The statuses for the dogs are:

Needs Foster - the dog is in IMMEDIATE need of a foster home

Available - the dog is ready to be adopted

Pending - the dog is in a two week trial with a new home

Hold - the dog is not yet ready to be adopted into a home because we do not have all the information available on the dog

All dogs adopted from Weimaraner Rescue are SPAYED or NEUTERED, current on shots, heartworm tested, and have a microchip implanted. There are NO exceptions.

If you are pre-approved to adopt and are interested in adopting one of these dogs, please e-mail us at MHWC Rescue Coordinator.

If you are NOT yet pre-approved to adopt, please go to our rescue page and download an application packet or e-mail the Rescue Committee to request an adoption application packet. In order to meet a dog one on one, we MUST have an application from you. We do have scheduled Meet-n-Greets in public locations and anyone is welcome to attend those events. Coming to those events allows you to see a large variety of dogs and allows us a chance to meet you so that we can better find a match for you. See our Events page for more information on those Meet-n-Greet dates, times, and locations.

We are no longer adopting OUTSIDE A FOUR HOUR DRIVE from Denver. If you live farther than a four hour drive from Denver, you will need to look to another rescue group to find your new forever friend.

If you live in the midwest or northwest, visit other Weimaraner rescue websites for dogs available in your area.


07/17/08 - Cody is a 10 month old gray male. He is very bright and wants to please his owner but still needs obedience training as he doesn't know yet what this means. Cody's bad habits are counter surfing and jumping up on people, ( nothing that a squirt bottle wouldn't help in training) and other than that, he's a really nice and sweet boy!. He (as most typical weims) has an exhuberant amount of energy and because he is still a puppy, needs to be channeled with daily exercise. Cody is in the process of getting updated on his shots and vacinations and he already has a microchip in him. His prior family found out they are expecting to have a baby and don't have the time and energy that Cody needs to keep him from misbehaving; therefore, they would like to see that he goes to a good home. He needs a secure fenced in yard as he gets bored stuck in a house or apartment all day. Cody is in need of a foster home, please.

07/19/08 - Sadie is a 1 year old gray female who weighs about 65 lbs. Like other Weims her age, she is rambunctious and very energetic. She is in need of some obedience training. At this point Sadie knows her name, especially if she knows that there is a a treat involved. She is quickly learning "off" with the help of a squirt bottle and will do "down" if she is in the mood. Sadie is spayed and up to date on all of her vaccinations. She is very good with other dogs and couldn't be happier when they want to play with her as much as she wants to play with them. She likes to play with squeaky toys, and seems to have the potential to be a Frisbee dog or fetch-a-holic. She is a very sweet girl, but is in need of that special family who will give her the attention, training and love that she deserves. =

07/17/08 - Louie was dropped at a local shelter by his owner about 2 weeks ago. Louie came in extremely sick, but he has gotten better. Louie has developed kennel cough and is still on meds since the first round didn't clear it up fully, but he is no longer contagious. Sadly, because Louie has been in isolation due to the kennel cough, he has gone Kennel Crazy. Louie is still losing weight from being so stressed out. Louie passed his temperament test that the shelter gave him and is a good boy, just lots of energy. The rescue needs help with him. Specifically, a foster home. Even a short term foster would be awesome. If anyone can help temporarily, that would be so awesome.

7/22/08 - Joey is a 1 1/2 yr old neutered male that came from the Humane Society in Kansas. Joey is a very high energy puppy still and a little mouthy...but very sweet. He goes by Jojo for short. He is slowly getting more manners but will need someone with patience to work with him. Joey being a young weim especially has a very high energy level and needs lots of exercise on a daily basis. His foster home is not going to be able keep him because they have decided that 3 dogs is just too much for them to handle. Joey is a escape artis and has gotten out 3 times at this foster home so he needs a secure 6 foot fence at least. The rescue is trying to arrange transport for him August 2. He needs a foster home. Please contact MHWRC... mhwcrsqapprqst@msn.com if you are interested in fostering or adopting Joey.

