He had given up to rescue at age 7, he was so morbidly obese that he was unable to curl into a ball, happily he shed 60 lbs, becoming the most handsome weim we had ever met. Best described as 95% good, 5% misunderstood, we loved him so very much just the way he was. He welcomed us as his his new family with an open heart and a smile. There wasn't a day that passed that Hunter didn't make us laugh. He also had a lot to say...literally!! We are incredibly grateful for the three years that we spent loving him, he taught us so much. Sadly we lost him to bloat, it was so sudden and heartbreaking. He will live on forever in Hearts.

Mozzie came to us a senior special needs foster for MHWR, and he retired with us as a member of our pack. He was an independent, spunky senior who ruled our house. He was our sheriff, our general and our weimclock. He was quirky, just the way we like them! He is dearly missed by everyone who knew him. 

I said goodbye (temporary I'm sure) to my beloved Kix in August of this year. For his 13 years he was my best friend, and the constant companion and witness to my life, happy times and sad, evacuations from hurricanes, and walks that he took me on. I have great memories of his wacky Weim behavior, most involving food. He once got a chicken out of the oven while I was on 30 minute bike ride, and the only thing that remained when I got home was the Pyrex dish on the open oven door, and the guilty look on his face. Another time he ate 2 lbs of pistachios, in the shell, which he managed to retrieve from the top of the microwave, which was on top of the counter. I won't even go into the precautions we had to take because of his interest in the trash. Nothing was safe. Kix LOVED food, and yes....we were on a first name basis with the vet. Kix was truly my shadow, and I don't think I ever took a step without putting my left hand down by my side to find his ear. Although we still have two "kids", a GSP and a Swissy mix, there is still a giant empty space where Kix used to be. Weim lovers will know what I mean.....and if you have never been loved by a Weim, let me just say that you've missed something special. When the time is right, there will be another Weim in our home, and that will be a happy day.

Adopted from MHWR in 2005, Hoss had the best retirement a dog could ever ask for. 'Grandpa' Hoss took such great care of all the foster puppies that came and went and was the most patient and loving a boy could ever be. He will be greatly missed by his family, although they know he is with his other Weim buddies today chasing rabbits and looking for field mice.

A tribute to this wonderful Weim can be found on YouTube.

I adopted Sage from MHWR in November 2008. She was an amazing, loving companion for me for the past 2 1/2 years. She passed away this morning at the vet, after having a stroke yesterday. Of all the dogs I have ever encountered, none was as endearing as Sage. Everywhere we went people were drawn to her and she ate it up...her favorite things were treats and people attention. When I adopted her I was told that she had a pretty rough start to life, being a breed dog in a puppy mill, then owned by a family who was abusive. I learned from the vet today that she had shot pellets in her from a time when someone had shot her. Thanks to the work that you guys do at MHWR at least her last 2 1/2 years were filled with the most love a dog could have.

Max was only supposed to stay for the weekend until a more permanent foster home could be found. Max stole our hearts and stayed with us for the rest of his life. He was always a happy boy who loved his treats and loved going for rides in his truck. No matter what, Max was always excited and happy to see us return, even if our trip was only to the curb and back. The squirrels in the back yard can now rest a little easier. Max will be missed by us all.

Ezmi and her best buddy Ian the Vizsla were 15 years old when they lost their home in a divorce. Due to extreme neglect they both had numerous (preventable) health issues from which they could not recover. Their foster families cared for them both lovingly up until the very end and volunteers were with both dogs as they passed away peacefully. Thanks to the volunteers of MHWR, Ezmi and Ian got to experience kindness and love as they entered into their final journey.
Ezmi we know your heart and soul have found peace and comfort at last, we love you!

I was Angel's foster mom & it was my honor to foster her-she was 100% part of our family & so very loved & will always be in our hearts. Sweet Angel cowered that first day when I met her, didn't know how to walk thru a doorway into our home so we carried her. She didn't know it was good take treats from our hands, she was scared of everything new. Each day she grew stronger, braver, more curious & soon her little tail was wagging instead of tucked away. Soon she licked chicken from my hand & trotted on walks instead of crawling, she perked up when she heard the jingle of a leash, knew the sound of the treat bag, the rattle of her food bowl, & she LOVED cuddling! She'd sleep with her head on my chest each night & wake me with gentle kisses(& she could snore with the best of 'em!). She loved her foster siblings & they miss her terribly. She enjoyed the dog park, long walks, lounging in the doggy pool & belly rubs. I am thankful to everyone at Mile High Weim Rescue for letting me know & love my sweet Angel.

Angel...I love you my sweet girl. I will always be with you.

Last week we had to say good-bye to our beloved Riley. We adopted Riley from MHWC Rescue in December 2005. His sweet personality and charm made us laugh and smile each and every day. He was an active guy who loved to hike, run and chase balls (because fetching meant he had to bring the ball back to us). But he also loved to soak up the sun shining in the back door in his favorite position - on his back with four paws in the air. Based on the number of calls, texts, Facebook messages, cards and even flowers, he was loved by one and all. His "grandparents" wrote "...even when we hadn't seen him for a while, he always greeted us warmly, wagging his tail and looking for a moment of affection. I guess maybe you could attribute that to just being a dog, but we thought Mr. Riles was special." We miss Riley dearly and know he is footloose and pain-free in the mountains above. Riley was our first weim but he won't be our last.
Rest in peace, "Handsome."

Words cannot express the feelings I have as I type this. It was 7yrs ago today that my big grey girl crossed the Bridge, She was an amazing Weim, My Life at the time was a real mess. Trying to raise 2 girls on my own, making enough money to support the girls & myself let alone a dog, But Taylor never cared. She was always there, My Best Friend, then after a few year this got better, where was Taylor right there, we Hunted , did water sports, went camping, never left home without the Grey Girl. She helped with the raising of my girls, was a great guard dog, most of all if I was down or not feeling well, she was right there. She was large by most standards, 27-28 in tall , weight always perfect, coat soft & shiny. In her later years I taught her how to Detect Drugs. She acted more like a tomboy than a female dog. So to you My Best Friend I say I miss you ! Hope life is good there, I know you will be waiting at the Gate with, Brandy( I Setter), Kelley( GoldenX), Horse( Lab-Shep), Zeus-(G.Dane), Zeus(Weim) ,Tucker (GASP), Brady(CoonHound) ,Minnie Pearl.( Dach)
