Welcome to Mile High Weimaraner Rescue

Mile High Weimaraner Rescue (MHWR) is an organization operated solely by volunteers dedicated to the welfare of the Weimaraner breed. MHWR is a rescue group who operates on donations. 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, heartworm testing, collars, leashes, tags, crates, and dog beds. Expenses not tied directly to any one dog include: advertising, books, and administrative expenses (e.g. printing and mailing).

MHWR is located in the Denver, Colorado metropolitan area, however we have branches in Wichita, KS and Rapid City, SD. We will only adopt a Weimaraner to those living within the following states: Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, New Mexico, Utah and South Dakota. If someone wishes to adopt a Weim from our rescue group, they need to travel to the location to transport the dog. 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.

Puppies? If you are interested in adopting puppy from MHWR; we do get them in our rescue program occasionally. We don't list individual puppies on our website if they are under 6 months of age. PLEASE APPLY ONLY IF YOU MEET THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA: 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. Thank you!

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.