07/21/08 - Lila is a 5-year old blue female. She is a very obedient girl, and does very well off leash for voice command. Her current family has had her since she was a puppy and got her in North Carolina. She is well socialized and is an alpha female. Lila Loves doggie daycare. She is extremely athletic and can run very fast for long periods of time and hikes perfectly. She has no health problems other than the occasional upset tummy probably from fun things she finds on hikes! Her current family works full time and cannot afford a house with a yard. They feel like Lila needs to be in a different environment to realize her potential and be the best weim she can. Ideally, she would have a yard or open space to run in. She (as most weims) are better off around kids over 8-10 years of age. Lila does have a strong prey drive, but a home with a confident cat might be okay. The family loves her very much and ideally would like to see her in a household where she could be the only dog and get lots of the attention. She would be so happy and get the love that she deserves. =)

07/07/08 - Frisco is a 6 year old gray male Weim. He's a graduate of the Colorado Prison Training Program, and comes with a lifetime of free refresher courses for his new owner. Frisco does ok with kids, but they need to be at least over the age of 6 and understand how to respect dogs. Frisco is a master heeler on the leash (thanks to his fantastic training), and he is a whiz at obedience commands. Frisco knows upwards of 20 commands and does them with ease. Frisco is house-trained, and mostly crate trained. Mostly, because Frisco will bark if crated and has chewed a large hole in the side of his plastic crate. Frisco's main issue is separation anxiety, which we feel would be best handled by an experienced dog owner who works from home or is home a majority of the time, and able to continue Frisco's training with follow-through and a positive outlook. Frisco also needs a very high-quality diet (the prison program recommends Pro Pac), but there are other great diets out there - and diet can play a major role in anxiety. So, Frisco's new family needs to understand dogs, have at least one other dog around, be willing to work on his anxiety & the crate-training, and commit to feeding a high-quality diet. Frisco's owner adopted him from the rescue last summer, and can no longer handle Frisco due to a change in living arrangements. Frisco is in need of a foster home, please.

04/01/08 - Hunter My name is Hunter and my mom calls me Hunter h2o because I love water. I am a good boy who is going to be 7 this year and it breaks my moms heart to have to give me up. I am the most loveable dog and love to get love and give love. I would do good as a only dog in an apartment or great in a house with other dogs. I love kids and cats too. I had a sister weim who I love dearly and I am going to miss. I just want a good home and a nice family. I just want someone to love on and be as good as my mom has been to me. I love the car and toys and can be loud sometimes when you get me going. You have to meet me to love me.

03/28/08 - Galt Hi my name is Galt. I am a one year old, and they tell me I will be a very large male –since I am already very tall.  I am great with other dogs, unknown with kids and a no with cats.  My prior adoptive home had a cat until I "caught" one of their cats – the cat is ok, thank goodness.  I am dobe-marked.  I am house-trained, and learning about the crate.  I have a very, very high energy level; therefore, I probably need to go for a couple of walks during the day.

03/03/08 - Jake14 month old gray male weim. Jake is house-trained, good with other dogs and children. Update: Hi, I'm Jake. My foster people call me Shak'n Jake, because I am a pretty funny and cool guy. I am a very handsome 16 month old gray male. I love just about everyone, make friends with other dogs pretty easily, and would really like to have another dog around my size to play with. (I tend to play a little rough for the smaller dogs.) I am everything you would expect a weim to be: intelligent, confident, energetic, playful and super friendly. My foster people are amazed at my prey drive, I like to flush out and chase birds in the park, and so far I have caught a bird, a snake, and a few of those really big moths that get in the house. I am pretty proud of my ability to catch things and will happily bring them to you so you can enjoy them too! ( I would not be good in a home with cats or small animals). I am really hoping to find a home where my people will harness my abundant energy. I would be a great companion for someone who hunts, runs, hikes or is maybe looking to teach me agility or flyball. My foster people have taught me "sit", "off" and "drop it". I think training is a pretty fun game, and you should see my rump wiggle when you say "good boy". After playing, there is nothing better than cuddling up with my humans and snoozing a bit, chewing on a bone, or getting my belly rubbed. I am still very much a puppy in a lot of ways, and am hoping I can find someone who will take the time to help me be the best dog I can be. I promise to reward you with my endless antics, love and good nature. (These are the best pictures they could get of me moslty because I won't hold still long enough for someone to snap one!) If you are interested in adopting Jake please contact us at mhwcrsqapprqst@msn.com

