- Stoli is a gray male born on 6/16/2002. He has been with the same family his whole life. He is house-trained, crate-trained in a plastic kennel. He is used to being left alone during the day, and has had the run of the back yard with access to the garage if it is too cold. He currently lives with another dog and enjoys the company of another dog. He has been trained in K-9 companion prison training program, which comes with lifetime refresher courses!
Stoli is very smart and knows over 10 commands. He does OK with older respectful children, but no small kiddos - he does not like his ears or tail being touched or pulled on. Stoli has not lived with cats but chases them, so a home without cats is ideal. Stoli would be a very happy camper if he could have daily exercise, lots of love and attention, and a home with another dog!

- Buddy Boy is looking for a new home because his current owner has health issues. His owner told us he is a great pet that loves walks, vegetables and bones. If you are new to the breed, Buddy would make a great "first time" weim!
He is house-trained, crate-trained (large plastic crate). He can be left alone during the day and he can go in and out via doggie door. He knows several commands including sit, please, go outside, down.
He has lived with other dogs, cats and children. He sometimes jumps up on people out of excitement, so little kiddos could get accidentally knocked over.
He is protective of family members and the house, he'll bark at doorbell and loud noises.
Poor fella has had 3 owners in his life and will be very glad to find his new forever home!

Her family gave her up because they didn't have time for her. She is house and crate trained and looking for a family who will take her on daily walks and include her in family activities. She is a loving weim and likes to be with her people, she would be an excellent companion for a "first time" weim family. She is great with kiddos and other dogs.

- Squirt Born 6/16/04, Squirt is a 5 ½ year old blue male. He is an outstanding dog!
He joined MHWR after his owner's relocated. Squirt was trained at 9 months through “Sit Happens” and he is very responsive to basic commands, such as, come, sit, and fetch. He requires much attention and exercise….usually 45-60 minutes daily. Overall, he is a happy and healthy dog. He is not crate trained and can absolutely not be crated or kenneled in a small space. He is a very fit and healthy 65 lbs. He was a loved family pet and would make a great addition to an active, caring family.

- Zeus In greek mythology, "Zeus" was the god of the sky and ruler of the Olympian gods. Our MHWR Zeus is much less ambitious, he just wants a new loving home with a family who will love and cherish him, take him on walks everyday and one who will give him plenty of healthy food and treats.
When we met Zeus in person we were pleasantly surprised to find that he may have some Cheapeake Bay Retriever in his gene pool. He is a fuzzy teddy bear who would like a yard and if you have a doggie door that would be awesome. He is very strong and needs some "fine tuning" on his leash and indoor manners, but he is SMART and is a quick study! His temp foster mom calls him a party animal, a loving guy who likes to have fun! Zeus weighs about 65 pounds.. more to come on Zeus!

- Ned is a big 4 year old gray male, he weighs about 90 pounds and he is very tall and sleek.
He loves, loves, loves other dogs but NO cats! He is friendly towards children, just would be really excited and may knock over the little ones. Needs some leash training as he has been difficult to walk in the past - however, within minutes of reinforcement with a collar, he was easy to walk and instantly learned what was expected of him. He would make an excellent hunting dog. He's extremely smart and needs a strong leader to show him the ropes and help him be less anxious when left alone. Absolutely NO apartments or condos - he NEEDS a house with a yard. He suffered horribly in an apartment - he could not see out and became extremely anxious. He knows how to open doors, knobs and handles of all kinds, deadbolts and more. He knows a lot of commands and willingly obeys. He is VERY food motivated. He cannot be crated because he is afraid of being locked in small spaces. He is fine left out in the house as long as the counters are free of food. He does not get into the trash. Another dog would be fine for companionship - he gets along with dogs of all sizes and genders and is more of a submissive male. He has lived as an only dog, so with the right home he could definitely be an only dog. He loves soft toys, balls, and playing fetch. He is 100% house-trained. Great dog, just a little diamond in the rough that needs some shaping and polishing.
Ned needs a foster ASAP!!

- Twister There is a Twister in Denver! Twister now called "Luke" had been in a Kansas shelter since 10-19-09. He came in as a very sick and lonely stray.
Twister is approximately 4 years of age, he is very handsome and has a very sweet personality.
A volunteer noted the following: He loves people and large female dogs and gets along with them perfectly. He can not live with cats, male dogs or small dogs.
He needs training to work on a male dog aggression issue. We are not sure what happened in his past to cause this male dog aggression but we do know that his new family will need to be patient while he learns to overcome this obstacle.
Twister Luke is easy going in the house; would like a female dog buddy- maybe another weim? He loves long walks, hikes and car rides.

