DEXTER UPDATE

Our boy Dexter, the young male that came into Baldwin shelter as a stray with a fractured tibia, is heading back in for another surgery. This precocious fella has had quite the rocky road to recovery so far. First, kennel cough, then an infection in his incision, then he decided to jump a six foot wall (landing on some bushes thankfully!).

Now his incision is showing signs of rejecting the metal plate used to repair the tibia. This was confirmed by our surgeon in his post-op appointment a few days ago and will require a surgery to remove the plate. The good news is that his bone is healed so this should be the final piece to his healing journey. Once the surgery is completed, he'll need two more weeks of recovery.

Of course another surgery means more moolah ($1,500 to be exact) so we are reaching out to see if you have any spare change from your Christmas stockings that you might consider sending our way to help cover the costs of the additional surgery.

All donation options can be found here: www.socalweimrescue.org/donate (or use link in bio on Instagram).

THANK YOU as always for your support, we can't wait to see Dexter's happy ending!

As the end of 2025 approaches, we take a minute to look back on our year in rescue.

‼️One thing is for certain: there’s no shortage of Weimaraners in need in Southern California. We are glad to have been able to help these precious souls and could not have done so without your support.

If you’re interested in volunteering, adopting, fostering or donating, we’d love to hear from you! Let’s make 2026 just as great.

Years ago, approximately seven, we helped a homeless man get back on his feet with his female Weimaraner by the name of Bluebelle. Occasionally through the years we have helped by providing food and routine medical for her. Last Friday she went missing. Her owner has actually been housed in an RV in San Bernardino doing a small construction project to stay afloat. Bluebelle means the world to him. She eats before he does. She always comes first and they have a "BOND". Friday he was locking up the job site and Bluebelle was standing right next to him. The next second he looked she was gone. Not to be seen since. She would never leave his side so may have been stolen. We would love to reunite them. Here is her listing. Long shot we know but if any of you find that someone is rehoming a Senior Weim check this first. She IS chipped but was wearing no collar. She always chewed them off.

Senior 9 year old gray weimaraner with lump on left side. She did not have a collar on but I chipped her for him.

A HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS!?!

UPDATE Sunday 12/14/25 We had a wonderful brand new foster step up and take both girls in to keep them safe. This is temporary so now they both need homes! Ideally if they can stay together it is their Christmas wish, but yes, they would do fine apart. Read in comments our followers take on senior dogs. They really are the best most loyal as they grow older. Does your heart have a little space for them?

This is a horrible time to have to give up the two most precious things to you, your two dogs you raised since they were babies. Magic and Shadow are the current victims of a divorce. Magic is 10 and Shadow is 8!!!!! Imagine!!!! At that age having to go into new homes. Learn new routines? Leave the only family you ever knew? They have lived with small and large dogs. Shadow loves to cuddle and have her head under blankets.

The situation is that the owner who has freshly gone through a divorce, has been looking for a place to live that would allow her the two dogs but did her best. No one would allow even one large dog let alone two! She finally had to commit to a place she could afford that does not allow them. She is heartbroken but still wants what is best for the two. They do not have to stay together but boy, wouldn't that be some sort of Christmas gift?! What we need is a foster to get them before the shelter does. Or if you really want a nice pair you can adopt them together! We have no place for them to go right now. We are totally full with no fosters. The older dogs are so easy! They are already housebroken, spayed and trained. They don't need as much exercise as the younger dogs and will be forever grateful as good companions. We are in the process of inputting into our system but until we have a place for them to land they are at risk to be turned in to the shelter. They are currently in Ventura. Does anyone want to meet them? One of them?

Please note that at this time of year we are so very busy with dogs in shelters and owner surrenders. Magic and Shadows owner is NOT threatening shelter for these girls but rather trying her hardest to do the best thing for them. If we can't help them as a rescue, who can? She has no family members to help, no friends to take them in. We only have you, our Weimaraner team. If the owner has no choice but to take them to the shelter in the final hour, guess who will get the first call after they're sheltered and also exposed to all kinds of gnarly upper respiratory nasties? At their age we will do all we can to not let that happen. These girls are EASY! Unlike puppies and young adults.

HOPE UPDATE

Our sweet girl had surgery earlier today to repair the fracture and perform a spay. She’s doing well and recovering in her foster home. She’s in great hands and we hope for a smooth recovery!

Her surgery costs are close to $4,000 so we are very appreciative of all donations received for which will help cover these costs. If you’d like to donate towards her care, we will be keeping the campaign for GivingTuesday open for a few more days (socalweimrescue.org/givingtuesday).

To those who have donated already THANK YOU! Because of your support, we are able to take in cases like Hope’s. It’s hard to believe mere days ago she was in pain in a shelter at risk for euthanasia.

HOPE UPDATE

Look at this poor girl’s X-Rays 😞. You can imagine the pain of this injury…yet (>>>scroll to the last photo) she’s ALL weimie and is a sweet goofy girl. Once we get her fixed up, she’s going to make a new family so happy.

This is our second broken bone case in the past few months so the costs are climbing. If you feel inspired, consider a donation to help cover her upcoming care.