07/14/08 - Noni is a 16-month-old gray, spayed female Weim. She is a dear, sweet girl! She loves to play, play, play! She loves walks and fetch - in fact, she is a fetch-a-holic! She would fetch continually, if you let her. And, she is so GOOD about fetch - she will bring you a toy, drop it at your feet and wait patiently for you to pick it up and throw it. Noni is about 60 pounds, crate-trained, house-trained and knows some commands: sit, lay down, come, her name. Noni is slightly fearful of new situations, but she warms up quickly and settles in just fine. Noni has shown some submissive urination around men, but it is inconsistent. Given her age, with some continued training and socialization, Noni will make a wonderful companion and family member. Noni loves other dogs and plays with every dog at the dog park! Noni should definitely go to a home with another dog, but preferably a male dog please. Noni would be fine with older children, though she has lived with young children before - she just gets SO excited that she knocks down young children inadvertently. Noni is unknown with cats - she has seen them but seems interested - more than likely it is a curiosity thing. However, since she is a hunting breed she should not be trusted unsupervised with cats until she is properly introduced and socialized to them. Picture coming soon.

4/14/08 - Rebel is a 1.5 year old silver male weim. He was also used in a puppy-mill situation in Colorado, and was given up because he is impotent. Rebel has lived as a kennel dog, so he is crate-trained. He will need to be introduced to life inside a home. Rebel is great with other dogs, but unknown with cats or kids. Rebel needs some TLC and someone with patience and understanding. Rebel is a friendly boy who'd like a place to call home. Please contact MHWRC... mhwcrsqapprqst@msn.com if you are interested in adopting Rebel.

7/23/08 - Tank Hi I am Tank. I am a 2.5 year old silver male weim. Unfortunately, my family home situation has changed and they can no longer keep me even though I am a very sweet boy. My family doesn't want to just to give me to anyone. They would like to see that I go to a family who is familiar with the kind of dog I am ( after all I am a Weimaraner), and all the specific traits and issues with being ME . I am housebroken and crate trained, and I know my basic commands. My family says I am spoiled because they let me sleep in bed (under the covers) with them and they also allow me on the couch. I am good with other dogs and older kids. When I am at dog parks I am more interested in my ball than other dogs though. I can be an escape artist in the backyard if I am not in a secure 6 foot fenced yard. My family doesn't seem to think I have a very high prey drive just given my limited exposure to the families relatives cats and other creatures. Please contact MHWRC... mhwcrsqapprqst@msn.com if you are interested in adopting ME!!. Picture coming soon.

4/07/08 - Rosco 6 year old gray male weim. He was dropped off at the shelter by his owner for being "not good with kids". Rosco has some prey drive and has killed a squirrel. He is not recommended with cats. Rosco does well with other dogs, is house-trained and knows basic obedience. Rosco is not crate-trained, but does fine if left alone in the house. Rosco has until 4/10 to be out of the shelter and he NEEDS a foster home in order to get out. Update Roscoe is now in a foster home. He needs a 6 foot fence as he is a jumper. He is ok if left in a crate, but prefers the run of the house. He's not destructive.

07/18/08 - Allie is a female weimaraner was born on April 26, 2002, she is registered and spayed. From her owners Allie has been with us since she was a puppy, she is very active and follows us everywhere we go, inside the house and outside. She needs to be on a leash if not in a secure area. She is a very smart dog and learns quickly. She knows sit and down but has a really hard time with stay…….too much energy. She can roll over and shake on command. She loves her toys and balls but will disassemble a stuffed toy in seconds flat. She is not destructive and stays in the house all day long, but we do have a doggie door that she uses about every 2 hours. Allie sleeps on the couch, but would love to get in bed with you and curl up. She does counter surf, and has been know to help herself to any treat she can reach. She is fairly good with little kids, she just doesn't realize that she is a big dog. She is OK with other dogs, but not sure about cats. Allie needs a new home due to health problems in the family. She is a very good dog, and will be a loving loyal friend to all in the household.