- Sniper is a gorgeous, very nice, well-muscled and in-shape boy. He weighs about 75 pounds and also answers to the name Gunner. Sniper/Gunner's birthdate is 3/8/06.
If your New Year's resolution was to get back into shape (and you need some motivation) Sniper would love to accompany you on your twice daily walks and runs, no couch potato types for this boy! He is great with large dogs and kiddos. But NO CATS, (or small dogs) he will hunt them if given the opportunity.
He is crate-trained and house-trained knows obedience commands. He may be good for hunting (gun-status is unknown, though.)
Sniper is in boarding and needs a foster home today!

- Prancer was in a shelter for nearly 3 months before he was rescued. He is a 1 year old gray male with a full natural tail. He is very underweight and yet very strong. He will need a dog savvy owner who can
channel his "raw weim energy" properly. He is very sweet and loving. We know that he is good with other dogs and as we get to learn more about him, we will update his profile.
* Please note- Prancer will require Weimaraner or similar breed experience, fenced yard, and a minimum 8 week obedience training before adoptions are finalized.

- Emma is 12 years old and still has a lot of love to give! Her owner left the country and is not coming back for her so she found her way into rescue.
She is a blue 70 pound sweetheart! Ignores cats gets along fine with other dogs. Emma is submissive, good with children, house-trained, loves to go for walks and car rides.
Like a lot of weimies, she will snatch food from kids hands and off counters, and will get into the trash. Emma can be left out in the house if you are a good housekeeper . She really should have a doggie door or walks every 3-4 hours during the day, as her bladder isn't what it used to be.
Emma likes laying in the sun, cuddling, watching movies.
She loves to lay on the couch with you or at your feet as you work on the computer.
Extremely food motivated - easy to train. She knows several tricks!
Overall Emma is in good health and she is currently taking glucosamine for joint support. BONUS, she comes with a lifetime training to Barkbusters.

- Jesse Need a best buddy? Jesse would be great a companion dog for a first time Weim owner, for someone who likes to take short daily walks, and for a person who just needs a best friend. He is a mellow fellow, and you would like having him around.
He likes to play with other dogs, but does not require their company. When he is done playing, he goes to his big fluffy bed and dozes in the sun or lounges by the fireplace. He communicates really well, and once he understands your routine he is a stickler for it - he always knows when it is time for breakfast and dinner! He currently lives in a foster family who has a small boy that Jesse watches over and they are great friends.
We think a good home for Jesse would be one with a doggie door, with someone who works from home or is retired. This boy has a lot of love to give yet and would be very appreciative if you would give him a chance to show you how much!
Jesse and Smokey are "roommates" living together in the same foster home. Note from their foster mom: This is so funny... I wish I had video of it. Jesse takes the rawhide bone and hides it somewhere inside the house. A few minutes later Smokey goes and finds the bone and gently places it back in front of Jesse. This cycle has repeated 5 times in 30 min. I think they are playing a fun doggie game of hide-and-seek. Pretty darn cute!

- Wilson Aha Mr. Wilson...He's something. I've known a lot of dogs in my life - wiener dogs, greyhounds, the mixed breeds, of course the weims but I've NEVER met a dog like Wilson.
Wilson is a lover. Wants to always be with you, near you, or touching you and definitely within sight. He loves to snuggle, get ear rubbies and belly rubbies, and he gives little kisses when he's in the mood. He will curl up in your lap like a little dog and fall fast asleep. He does something funny every single day that makes me laugh out loud.
He's extremely intelligent and puts his noodle to good use. The best way to describe it - you can see his little noggin working through his eyes. He's like a Velociraptor from Jurassic Park - you can literally watch him put it all together. He know where everything is, who everybody is, where he's going, what time things happen (school bus), what days things happen (trash collection), how long certain things take, etc. He thinks things through. He's also very schedule driven and he will let you know when things are off track.
He needs someone who is home all the time or that can take him everywhere. He wants and needs to be with his people.
Why would it be best that he is an only pet? (or with another dog that is very submissive) He's an Alpha - it's a spatial, or proximity thing, not food or treat related. He's defensive of toys when he does play or chew but not in the same way. This totally relates to the first point and being able to see what he's thinking because if you can catch him considering it he will listen if you reprimand. I guess you could say his behavior is unpredictable at times.
He is 11 and some days you can tell he feels like it. I think he has some arthritis issues that come and go or even something more "specific" or genetic with his front legs and feet. He sort of swings them in front and plops his feet down - sort of a heel toe thing. Hard to describe but you can hear him coming by the way he walks.
He is horrible in the car ... unless you let him sit on the front seat next to you. He's a surfer too and will carry anything he rescues from the counter as far away from you as humanly possibly. I found him digging a hole in the yard to hide a bag of coffee beans a couple weeks ago. In sum, this boy would like to retire in a peaceful quiet home where
he can have all of the attention and love you can give, he's a pretty great guy, a little gray grumpy old man! In one of the photos you will see Wilson with his Christmas goose, he is rarely without and his foster mom has had to re-stuff and sew shut about 20 times

