We initially were going to get a Weimaraner puppy, but after looking through the MHWR website, we chose our dog, Charlee, from her photo and “bio” posted for hopeful adoption. We were impressed with the professionalism of the MHWR. They came to meet us and see our home. They had taken great care of Charlee, finding foster homes for her until we were able to adopt her. They had taken her to the vet to make sure she was given all necessary care and explained to us clearly what Charlee needed as an older Weimaraner dog (she has hip dysplasia and some of her fur had bald spots). They also explained anything that might be of concern. We really appreciated their thoroughness, honesty and help. It gave us the knowledge we needed to continue Charlee’s return to health. Even at six years old, she is bouncing around like a puppy when we take mountain hikes. From the first time we met Charlee, we immediately fell in love with her. She is so sweet and has such good energy. In the four months that she has been a part of our life, she has added love and joy to our home. Throughout the daytime, she loves to nap in the sunshine and just to hang out and relax in the same room with me as I study and do chores. She is my motivation to take advantage of the miles of walking trails that we have in our neighborhood and I love her company as we both get our daily exercise. Every evening, she senses the hour that my boyfriend habitually returns home from work. In anticipation, she becomes restless and paces through the rooms of the house checking for him, props her paws upon the couch to look out the window facing the driveway and barks from excitement at the sounds of any car driving through our neighborhood as one of them might be “Papa.” At bed time, she squeezes in between us to curl up for sleep. As she stretches out throughout the night, she pushes one or both of us to the edge of our queen size bed! But she is so soft and cuddly that we willingly put up with it. Charlee loves car rides anywhere, playing tug-of-war, hikes in the mountains and of course, peanut butter. Everything is perfect with Charlee, except that now we need to buy a king size bed so that we can all three fit comfortably!

Thank you, MHWR, for bringing Charlee into our life! We love her!