05/22/08 - Ashlee Hi, my name is Ashlee and on my birthday (6/19), I’ll be 7 years old. I’ve been with my same family all my life and have grown up with the first child and was there when the second child was born. I am very good with kids and have been known to be maternal towards them. I like to check in on them and make sure they’re doing OK. I can be left alone in the house (I’m not destructive); I even leave the kids toys alone (except for the occasional stuffed animal). I am crate trained, but prefer to sleep on a dog bed and usually only stay in the crate if my bed is being cleaned or replaced. I only take people food if it is given to me or left on the floor unwatched – no counter surfing, but I will “patiently make my presence known” if food/treats are present or being prepared. I know many of the standard commands including “gentle, come, sit, back off, and stay (sort of).” My family didn’t have a doggie door, so I asked them to let me out by coming up to someone and staring at them. When they stood up, I would run to the door, and while I was out “taking care of business”, they would wait for me. That’s when they taught me the command “get busy” because sometimes I would get so caught up in the outdoor smells, I’d forget that I’m outside to go potty. While I don’t watch TV, I love to sit with my family when they do – they would often rub my tummy or my neck (which I love) when we’re all together like that. Unfortunately, the baby has severe food allergies, and this spring when the weather got warmer and he started wearing short sleeves, we discovered that his food allergies have expanded to include a dog allergy. I’ve had to stay outside during the day to minimize the allergic reactions… Thank goodness I have lots of neighbors who came by on their daily walks and would stop to visit me. I need a new loving home where I can lay out in the sun on warm days (watch my nose – it does get sunburned) or by the fireplace in the winter. I love to go for runs – if you ride a bike, I will run alongside, off-leash, without straying. As for walks, I hate the gentle-leader head-collar (it irritates my sensitive nose), but do very well with the gentle-leader harness, and will pull if I’m on a standard leash. I believe that all animals are friends, regardless of size or whether they walk on four legs or two. I will often bow down to show them I’m friendly. Oh by the way, I am spayed and up to date on my shots and vaccinations. Please consider being my new family, as I have much love to give back. Please contact MHWRC at mhwcrsqapprqst@msn.com if you are interested in fostering or adopting Ashlee.

04/01/08 - Shadow Howdy - I'm Shadow! A 9 year young and fun gray male weim (birthdate 1/26/1999). I've lived with my current family the past 6 years, and they have really taught me a lot! I'm really smart and know the following obedience commands: Come, Sit, Down, Stay, Bring, Heel, Release, Leave it, NOW (emergency recall) I love adults, but I am not too fond of kids under the age of 10. My current family has a baby on the way and a toddler. I would never hurt the kids, I just don't understand the way they move or why they try to get near me. I'm house- trained and never have accidents. I like other dogs but I don't know about cats. I'm a really obedient boy and want to please you. I'm neutered, up-to-date on shots and in excellent health! I'm only 70 pounds, so I'm on the smaller side for a male weim. My family would like to find me a home before June 2008, and I would like to find a home that appreciates my personality, charm and energy.

01/16/08 - James is a 9.5 year old gray male weim. His owner took him to a local shelter because they have a new family member that is allergic to him. James is a well-behaved gentleman. He's wonderful with kids and other dogs, but he does like to chase cats. James is house-trained and ok being left alone during the day (doesn't get into things or have destructive behavior or barking habits.) Sadly, James is not a candidate for adoption at the shelter because one of his fatty tumors tested positive for histamines. Some times histamines can indicate a mast-cell tumor. However, this is not always the case. The tumor in question is 2cm. There is a protocol that we have seen success with to manage the mast-cell, and it is very inexpensive and simple. Given James' age, rescue would not risk excising the tumor. We are looking for an immediate foster home for James. The shelter has given us until close of business on Friday, January 18th. Please contact us at mhwcrsqapprqst@msn.com if you can foster James. MHWCR can personally vouch for the joys of fostering a senior weim. They give you so much more than you give them, and they are so very grateful.