- Smokey is a super fabulous Golden Oldie! Her owner fell on hard times and could not afford to feed her much less take her to the vet for annual visits.
She is house-trained, good with kids has been around newborns and up - does just fine with kids of all ages. Good with other dogs. With cats, it depends. She can be good and she can chase if they run. She is house-trained and typically hangs out during the day but is used to people being around. She would make a great addition if you are looking for a companion animal.
She is very mellow, not destructive and you can bet she will be very appreciative to her new family when she is adopted. She is a little "lumpy and bumpy" (like a lot of us in our golden years) but her fatty lumps don't seem to bother her.
Ask to meet Smokey and you will see that "Golden Oldies" don't take anything for granted...and they are always very thankful!
Update from foster mom 8/31: Knows sit, lay down and come and her name. She does walk very nice on a leash and likes to go for a walk but she tires easily due to her lack of general fitness. I have been taking her for 2 short walks a day and slowly I will take her for longer ones as she gets healthier.
I think she is used to having human food in her dog food but she is learning that it doesn't quite work that way at my house..
Smokey is fantastic around children and just adores my 5 year old. She will whine for attention but I have yet to hear her bark. She really is a sweet dog!
Smokey and Jesse James are "roommates" living together in the same foster home. Note from their foster mom: This is so funny... I wish I had video of it. Jesse takes the rawhide bone and hides it somewhere inside the house. A few minutes later Smokey goes and finds the bone and gently places it back in front of Jesse.

- Belle is a blue 7 year old female. Belle's ideal new home would be with a family who has another dog she can hang out with and with a family that is around a lot of the time. She won't make a running or jogging companion because she has an old injury in her front leg that sometimes causes her to limp. Short walks or hikes are fine, but nothing too strenuous. She loves to be where you are, Belle is a great companion Weim.
Belle came to us as a very faded blue 7 year old female, an epitome of a dog needing to be rescued. She joined our MHWR family after a kind samaritan a.k.a. Belle's "guardian angel" arranged for her escape.
Belle lived most of her life confined, isolated and neglected. When we heard how and where she was living it was beyond upsetting and incomprehensible.
If you'd really like a true "rescued weim" Belle may be the sweetheart for you. She is very appreciative of the simple things in life; grass under her feet, twice daily meals, fresh water and soft clean bedding.
Welcome to your new life Belle Blu!
Update from AMAZING foster family 8/19- Miss Belle has come a long way in two months. She has put on appropriate weight and her coat looks healthy now. Belle is housebroken! :-) She doesn't mind the kennel, but prefers a doggie bed or sofa. Belle has adjusted well to our pack of 3 weims. She has learned to sit for treats and comes just like our other "Why-Must-I?-raners".
Belle has found her youth again as she plays with our 2-1/2 yo female, yet settles down when we do.
She walks well on a leash, but really likes the off-leash hikes in the country and mountains. Sweet girl. Ready for her new loving home!

- Hunter If you like to Hunt, this is the weim for you! Hunter's family lost their home and he is now in rescue. He is a 7 year old male , and a trained hunting dog. He is crate-trained, house-trained and gets along with medium to large sized dogs, both males and females. Hunter has been pheasant hunting, has been shot over, points, flushes and retrieves to hand. He hasn't gone in a couple of years, but he really enjoys it. Hunter has lived with children, as young as newborn babies, and does just fine. He is very active for his age and needs consistent, daily exercise. Hunter is used to living in the house and prefers his plastic crate when left alone. Hunter does not counter-surf or get into the garbage (but you do have to put a lid on your trash can!)
Hunter has not lived with cats and given his hunting nature, it is not advised. Hunter is about 65 pounds and on the thin side.

