Please visit our website for adoption information and application.
Upon receipt of the application, a Mile High Weimaraner Rescue (MHWR) Volunteer will review the application and check your references. If all looks well with your application, a MHWR Volunteer will let you know if you are a good fit for a Weim. If there is not currently a dog available that matches what you are looking for, your name is kept on a list of possible adopters. If a match is thought to exist, a MHWR Volunteer will contact you.
MHWR is operated 100% by the help of volunteers. The volunteers spend their spare time helping Weims in need find new homes. Our volunteers have families, jobs, and dogs on their own that keep them very busy. They help when they can, so please be patient with our volunteers. If we don't get back to you in a timely fashion, don't hesitate to send a reminder email our way and we'll do what we can to get back to you. We do not have a 'shelter'. All dogs in need of homes are either in their surrendering home, a foster home, or at a boarding facility. As much as we want the dogs in rescue to be rehomed as quickly as possible, we all have time and area constraints that can sometimes slow the process down. Please know that we take rehoming Weims very seriously and want to make sure all of the dogs we place go to the right families. That can take time, so again, please be patient.
There is an adoption fee associated with the adoption. The fee varies based on age and condition of the dog. The average adoption fee is $200.00. All dogs (with the exception of puppies under six months of age) will be spayed or neutered, have a Home-Again or AVID micro-chip implanted, will be current on vaccines, tested for heartworms, and have a veterinary check.
MHWR welcomes a special holiday gift in the form of 8-year old Riley. Riley's owners moved in with relatives but were unable to take both Riley, AND their other senior dog. They badly want him to find a new forever home where he will be loved and cared for. They say that Riley is a good boy who is accustomed to living with another dog, free roaming the house, and using a doggie door. He was crate trained but has not been using a crate recently. Like many Weims, Riley especially loves toys he can remove all the stuffing from, but he is not destructive with other things. Although he gets along well with other dogs, cats are a definite no for Riley. He would also prefer to live with a four-legged friend who won't pester him when he is eating. If necessary, he will growl just to make sure he is clear about that. Riley would really appreciate a warm, comfy foster home for the holidays, or of course, a new forever home!!!! If you would like to meet Riley, please complete a foster or adopter application.
We are only able to adopt our Weimaraners 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, please not that you will need to travel to the location of the dog - we are not able to make exceptions.
Mile High Weimaraner Rescue operates out of Denver, CO, however we do have branches located in Wichita, KS and Rapid City, SD. Lastly, adopters must agree to the following:
Will not to allow the animal to be free to roam the streets or to transport it in the back of an open truck except within a dog crate. Must also agree to complete a mandatory eight-week obedience course with this dog as soon as possible. The animal shall not be used for medical or any experimental purposes whatsoever, shall not be kept chained or tied, and shall not be attack trained or used for fighting or breeding purposes.