Update: from foster home: Jesse is doing very well! We are calling him Jesse (James) because he stole our hearts the moment he walked in the door. He is a definite no with cats, but that is ok. He is a mellow fellow, and we like having him around. He likes to play with the other dogs, and we think he likes their company. When he is done playing, he goes to his big fluffy bed and dozes in the sun. His ears and eyes are all cleared up, and he feels like a young man again! He is gaining weight and doing great. We did discover that he is deaf. He communicates really well for being deaf, and once he understands your routinue he is a stickler for it - he always knows when it is time for breakfast and dinner! We think a good home for Jesse would be one with at least one other dog, a doggie door, and perhaps where life is fairly quiet - maybe with someone who is retired. Jesse is happy and deserves a place to call his own in his golden years.

01/28/08 - JC is a 10 year old gray male weim. He's lived most of his life with Lola. He is a NO with cats, but is great with kids and other dogs. He is house-trained and obedience trained. He is used to being left in the house while his owner is at work, and he is not destructive. He would do best with access to a doggie door. J.C. is a very large weim at 110 pounds, and he could definitely benefit from a weight-loss plan and getting on a better diet. J.C. has ear problems, most likely resulting from a food allergy. His owner is unable to afford the food that he needs, and notes that his ear problems have resulted in surgery for an ear hematoma. J.C. does have polyps in his ears from a lifetime of ear infections. More than likely, the ear problems could be easily resolved with a more high quality food without wheat and corn, which are the top 2 allergens for dogs. The Rescue would like to find JC a foster or adoptive home, and get JC out of the shelter. Please!! contact us at mhwcrsqapprqst@msn.com

09/21/07 - Clay is an 12 year old gray, male Weimaraner. He was surrendered by his owner who could no longer keep him. He spent a few days at the shelter, and then the shelter found rescue. He weighs 66 lbs and is current on all his shots. He needs a yard to run in, he does get along with other dogs and cats. This guy is a sweetheart. He needs a foster home ASAP. He is arriving in Denver on Saturday, September 22nd. We don't want to board this sweet senior boy. Update: Clay is a good old boy. He is great with other dogs and still is playful. He has lived his entire life outside and points birds on his own. He was probably someone's hunting companion. He is crate-trained and very affectionate. He's a smaller male, only 66 pounds. He arrived into Denver, and is currently in boarding. He would love a foster home, please!! Clay is very friendly with kids of all ages. Please contact us at mhwcrsqapprqst@msn.com Update: 12/11/07 from Clays Foster Home Clay is doing very well. After watching such a wonderful dog literally starve to death to the heartworms, it was decided to proceed with treating the heartworms. Given Clay's age (he turned 12 on 10/8/07) it was not sure he would survive the intense treatment, but Clay is in amazingly good shape for his age, and his heart was strong and his lungs were clear. So, 4 weeks ago we began the heartworm treatment. Clay survived! And is thriving without those nasty worms. Clay spent 3 weeks in confinement, and has been cleared for light walks. Clay is simply the best dog. He is so sweet and is just happy to be indoors. When he goes outside he loves to rub his face in the snow and roll on his back in the grass. He has gained nearly 5 pounds and still has about 5 to go. He loves food!! He also loves soft, comfy blankets and has helped himself to the couch. He is great left out in the house (as we accidentally didn't close the crate all the way). So, Clay was just sleeping on the couch and didn't get into anything. He is completely house-trained now and goes right to the door when he needs to go out. He is a definite NO with cats, though. He has a very strong hunting instinct. Clay spent some time in another foster home, before the heartworm treatment, and they bought him a handsome red sweater so that he doesn't get cold. Clay loves his sweater, rides in the car and short walks. Clay listens very well and is very friendly. He would make a great companion for those that appreciate a seasoned and well-trained boy. And he's ready to shower his new family with love. We have received many kind donations to help with Clay's vet expenses, however we still have $260 outstanding to our wonderful vet for the heartworm treatment. To donate to Clay's vet expenses, please visit: Update: that all the money has been raised thanks to a very generous local donor!!