- Echo is a very tall & handsome 8 year old gray male who lived a lonely life of abuse & neglect while tethered outdoors. Luckily, Echo chewed
through his tether and escaped. Echo was found starving (tether still
attached to his collar) with double ear infections, an infected broken
tail, and several open wounds. Poor guy has endured so much; infection
after infection for years on end has left him with ears that no longer
lay flat. Many kind volunteers worked together to give Echo a chance
at a new life. Their efforts have paid off and over the past 6 months
Echo has matured into a great dog. He now knows several different
commands and does well on/off leash. He also now has plenty of spring
in his step and will require regular exercise. He really enjoys
runs/bike rides (rain or shine). He is very well mannered in the
house even when left unattended. If you'd like to give this rescued
Weim a new forever home, please contact us today.

- Alamogordo is a gentle and kind 5 year old gray male. He came to MHWR from a kill shelter when his time was up. He is out of shape and overweight and very ready to begin his new life in Colorado.
More to come on Alamo (or you can all him Gordo) as he joins his foster family! Our volunteer (who just sprung him from the kill shelter) noted that he is just a big, chubby, sweetheart, happy personality and is good with other dogs and kids.
Alamo is now being called Koa by his foster family. Update from foster Mom 2/06-The Koa tree in Hawaii is a big strong tree that was very important to Hawaiians and I felt this suited him. He is an overweight fellow (100 lbs!) who loves cats, dogs, men, women, children- everyone! He loves his food but does not 'counter-surf' or take other dogs food. He is very kind and has no separation anxiety. He sleeps on the couch at night with the other dogs and gladly goes into his crate when I leave him. This is a beautiful dog trapped in an overweight shell. He has a gem of a personality and it's a matter of when, not if, he finds a very lucky home.

- Jitterbug and his weim companion Halle came to us from Texas. He just celebrated his fourth birthday and is the biggest teddy bear you could ever hope to meet. This big boy is the most mellow and gentle dog and just wants to be loved. He is excellent with cats, loves the company
of other dogs (he grooms Halle and licks the i.d. tags on her collar clean!), but above all would prefer to be hear a human. He is considered a "special needs" dog because he has seizures, and may need lifelong medication, which runs about $10-$15 per month. He will also need blood tests about every six months. Because he is only in the early stages of adjusting to his new medicine, it is believed Jitterbug may not continue to have any seizures at all once adjusted. He is crate-trained but it has been determined that it would be best if he were not crated as he is too tall for even an XL crate, and in the event that he should have a seizure, it its difficult to get to him. That aside, he is a real pleasure to walk and handles a harness and leash incredibly well (especially considering that he only weighs about ten pounds less than his foster mom!).
He is good in the car and enjoys going for rides. Jitterbug does not bark, even when alarmed, and would be great for someone who is looking for a sweet, quiet soul. He also doesn't seem to have any separation anxiety and could easily handle his owner being gone for a few hours each day. He loves to cuddle up and watch old movies or listen to music while you are at your computer. His favorite band is Wham! ;)
Jitterbug would be a great companion dog, and he sure is hoping to dance his way into your heart very soon.

- Halle came to rescue with her pal, Jitterbug, after their owners were deployed overseas. She is a very petite and dainty gal, although her foster mom is working on getting a few pounds off her with daily hikes, trips to the dog park, and healthy food. Ideally she will be about 54 pounds.
Halle just turned four years old and just loves life. Every morning she wakes up with a big smile and cannot wait to see what's in store (hopefully lots of squeaky toys and almond butter-filled rubber challenger toys). She is not a hyper weim, however. She likes to be under your chair or desk if at the computer, but she doesn't need you to be petting her. If you ask her she will go to her bed without a complaint. Halle does have a prey drive and it would be best if she didn't live near cats or other small animals. She has been known to hunt birds in the backyard. She is great on a harness and leash and very sociable and friendly at the dog park. She is good in the car and enjoys going for rides. Halle does have some solaris burns on her nose (see the pink color in her photos), which were a result of her first owners leaving her outside for long periods of time with no shade. For this reason, she would best be suited in a mostly indoor home. Halle may have been Hawaiian in a past life, because she sure deserves a '10' when it comes to counter surfing if given the chance!
She is very food-motivated and will do well with further training. Halle would be best for someone who is weim-savvy and looking for an energetic, loyal, sweet, pretty girl to live an active life with.

