I personally want to share something with all of you who follow us. Mostly those of you who hesitate, are on the fence, those that are maybe a tiny bit fearful who are thinking of adopting but just not quite there yet. This is the story of Mowgli. I’m not sure if you remember him but he was with us for many months. Passed over and forgotten … we’re not sure why. Because he had white paws? Square head? Probably not a pure weim? All of our dogs need you. Take a chance… Mowglis new mom did and here is her story and tribute to Mowgli who has had more adventures in his year with her than I’ve had in a lifetime. Because I know Mowgli, it brought me to tears knowing how he’s loved. This is truly what rescuing our dogs is all about.

This is from his mom Norma:

“Then & Now: Mowgli 💛

Photo 1: One day after arriving in Portland.
I still remember this look. His eyes were wide and searching, his face serious and uncertain. He seemed confused, cautious, and maybe even a little scared. Yet still sweet! Everything he had ever known was once again changing, and he had no idea who I was, where he was, or what would happen next. He looked like a dog carrying questions that no one could answer for him.

Photo 2: One year later.
Look at that face! 🥹 Bright eyes, a sweet smile, and pure joy. This is a dog who now knows he is safe. A dog who has learned that our home is HIS home love resides here, car rides are now connected to adventures that are fun, and that he belongs. He has settled into his little life here, our daily walks, our hikes, our routines, our quiet moments together. He relaxes freely because he no longer has to wonder if he’s okay. He knows he is. 😇

Watching Mowgli transform from an unsure, scared soul into a happy, comfortable, and relaxed boy. Creating that bond over time and watching him learn to trust me has been one of my favorite honors. My happiness isn’t in what I’ve done for him, it’s in seeing him happy. Seeing him smile, rest peacefully, and simply enjoy being a dog fills my heart in ways I can’t put into words. Mowgli is sweet, gentle, wickedly smart and very obedient.

This sweet boy doesn’t owe me anything. His trust, his comfort, and his joy are everything. I lucked out with this gentle soul💛🐾

Happy Friday, followers and fans! 🐾

We need your help! We are currently overflowing with wonderful Weimaraners and urgently need to find them forever homes so we can make space for several dogs on our waiting list. While we are so grateful for all the applications we receive, many are coming from thousands of miles away or from applicants whose lifestyles aren't the best match for the specific dog.

For example, we often receive requests from wonderful, elderly applicants hoping to adopt puppies or dogs under two. We completely understand the desire to avoid the heartache of an older dog passing first, but placing a high-energy, young Weimaraner with an owner who cannot keep up with them sets both the dog and the adopter up for failure. Even young, highly active adopters find this breed challenging!

We have plenty of sweet, calm older Weims who would make perfect companions for our senior applicants, but often those adopters only want to meet the youngsters. Additionally, we cannot ship dogs sight unseen.

To ensure every adoption is a success, we have a few important guidelines for all potential adopters:

Meet in person: You must be willing to come meet your new family member and personally transport them home.

Physical compatibility: Adopters must be physically able to manage and care for the specific dog they are adopting.

Resident dog meet-and-greet: If you already have a dog, they must be included in the meetup. Even the friendliest dogs have specific personalities, and we need to ensure they will get along!

Our goal is to never set a dog or a family up to fail. If you are ready to open your heart and home to a Weimaraner, please check out our available dogs and application process at:

If you live in Southern California and are pausing your adoption plans because summer vacation is here—please remember that the dogs in our fosters don’t get a vacation. Right now, they are hoping today is the day they finally get chosen. The need for adopters is critical. A rescue dog won't mind spending a few days with a loving pet sitter or at a fun doggy daycare while you travel. They don't need a perfect schedule right away; they just want to know they finally belong to someone. Please don't make them wait until autumn. Adopt now and give a rescue pet the ultimate destination: a forever home

Meet Waylon! Waylon is an incredibly sweet, easygoing boy estimated to be around three years old. Recently sprung from the shelter after being found as a stray, this amazing pup is already hard at work stealing the hearts of his northern LA County foster family!

Personality Highlights: Mellow & Cuddly: He has a calm, laid-back demeanor. His favorite activity? Breaking out of his shell by burrowing deep into soft, fluffy blankets.

Smart & House-Trained: Waylon seems to know exactly how to behave in a house, showing off his excellent manners with zero accidents!

Car Ride Champion: He did a fantastic job on his car ride once he realized the vehicle wasn't going to devour him. He features an adorable docked tail and is a blank canvas ready to learn. We are learning new things about this clever boy every single day, so stay tuned to see what tricks he has up his sleeve!

Waylon is fostered in the north LA county area near Palmdale...

STILL Needs a home!!! Such a lovely mellow boy!! Foster says he is the best well behaved dog ever!


Waylon is out of the Lancaster shelter! Still a little d***y from his surgery this morning. But yes, that is carpet below his feet, not concrete or dirt. Please fill out an adoption application if you are looking for a nice, mellow boy. Shelter estimated his age at 3.

Johnny is out of the shelter! He is a big, strong, goofy puppy. A bit of panic when he reluctantly got in the car, followed by him starting to relax. First stop a visit to the vet to assess his happy tail. The vet is hopeful it will heal on its own, so off he went to his foster home. It's always possible they stopped for a puppuchino on the way...
Let us know if you would like to take Johnny home!
