crazy
cowlick down the back of his neck. He is very scared of new situations but seems to warm up fast. He is great with kids and doesn't seem to pay attention to the cats either. A previous owner said that he
would not crate but that is where he goes when he is scared and overwhelmed. A volunteer will spend more time with Dexter and see how things go but I am sure he is going to be a sweet guy when he gets
into a stable home where he can relax and enjoy life and a family.
Please fill out an application through MHWR if you'd like to adopt Dexter Dan.

08/30/10 - Wally is a 2 year old silver male.
He came to rescue after his family said he didn't get along with their other dog. Wally's family turned him into the local vet and paid for him to be euthanized. The local vet couldn't find it in his heart to do it so he called the rescue.
Wally is getting along great with all his siblings at his foster home. He has been great with their 2 year old son also. He doesn't seem all that intersted in their cat either. He has very good manners about
jumping and doing what he is told. He is a vocal boy if he doesn't like something. He is crate and house trained. He is just waiting for a new forever home that will love him! He has tons and tons of love to
give!
Please fill out an application through MHWR if you'd like to adopt Wally.

07/26/10 - Champagne My name is Champagne and I prefer the "finer things" in life.
I was adopted from a shelter by my current family this past spring. They live on a farm with CHICKENS! The chickens were way too tempting for me, and I liked to chase them (which is why I am in rescue). I am a very sweet two year old, who is crate trained and doggie door trained. I get along great with other dogs,
cats, people and children over the age of 5 (I tend to like to sneak food from the toddlers).
I will not make a good hunting companion because I don't like the sound of gunfire.
I am energetic so I need lots of exercise. I'd love to visit dog parks in the city, or hike in the mountains with my new family- without chickens!

08/26/10 - Ernie is a 2-3 year old large, 90 lb, gray, male, Weimaraner. He has come into rescue after being shot, and his front and rear legs were badly injured. Thank you to a caring person, Ernie got to the vetenirarian and veterinary care he needed. He is now resting comfortably in a foster home.
He will be evaluated soon regarding his rear leg. Ernie's medical bill's will be extensive. Please, if you can spare some money towards Ernie's veterinary care, we would greatly appreciate it. Once he recovers from his wounds, he will then be up for adoption. He is currently being fostered in Kansas.
Weims in South Dakota are available through Mile High Weimaraner Rescue and can be adopted if you live in Denver or surrounding areas!
04/10/10 - Smokey is a CHARACTER and he is a happy weim ALL of the time!
He is approx 7 yrs old and was found as a stray, it seems that he belonged to someone because he was overly fed and quite obese. His leash manners are good but he could use some fine tuning. Smokey has been enjoying himself as long as he has someone around. He can be left kenneled or
left running the house provided its "weim proofed." Having another dog around helps Smokey- he has always had another dog, but he may be okay being an only dog. He enjoys car rides, walks, chasing things, retrieving, being playful, and overall being with his family.
It seems no matter what he is doing his tail is wagging and he appears to smile from time to time. You can't help but be happy around Smokey. Smokey would be a good first time weim if you are new to the breed and you have a dog buddy for him to hang out with while you are away! 5/19- Update! Good news! Smokey is down to 78.5 lbs! :)
He started at 90lbs... way to go Smokey! 6/21-Update- Yea more weight gone-Smokey is down to 72 lbs!!! He is ready to stay fit with a new forever family. 7/23 Update Smokey has lost 25lbs overall and is now down to 64.5 pounds! Now all he needs is a family to enjoy hanging out with. Smokey has found a new
interest in playing fetch in the creek. He loves going to the dog park to hang out and play with all his dog buddies. Life is about living and that is what Smokey does best. Now all he needs is a great family to live life to the fullest. He's trimmed down and ready to start fresh. If you are looking for a weim that is an easy transition
into the home Smokey is your boy.

06/13/10 - Flint is
a beautiful weimaraner mix that is looking for a home! He is a wonderful dog, with a great playful side to him that just makes you laugh no matter how bad your day has been. He is good with all people, and appears to do well with other dogs too. He is in a shelter, which has been very full lately.
Unfortunately for Flint, this means he could get put down because of the lack of room so it is imperative we find a foster and forever home for him in Denver!