05/23/08 - Oscar is a 7 month old grey male weim, he is an awesome dog and is great with other dogs. he is used to living with another dog, but in separate crates. He is crate trained and housebroken. He knows how to sit and has gone on many walks, which he loves. He is full of energy and very excited to play. He is current on his shots and is on preventative medicine for heartworm. We are having a baby and feel that Oscar deserves more attention than we will be able to give him. The perfect home would be one with a big yard and another dog, one with lots of walks or hikes, one where he can be out of his crate for several hours at a time. Oscar is 40 pounds right now, this picture was taken when he was 4.5 months old. Update: from Foster Family Oscar is NOT ok with cats, and that he should NOT be with small dogs. Oscar will only go to a home with previous weim experience. Oscar will need a lot of training, and learning the rules. He is a loving dog, but he needs boundaries and to learn to work for things. Oscar is possessive with toys, bones, food, etc. He will growl at other dogs if they come too close. His foster home is working on this issue and he has improved markedly in just 10 days. Oscar has a lot of energy and will need a home with regular, daily exercise. Oscar is crate-trained and seems to do well being crated while his foster home is gone for a few hours during the day. He probably would not do well crated for more than 5 hours at a time, though. Because of his issue with small dogs, Oscar will not be attending meets and is available for private meetings with experienced weim owners only.

06/17/08 - Peter is the name & being a young Weimaraner is my game. My time was up at the local shelter, so a nice foster family took me home to care for me! I'm laid back & will let you pick me up and love me. Don't you want to love me today? I want to love you! I love kids and other dogs - never seen a cat though. Won't you foster me?? A ride can be arranged from Kansas to Denver, but only IF I have a foster home in Denver. Update Peter will be arriving on Saturday, July 12th and will need a foster at that time. Here's some additional info from his foster home: He is a real sweetheart. He is crate-trained. He's not had any accidents in the house or in his crate, but since we have so many dogs here, we just taken everyone out every couple of hours when we are home, so I don't know what his signal is to go out, but he's very smart so I think he will let his new family know. He is great with food, toys, etc. He enjoys walks and playtime in the yard. Not sure how he is with kids since we don't have any - but would probably be fine as he is very loving and craves human attention.

5/02/08 - Achilles ON HOLD !!I am your typical Weimaraner. I am very active, I love people and attention, I need lots of exercise, I am great with older kids but don't really get younger ones. I growl to let them know that they are getting on my nerves. I really love to walk and run outside. I get along with other dogs when I am off leash. On the leash I am very protective. I need an owner who will be consistent with obedience and patient. I need a strong male influence to let me know where I stand in the pack but I don’t respond to hitting. I would be a great addition to a family who understands what a Weimaraner is all about. When I go to the dog park I might say hi to a few dogs but that’s about it. I really rather say hi to the people. I am house trained and know basic obedience commands (I do have a hard time with stay). I am used to being left in the house while my owner is at work, and I am not destructive-unless the trash is left out in the open (my owners usually lock it in the bathroom) or food is left out I will help myself. In the evenings I usually curl up on my bed and sleep. When it is time for bed my owners put me out for potty and then I follow them up and sleep in their room.