- Pup is a BEAUTIFUL 4 year old dobe marked female that was found as a stray in a coyote trap.
She just had several teeth extracted because they were broken off (from who knows from what). She had shotgun pellets embedded in her, and the nice man that found her in the trap was able to get most of them out. She is VERY shy. She is crate-trained and house-trained, and loves other dogs. In fact she does great with all animals - cats, ducks, chickens, cows, horses, goats. She does fine with kids, and has lived with children older than 10. She needs a quiet, understanding home that already has another dog.
She is very sweet, and she won't make a good hunter because she has no prey drive and is scared of loud noises. It took her a full day to warm up to her temporary foster Mom. She has the lovely dobe-markings and is quite striking. She needs lots of TLC and nurturing. She cannot be trusted off-leash or at any time left alone in a yard - she does not trust people... yet. She does not know her name and her new family will have the honor of naming this very special and resilient girl!

- 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 really just figuring out how to be a dog. 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.

- Dashing Duke is in rescue because his family divorced and could no longer give Duke everything that a young energetic weim needs.
He enjoys walks, dog parks, car rides and stuffed toys. He weighs a mere 54 pounds and should weigh about 70 pounds when properly fed. He gets along great with kiddos (all ages), cats and female dogs, he does not care for intact male dogs.
Dashing Duke would like a loving, athletic and patient family to take him on daily walks/runs or hikes. He LOVES to swim and would be a great camping companion in the summer! * Please note- Dashing will require a home visit, Weimaraner or similar breed experience, fenced yard, and a minimum 8 week obedience training (and deposit) before his adoption is finalized.
1/23- Update from foster family-Duke is ATHLETIC and has settled in very quickly. He nosed our cat, the cat told him "no" and that was that. He plays very appropriately with the dogs and with toys. He stays off the furniture on his own and he knows sit, down and roll over. He listens well to vocal commands, and what a lover!
House trained, crate trained, he figured out the dog door on his own and rides well in the car.
Now the challenges:
He needs leash work.... easy enough.
Now the super challenge.
He jumps, not on people not on things..... over things. He can leap our fence without scaling it, or touching it. Just jumps and he thinks it is very fun. He will stop when you say "no!" He can only go outside with close supervision.

- Cory is only 11 months old and the first 9 months of his life was spent on a farm in a pen outdoors with his brother Larry.
They had been craving attention and affection for months and we heard that sometimes the puppies did not get food or water. Thank goodness Cory's guardian angel found the puppies and took them in.
Cory is very loving, he does well around other dogs and children, but no cats! He needs a forever home with another dog around to keep him company when you are away. He is house-trained and knows how to use a doggie door- great boy!

- Rosey If you've ever read that poem called "My Foster Dog is Beautiful" Rosie is definitely the dog in that poem!
Rosey's owner passed away and then she ended up at an out-of-state shelter. Rosey had nearly given up on life the day she was rescued. Now, safe in her foster home in Denver, Rosey feels at ease and is happy. She dances for her food, smiles, and loves to be cuddled. Rosey does well on walks and enjoys soft beds. Never once has she offered to get on the furniture. Rosey does like to checkout what is on the kitchen counter, and she is quite agile. Rosey is slimming down and getting into shape. Her fur is glossy and her eyes are shiny. She is crate-trained (prefers a large or XL wire kennel) and house-trained (goes to the back door when she hears the call of nature.) Rosey knows her name, and the commands "sit" and "kennel" - she most definitely knows when meal times are and she eats twice a day. Rosey is a true Weimaraner and has some funny quirks. She prefers to drink water from a clear glass bowl. The hair along her entire back will stand up at various times. While some dogs and people may think this is aggression, Rosey is not aggressive. Rosey does not like other dogs in her face, but she does like to play with other dogs. She does, however, prefer to be the only dog. She has never lived with another dog before, and she is not too keen on sharing her owner with someone else. Rosey tolerates the cats in her foster home, but she is often reminded that she cannot chase them. Left to her own devices, Rosey would give chase and she has a lot of interest in the cats. Rosey will bark when the doorbell rings, when the garbage truck arrives, and at anything "strange" in the backyard. She listens well and will quiet down when asked. She loves you to talk to her and her favorite time is dinner time, when her foster Mom is cooking. Rosey will sit patiently by the stove and listen to her foster Mom. Rosey does fine in the car and in new situations. She is a wonderful dog and would do well as an only dog in a home without small children.

