We adopted Tess from MHWR in August of 2008. We had just had our 12 yr. old Weim put-down (due to illness) and had lots of room in our hearts to give another four-legged sweetheart a forever home. Tess' original owner had sustained severe injuries from an auto accident and could no longer keep her. A work associate took her but did not know the energy level of a 1 yr. old Weim and wanted to 'trade her in' for a less active dog. Instead he chose to surrender her and luckily Tess became ours. She had sustained trachea damage from many hours of being tied-up in her previous situation, and she had no muscle tone in her legs at all. But she was a love sponge!

Tess is now a lovey-dovey, happy, fetch-o-holic, spoiled, muscle filled pooch who has the run of 1/2 acre. Her favorite outside pass times besides fetching, include stalking bunnies (she won't catch them), chasing squirrels, and running after birds shadows as they fly over! She is a source of constant laughter and love in our house. Thank you, Mile High. You guys are the BEST!