I am very afraid of fireworks and MUST not be left alone on the 4th of July. I usually hide in a closet and shake until they are over. I am very handsome but don't let my looks fool you. I can be ornery. I like to let you know when strangers are close by barking and I have to be reminded again and again to keep off the couch. If you will let me I would love to sleep on your bed. I need the run of the house while you are gone or I might scratch up your doors. I have a nice bed, blanket, collar, and leather leash. I like the Iams lamb and rice formula. It’s easy to find at Target or Petsmart. I am great at sharing my food and even my milk bones but not good at sharing my rawhide bones. I will growl at people and animals if they get too close to my rawhide. I also love chewing on kong toys, I can chew all night if you will let me. I am in excellent health and just need a yearly check up and heart worm medication also bordetella (so I don’t get a doggie cold when boarding). Sometimes a nice ear cleaning is great for me. I am six, will be seven in June but still have lots of life left and act like a young doggie. I weigh about 75 pounds and 80 should be my max weight. I have a short coat and tend to get hot or cold easily. I can’t be left alone outside (all day or all night) since I am so temperature sensitive but if you were to play with me outside all day, I would totally be into that! I am the best fit for a home where someone has the time to exercise me. If I am not exercised properly I will let you know I am unhappy. I really want to find a home that loves me and will have time to spend with me.

06/17/08 - Hank was turned in as a "stray" by what we think was his former owner. He lived a sad life outside in a concrete run, and he developed pressure sores on his backside. The sores became infected so Hank is currently on some antibiotics. Hank is recently neutered and also recovering from a severe double ear infection. Hank really likes human attention and he's eager to please. Hank is currently at a vet's office in Wichita, KS just waiting for a nice foster home to take him in and give him some TLC. Picture coming soon.

07/18/08 - Nikka Hi! I'm Nikka. I'm one half Weimaraner and one half Australian Shepard - aren't I cute??? I was originally in a home with a lot of kids and another dog. When my family downsized to a smaller place, I needed to find another home. I was super mellow with all the activity in my house - so much going on I had a blast. I got a new home a few months ago. A very nice couple adopted me and I love their big backyard. Sadly, I'm kind of bored now. With no kids and no other doggie friends, my energy level has increased and I'm not as happy as I could be. My new couple would like to see me happier and know that I'd be happier if I had a home with a doggie friend and maybe some kids. I love attention and just want to be by a family member's side. I'm about a year old and I'm very good. I am house-broken and crate trained, up to date on shots, spayed, and know my basic obedience commands. I love the dog park and running around with canine friends. I haven't met a cat before, but I'd be willing to try. MHWR is going to help my people find a new home even though they really don't place mixes. If you want to meet me, contact MHWR at mhwcrsqapprqst@msn.com and we'll set up a meeting.

07/16/08 - Belorado About Belorado....Belorado (Bel or Roodles also work) is a 3.5 year old male Weim. He plays very well with children (we have a 2 year old) and other dogs. He loves the car, the outdoors and hanging out at home. He is flexible with his food (no brand fixations) and lives for his rawhide chew at the end of each day. Bad things for Bel are cats and fireworks. He is house trained, not crate trained but is fine in the kennel when we are out of town. He has basic obediance training from which he will: sit, down, stay, wait, go, gentle, off, outside, inside and find-cheap-gas... only kidding. He is healthy, neutered and up-to-date with his jabs. Belorado (was born in Colorado) is a beautiful, powerful, love-hungry dog. There is nothing he wouldn't do for you but like all Weims, he can forget what it is you asked!

Why? We are relocating to San Francisco to a much small property and are going to be on the move for some time. Rather than put him through the upheaval, we have made the difficult decision to find him a new home. We are also on baby #2 - while Bel gets on so well with our 2 year old, he really would prefer if he where much bigger and a lot more sensible!

Contact ..If you are interested or would like any more information please give us a call on 617-784-4389 (Roger) or 617-899-1356 (Melissa) and we will give you all the information you need.

