Mile High Weimaraner Rescue Mile High Weimaraner Rescue is a non-profit, 100% volunteer based weimaraner rescue in Colorado.

MHWR is located in Colorado, however we have branches in Wichita, KS and Rapid City, SD. We will only adopt a Weimaraner to those living within the following states: Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, New Mexico, Utah and South Dakota. If someone would like to adopt a Weim from our rescue group, they need to travel to the location to transport the dog. We do not have a facility to house the weimaraners that are available for adoption, we are a foster based rescue.

✨ Happy Tails, Lucy! ✨

Here’s the feel-good story we all need right now 💜

Lucy, a 3-year-old sweetheart, came into rescue as an owner surrender—and like so many cases, we quickly realized there was more going on than we’d been told. Nothing we couldn’t handle… but we sure wish folks would just be honest from the start!

After settling into rescue, we discovered Lucy was dealing with a few medical issues. But did that scare off her adopters? Not even for a second. 🙌

They embraced her completely—learning that she has some incontinence and will need to be on daily meds (Proin) for life. On top of that, she required a major dental that hadn’t been caught by the vet she initially saw. Through it all, her new family stepped up with open hearts and open arms.

Lucy is an amazing girl—gentle, loving, and a wonderful hiking and walking buddy. And now she has the perfect home, where she’s accepted and adored exactly as she is.

💖 We are so grateful for adopters like these—the kind who don’t expect perfection, but simply want to love and be loved. Thank you for showing Lucy what true commitment and compassion look like.

Here’s to many happy, healthy, love-filled years ahead, sweet girl.

🌈 💔 Rest in Peace, Sweet Chico 💔🌈

Last night, we said goodbye to our brave boy Chico. His little body just couldn’t keep fighting—but he did not leave this world alone. Both of his separate devoted fosters, Brigette and Kyle, were by his side, holding him close and surrounding him with love until his very last breath.

Chico was just 9 months old, but in his short time, he knew the kind of love every dog deserves.

Brigette and Kyle each went above and beyond—each giving him safety, comfort, and stability in different stages of his journey. They poured their hearts into caring for him, and when the time came, they stood together to give him a peaceful goodbye. We are endlessly grateful for their strength, compassion, and commitment. Chico knew he was cherished, because of them.

While we still don’t have a confirmed diagnosis—many tests have come back negative—we now suspect an environmental pathogen may be to blame. It’s something hard to detect and even harder to treat. What we do know is this: Chico mattered. He was deeply loved, and his story has touched us all.

Run free, sweet boy. You were wrapped in love from start to finish. 💜

We’d like to invite our wonderful village to share their appreciation in the comments to thank Brigette, Kyle, and the many incredible foster families out there! We couldn’t do what we do without you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

🚨 CHICO IS BACK IN THE HOSPITAL 🚨
We need your help again — this sweet 9-month-old boy is now battling pneumonia, and his vet care costs are climbing fast. We’re working to raise $5,000 to cover his current stay and lifesaving treatment.

Just a few days ago, Chico was turning the corner — eating, cuddling, showing that signature Weim sparkle. But then his condition took another scary turn.

🏥 He’s now at Evolution Vet in Lakewood, receiving oxygen and around-the-clock care from a phenomenal team.

Here’s the silver lining:
💉 His CBC numbers looked better than expected, giving the vet real hope.
💨 Within one hour of oxygen, Chico perked up — walked around, looked for food, and soaked up love.
💪 That spark made the vet dig in even deeper — this boy is not done fighting, and neither are we.

But we can’t do it without you.
Please consider donating toward Chico’s emergency care today — even a few dollars makes a difference.

Let’s rally for this brave, goofy, cuddle-loving pup. He deserves his chance to grow up, chase squirrels, and live the happy life we promised him.

🌟 Chico Update: He’s Feeling Better! 🌟

Our brave 9-month-old boy Chico has turned a corner and is feeling more like himself today — eating, tail wagging, and soaking up every ounce of love from the amazing emergency vet staff. 🐶💕

We’re not out of the woods yet — he’s still undergoing testing, and we don’t have a diagnosis — but there’s hope on the horizon.

🏡 Now we need your help!
We’re urgently looking for a foster home with no other dogs (just in case this condition is contagious). Chico is wonderful with people of all ages and is an absolute cuddlebug.
📍 Must be in the greater Denver area
📆 Need coverage for the next 10 days

Even a short-term foster could make all the difference right now.

💸 We’re also still working to raise funds for Chico’s emergency care and diagnostics — total costs are expected to reach $4,000 and we’re not quite there yet. Every donation helps us fight for this sweet boy’s recovery.

Just days after saying goodbye to his sister Ashlynn, 9-month-old Chico has now been rushed to the emergency vet after also beginning to suffer seizures. Our hearts are breaking.

Like Ashlynn, Chico had a rough start to life—and we had hoped his rescue story would be one of healing and second chances. Now, he’s facing a terrifying unknown.

🩺 Chico has been admitted for urgent care and diagnostic testing to determine if he’s facing the same rare condition that took Ashlynn from us. The vet bill is expected to be $4,000, and we need your help.

We know—we just asked. And you showed up so beautifully for Ashlynn. But now her brother needs us too. We can’t bear to lose another one of these sweet pups without fighting for answers and hope.

If you’re able to give anything—even $5—it will go directly to Chico’s emergency care and testing.

