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 knows how to and needs to use the 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. Read more about JC on the
Available Dogs page.

Welcome to Mile High Weimaraner Rescue
Mile High Weimaraner Rescue (MHWR) is an organization operated soley by volunteers dedicated to the welfare of the Weimaraner
breed. MHWR is a rescue group who operates on donations and the support of the Weimaraner Foundation Fund - Rescue Committee,
which is part of the Weimaraner Club of America. When a Weimaraner is placed in a new home an adoption fee is required
in order to help with the expenses of rehoming Weimaraners. Expenses incurred by rescue include: spaying, neutering,
vaccinations, veterinary care, microchips, and heartworm testing. Expenses incurred locally by rescue include:
advertising, collars, leashes, tags, crates, dog beds, books, administrative expenses, etc.
MHWR is located in the Denver, Colorado metropolitan area. MHWR does not place Weimaraners outside of a four hour
drive from Denver. If you want to adopt a MHWR Weimaraner, you must come to the location where the Weimaraner is kept
or arrange for transportation.
We do not have a facility to house the Weimaraners that are available for adoption. Available Weimaraners are kept in
their own home, in a foster home, in a boarding kennel, or in a shelter until they can find their new home.

What is Rescue?
Rescue is a common term in the pure-bred canine world for taking
an unwanted dog and putting it in a family that wants the dog. The
new term that is coming about is "re-homing." Since the
number one reason for people surrendering or relinquishing their
Weims in Colorado is not enough time, re-homing sounds more appropriate.
Sometimes though, the word "rescue" still applies. There
are occasions where a Weim is in a shelter and may be put down because
of lack of space at the shelter or the shelter not being able to
find the right home for the dog. MHWR is dedicated to helping
Weims in the wrong homes or wrong situations to find different homes
where they can be loved and exercised appropriately.