- Dee My name is Dee and I love living inside a house!
I’m still getting used to the movements and sounds of my foster parents as they move around in the kitchen and get ready in the morning.
My foster mom thinks that I’m doing an amazing job of adjusting after just 4 days in my foster home. I love to sleep on my dog bed at night next to my parents and my foster sister, Josie.
I would do really well in a house where someone works from home or is retired because I get nervous when I’m alone. I would also really like to have another dog around because it’s comforting to me. Currently, I follow my foster sister around because I think she knows what to do inside a house.
I’m great on a leash and like to walk right next to my foster parents, just to keep a close eye on them! I do not chase birds or small animals, so I probably wouldn’t be a good hunting dog. I’m a very sleepy girl, so I do not have to be in a very active home, but if you like to go on walks, I’d love to join you!
My foster mom thinks that I haven’t had a lot of sleep in the past, so I may feel more active in the future when I’m all rested up! I’ve heard about these “forever homes” and I think I’d really like one. I’m a gentle, loving girl who would be a great companion!

- Curly is a 6 yr old gray weim looking for a fresh start.
His previous owners can't give him the time he craves and have decided its time for Curly to have the best things in life again.
The best things in life for Curly really are simple luxuries: a couch, a bed, a backyard, daily walks or runs, going on outings, having a person by his side...and maybe even a doggie sister or brother or a kitty- he is great with cats!
*a note from Curly* I just wanted to say that I'm a good boy and I really need a family to love me. I know these days time is short for busy people, but if you could make the time for a simple weim like me, and have the room for me in your family I'll love you unconditionally. Sincerely-Curly

- Bella Vita
is a beautiful and blue 4 year old who came to MHWR after her family lost their home. She is crate-trained, house-trained, good with cats, children and other dogs.
"Bella" has been the only dog in her family for most of her life so she would do great as either an only pet or as an addition to your canine family. Like a lot of dogs,
Belle needs a fenced yard with a doggie door and daily walks. She can be left alone in the house as long as the trash is put away and you don't leave food on the counters.
Bella Vita is a sweet girl and very loving, she loves to cuddle! Foster Home Update: She gets along very well with the two resident male Weims. She loves to snuggle on the couch and in bed at night. She is very quiet even when the rowdy boys are barking. Bella loves to play with toys, especially tennis balls. She likes to go outside, but would rather be in your company. She needs some coaching to go into a plastic crate, but once inside, is very quiet.

- Asher Hi my name is Asher and I am 3.5 years old. I am very loving and know all my basic commands (sit, down, lay, stay, bed & shake) and I am very well behaved. I am house broken and crate trained. I love to go on car rides, but my favorite things in the world are going for walks, getting my belly rubbed. I'd enjoy chewing a bone on my bed beside your chair and most of all playing fetch! Do you hunt? If so I will point out any birds in the brush for you. I would love to find a great home that would let me do all these things. I have been around kids of all ages, but I can’t live in a house with other dogs or cats.
Asher needs to be only dog and she needs a new family with patience, willing to work with her issue of dislike towards other dogs. 1/1/2010-update from her foster Mom. Asher is a doll! Playful, eager, smart, a good listener and loves to please. She loves fetch, with any toy or ball. You throw it, she retrieves it and drops it at your feet. She is fully crate-trained and enjoys her crate. Often, she will put herself to bed if it is past 9:30pm. I call her personality plus! She responds very well to your voice and constantly looks to you for direction. She has seen the cats, and at first, she barked at them. She never approached them or gave chase. She doesn't stare at them either. I think with the right cat, she could adapt. Plus, she is easily corrected with an "ah-ah" sound and immediately sits, facing you, to find out what she should do next. Her house manners are impeccable - she does not get on the furniture and has never had an accident. She prefers to be where you are and is quite content to hang out. She has not shown aggression towards the other dogs in the home, but our interactions and controlled and limited (erring on the side of caution.) I believe her issues stem towards guarding the toys against the other dogs. She has played with one of the dogs very nicely. She is a dream to walk - no pulling! Whomever adopts her will have an amazingly well-trained, mellow, sweet girl. BONUS, she comes "fully loaded" with her XL plastic kennel, 2 collars, 2 leashes, a chuck-it and tennis balls, bowl, plush XL bed, toys and lots of love.

