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.
Ten-year old Buddy has just arrived at MHWR from Utah. Sadly, his owner was no longer physically able to care for him. Other family members tried to care for Buddy until they realized that he would have a better life with a family that could give him more time and attention. Buddy is currently in a temporary, short-term foster home with baby girls and other small dogs, and he is doing great. His foster mom describes him as a totally chill, easy going, low maintenance Weim who just wants a cozy place to lay around and enjoy some love and affection. He is comfortable going in and out of the dog door and does fine in his crate as well. He has been left unattended, and he is no problem as a free roamer. Buddy is quite the foodie, so he is crated during meal times so he isn't tempted to rob plates. Buddy is a fantastic guard dog as well. He is a little sensitive to sounds, so when he hears some type of rattle or the ice fall from the ice maker he barks to let everyone know he will protect you. He has been fantastic with the baby girls in his foster home, and he seems to really enjoy having the Pugs around. Buddy will be happiest in a foster home, so if you are willing to give Buddy a safe place to land and some much appreciated TLC, please let us know by completing a foster application. You'll have the pleasure of a happy, mellow, lover of a Weim.
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.