And please, keep Chico in your thoughts tonight. He’s a tender-hearted boy who’s been through so much already. He deserves a chance to grow up, to run and play and be a goofy, healthy Weim like he was meant to be.

We’ll keep you updated. Thank you for walking through this with us. 💜

🌈💔 In Loving Memory of Ashlynn 💔🌈

Yesterday, we shared that Ashlynn, a joyful and gentle 9-month-old Weim pup, had begun experiencing sudden and severe seizures. Despite fast action, dedicated care, and the best veterinary support we could get her, Ashlynn’s condition worsened rapidly—and last night, we had to make the heartbreaking decision to let her go.

The specialist in Grand Junction walked us through every possibility, and none offered hope for a meaningful recovery. The most likely causes were devastating.

What we do know is this: Ashlynn was deeply loved.

Her adopter stood by her side, holding her close through every seizure and heartbreak, and ultimately helped her pass peacefully and pain-free, surrounded by love.

To him, to our incredible team (especially Amber, who got her to vet care quickly, and Sabrina, who supported Ashlynn and her dad), and to everyone who donated to support her—thank you. Your compassion gave her every chance.

🩺 Ashlynn’s final vet bill is $1,600, and thanks to your kindness, we’ve raised $800 so far. If you’d like to help us cover the remaining costs, you can donate here:

This is the hardest part of rescue—but it’s also where love shows up the strongest. We held her, we fought for her, and when it was time, we let her go with dignity.

Run free, sweet girl. You were loved every step of the way. 🕊️

🐾 One of Colorado’s newest residents, sweet Ashlynn who just up from El Paso by way of NM with her brother Chico, needs help.

Ashlynn began having seizures earlier this week, (video in comments) shortly after receiving her vaccines. She came from an extremely stressful situation, so we are not sure what the trigger was. If it is a reaction to the rabies vaccine, that is an extremely rare response. She will be heading to vet for a full analysis and work up ASAP, but as we all know that is not a cheap visit!

We need help fundraising to get Ashlynn the tests and treatment she desperately needs. Early estimates put us at about $6000. This sweet 9 month old hasn’t gotten the chance to enjoy her family or experience Colorado! Can you contribute to help her?

🐾 Meet Thomas: A Good Boy Who Needs a Great Human 🐾

Thomas is a 6-year-old Weimaraner with a big heart, a brilliant mind, and a few quirks that make him… well, Thomas. 💜

He’s been through a lot, but thanks to the incredible dedication of his foster mom, Mary, this cautious, clever boy has made huge progress. Mary has poured her heart into his care and training, and now we’re looking for someone special to pick up where she so lovingly left off.

✨ What Thomas Brings to the Table:
– Loyal to the core (we’re talking full-on Velcro dog vibes)
- Super smart and eager to please
– Low-key energy for a Weim—happy with walks and short hikes (with plenty of breaks!)
– Solid recall when built through trust and practice (Mary’s been working hard on this!)
– Dog tolerant, not dog obsessed
– Fully house trained
– Has a wicked cute lean when he loves you

⚠️ What He Needs in Return:
– A calm, confident, dog-savvy adult home
– An adopter willing to continue consistent training, especially around guarding behaviors
– Someone who understands he’s selective with new people—especially unknown men—and may be protective at home
– A fenced yard or access to secure areas while recall continues to grow

Thomas doesn’t need perfect. He needs safe, stable, and experienced. He needs someone who sees the gold underneath the cautious exterior—and is willing to help him feel secure enough to shine.

🐾 This is a dog who will bond deeply. Who wants to do right. Who deserves a patient, loving human to help him finish the journey Mary so beautifully started.

Think that might be you? Or know someone who gets dogs like Thomas?

💌 Reach out. He’s ready.

🐾The 3-3-3 Rule of Adopting a Rescue Dog🐾

Adopting a dog is life-changing—for you and for them. But remember: for rescue dogs, coming home is just the beginning of a big transition. 💛

That’s where the 3-3-3 Rule comes in:

📆 3 Days to Decompress
Your new dog may be scared, shut down, or overstimulated. They don’t know they’re home yet. Give them time to rest, observe, and just be. Don’t rush it.

📆 3 Weeks to Learn the Routine
By now, they’re starting to realize this is a safe place. They’re testing boundaries, learning your schedule, and figuring out what’s expected. Patience and consistency are everything!

📆 3 Months to Feel at Home
This is when the magic happens. Their personality blossoms, their trust deepens, and the bond starts to truly form. They’re not just adjusting—they’re belonging.

✨ Every dog is different, but all of them need grace, time, and love. If your new rescue seems nervous, clingy, wild, or unsure—take a deep breath. This is part of the process. You’re building trust, not perfection.

Let’s normalize giving dogs the time they need to become their best selves. Because a little patience in the beginning can lead to a lifetime of love. 💜

🩷 Sweet SMOKEY is still looking for her forever home!!!

Yes, she's likely a lab-mix, but that doesn't take away from how friendly and beautiful she is! Don't let that prevent you from considering her for your family!

She is 9months old and crate and house trained. She walks well on a leash and does not jump on people. She was the STAR of our meet & greet at a restaurant recently, greeting everyone and enjoying the attention. She's great with all people including kids, and loves dog friends. We aren't sure about cats yet, but she's super trainable and eager to please so we think she would learn.

This sweet girl will be a wonderful addition to any family! Fill out an application at MHWR.org/info and we'll give you a call to talk about it!