- Xeena is a sweet 9 month old gray female. "Z" is house trained, crate trained (she sleeps in it at night) comes when called and can sit on command.
She needs a little work on the stay command. She walks best with a training harness. She is good with kids and other dogs (in fact she does best with other dogs around), NO Cats. She is an amazing loving girl who prefers to be in the company of other dogs when you are not home. She would make a great addition to an active home!
* Please note- Puppies require a home visit, Weimaraner or similar breed experience, fenced yard, and a minimum 8 week obedience training (and deposit) before adoptions are finalized.

- Jet was found running out by the airport in a town in MN.
Turned out his ID tags said he had owners but they didn't want him back- how sad!
His owners said he came from a puppy mill and was used for breeding, he is around 7/8 yrs old (great age for a weim) and still has lots of energy to burn.
Update 12/06/09-
Jet is a very shy and unsure weim. You can tell that he has never experienced life outside of a kennel as he is unsure of a lot of things.
He has made progress in the past couple of weeks, but he still needs time to adjust to the new surroundings in his life. One thing for sure he does enjoy the companionship of his human, as he enjoys snuggling on the couch. Not to mention he'll perk up for treats and good food. Jet would do best with a family that is patient and understanding, and can help him see the world with his tail wagging.

- Citori is a 4 yr old female weim who sadly was given up by her owner due to lack of time to spend with her. We know a little about Citori and she is a real treasure. From what we've noticed she is good with cats, kids, other dogs and has lady like manners. She's been hunting but only for companionship...she doesn't have any interest to hunt herself. She is good roaming the house provided she has the attention she deserves before you leave. 2/6- update from foster family: Citori is a great snuggler. If you are looking for a family weim that has the whole package and is ready to go then Citori is your girl. She is leash trained and is working on learning to run and has been loving the adventure of the outdoors. She could use some perfection on her basic commands, but she's a lady and still knows her manners. All you gotta do is meet her and you'll fall in love with her loving affection. For more info or to meet Citori contact Lindsey at sdweimrescuerc@yahoo.com.

- Duke is a good family and companion dog. Sometimes he likes to bark at you to be sure you hear how much he likes to be by you. He's got a quirky personality and gets a lot of comments on his good looks.
One of his funny flaws is he gets really excited when its feeding time and becomes a kangaroo hopping all over, he eventually will sit and wait, but its funny to watch him bounce. Duke is another rare weim that can live with cats, so he is not a hunting dog.
We feel that an ideal home for Duke would be one that has a family-aside from being able to care for his basic needs- home most of the time; can take him on of car rides; and if you are looking for a unique weim companion, Duke is you dog! Please email Lindsey at sdweimrescuerc@yahoo.com if you'd like more info on Duke.

- Sid My name is Sid and unfortunately I'm back in rescue because once again I need to find a new home. My owners have fallen on hard times and are no longer going to be able to care for me. I'm a sensitive weim who needs to be in a home where my owners understand my separation anxiety. I love kids, enjoy other dogs and bonus I can live with cats. I like to go places with my people but don't like being left behind very well. I can be a big boy and be left but I need a routine and a safe place to stay while your gone(and typically not the kennel as I like to escape). I'm three years old and really want to find a home to settle in forever. I can't be a hunting dog as I don't like the loud noises. I'm a really mellow weim whose looking for a loving family that can love me no matter what the circumstances are.
If you can foster or would like adopt Sid please contact Lindsey at sdweimrescuerc@yahoo.com.

- Moose is a 70lb 2 yr old black weim/lab mix that found himself in the shelter one too many times. He has lots of energy and would do great with an active family or if you are looking for motivation to get in shape..Don't let that energy discourage you though as he does have his down time and enjoys a good snuggle.
He is a quick learner and is picking up on basic commands, but will need a structure home to remind him of his manners. Moose is showing potential signs that he could be a hunting dog as he will retrieve a pheasant wing and track it. Currently Moose is fostering with an older male weim and older female blue heeler and he is great with them, but could use a dog that has the same energy so that he could play more with them.
Since he shows a lot of interest in cats we are not sure he would do good living with one. Moose also loves kids. In fact he knows his manners all the time (without being told) around his human 2yr old foster sister- they are best buddies! Moose is house-broken, kennel trained, rides great in the vehicle, playful, leash trained with a gentle leader, and is ready for his forever home. To meet Moose or find out more info please email Lindsey at sdweimrescuerc@yahoo.com
