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's newest addition is 3-yr old Valentino, which means brave and strong in Italian. Poor boy had to be brave and strong, as he was found "roughing it" as a stray and has recently been in a shelter, waiting for rescue! We don't know a lot about this handsome boy, but what we do know is all positive. Like most Weims, he seems to respond well to love and kindness. We will know more about Valentino in a couple of weeks, but if you would like to meet him or foster him, we will arrange a personal introduction. Let us know by completing an application. Valentino, you are in good hands now, and happy days are ahead!!!!
Valentino is best as an ONLY pet.
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.