10/25/07 - Trey Dear Future Forever Family: My name is Trey, and I'm a 4-year-old gray male weim. I am a very sweet boy, friendly with people and other dogs. I am house-trained and crate-trained, and looking for a family to call my own and shower my love on. I also need a family who loves me enough to help me slim down and get the appropriate medical attention - my previous family let me eat as much food as I wanted, and I am now about 50 pounds overweight and sluggish. Most likely, I have a thyroid condition that needs treatment; medication is very inexpensive (only about $20 a month), so I'm hoping to find a forever family that can help me get the medicine, exercise, and food control to slim down and become healthy. I will repay you with my eternal loyalty, friendship, and love. I need a foster home in order to get have a chance to find my forever family, so if you can foster me or would like to meet me, please contact June at June with the Utah/Idaho Weim Rescue to meet me as soon as possible. Love, Trey Update: He will stay in Idaho to be placed in adoption Trey is currently in hospice care. Once he has lost some weight and has recovered from his infection, we will be able to place him up for adoption. Trey entered rescue at 150 pounds and is now down to 135 pounds. His ideal weight is 80 pounds. Trey is currently on thyroid medicine and on a high-quality lamb and rice diet. He suffered an infection in his toe and despite several weeks of antibiotics, the infection spread to the bone on his toe. Sadly, his toe had to be amputated to prevent the spread of infection to other bones. His hospice home reports that Trey is doing well, and that he Trey's vet bills are $735 at this time, and he will need extended care in his hospice home.

10/25/07 - Tess Hi! I’m Tess, a 7-year-old gray female weim. I haven’t had a great life up til now – my previous owners let me become extremely overweight and the people at animal control rescued me from a neglectful and abusive situation. Because of my past, I am not very trusting, so am looking for a special family that will help me slim down and feel safe. I am very well trained, including being house-trained and crate-trained. I love the company of other dogs, but love your company most of all. The great people at the Rescue discovered that I really like to get attention from my people, but I am a little shy at first (it’s that trust thing). I don’t know if I like kids and cats yet, but would love to find out. I am in a fantastic hospice home right now because I had a little problem after I got to the Rescue. I was doing great, had lost over 20 pounds, and the Rescue even got me hooked up on some necessary thyroid medicine, which helped with my weight loss. I was just trying to slim down a little bit more to lower my risk of side effects from the surgery to get spayed. However, because I had never been spayed and am a little older, I was at high risk for developing a uterine infection; the vet said those infections were common in older, unsprayed females and sure enough, I developed one! Thank goodness the Rescue was able to get me the emergency surgery (spay) that saved my life. So now I am in a hospice home while I recover from the surgery. It’s a bit of a struggle, and I need some extra attention and medical care. Even though my past has been tough, the folks at the Rescue have told me a forever family is out there somewhere. I know I have so much to offer – my love, attention, loyalty, and undying devotion, just to name a few! Please contact June June with the Utah/Idaho Weim Rescue to meet me. Update:Tess has a foster home in Utah where she will stay to be placed for adoption Her outstanding vet bills still total $580. To donate toward Tess’ medical bills, please visit:

12/17/07 - Tug is a blue male weim and is 10 years old. He is with the Second Chance Pet Rescue in Hayden, ID. Please visit his profile at: Pet Finder: Second Chance Pet Rescue. Tugs ID is 9182554. Their website is Petfinder-Second Chance Pet Rescue To find out more about Tug please phone # 208-664-4106 or email idahocoondog@yahoo.com.

Tugs Bio: UPDATE: 2-09-08. Tug will be coming back to us, as he turned out to be a little more dog than the senior couple that adopted him could handle. DON'T let his age fool you, he's still a Weim, and alot of dog! In 9-4-07. Rescued from a local low-kill shelter in North Idaho. A 10 yr old male, purebred, blue with some minor health issues from a previous "hit by car" accident. Super dog, well behaved and obedient. Looking for someone to spend his remaining golden years with. Excellent with cats, his sister Sage and children. Super housebroke. Scared of thunder and fireworks, but completely gundog trained and excited by gunfire. He is a good "weekend warrior" hunting prospect, possibly for a senior gentleman hunter. He also LOVES the water and lives to play fetch. He was reportedly hit by a car several years ago and almost died. He's missing a toe on his left rear foot and the pads on that foot couldn't stand up to harsh terrain, but he is very healthy otherwise. He did suffer some brain trauma from the car accident, and has had a seizure in the past, but has been seizure free for almost 2 yrs. He is r
