Rowan update
Rowan, originally Beck, came into our system in 2024 and through no fault of his, he didn't find his perfect home until earlier this year. WAC Rescue thanks Adel K. for her support in fostering Rowan twice until we found the best match.

Here is the latest from Rowan's dad, David L.:
Rowan is doing great with me in Calgary. He enjoys his off leash walks spending the time exploring his surroundings. Sometimes he meets up with one of his many friends and he plays the game of catch me. At night he's happy to cuddle up with me and sleep by my side. He is a great addition to my life.

Thank you, David, for giving Rowan such a good life!

After 12 years as the National Coordinator for WAC Rescue, it’s time for me to step down and pass the leash to someone new. This decision was not easy, as this role has been a significant part of my life.

During my time as the National Coordinator, I have experienced many highs, seeing Weims find their forever homes and witnessing the dedication of volunteers across the country. There have also been challenging and heartbreaking moments, as is to be expected with rescue work.

Working with the WAC Rescue team to find loving homes for Weimaraners has meant a lot to me. I'm proud of what we have accomplished over the years and grateful for every foster, adopter, transporter, donor, and fellow coordinator who made these successes possible.

I'm pleased to introduce Michelle Elke as the new National Coordinator. Michelle brings great energy and experience with Weimaraners and dog training, along with a genuine love for the breed. I know the program is in excellent hands moving forward.

It will take some time to transition everything over to Michelle, so please bear with us as we navigate this change. Although I will be stepping back from official duties, my heart remains with this breed, this organization, and its mission, and I will continue to support WAC Rescue in any way I can.

Picture of my Weimaraner, Caspar - the reason I got involved with WAC Rescue even though he was not a rescue puppy. He passed in Dec 2022 and I miss him every day.

UPDATE 8 Oct 2025

We’ve been working hard to get a couple of potential homes vetted for Simon and it turns out that one of his caretakers has become too attached and will keep him. This is great news for Simon as he has known this person for years. But it’s a little sad for those who were hoping to add Simon to their home.

Thank you to all the volunteers who have helped or were willing to help us find the best home for Simon.

Male Weimaraner available for adoption in Ontario

Simon is an 8-year-old male Weimaraner available for adoption in Ontario, seeking a new home after his owner passed away. He is a well-trained, affectionate, and intelligent dog with a calm demeanor and enjoys activities like walking, swimming, and playing fetch.
Simon was a service dog for an injured veteran, learned about 800 commands, and currently responds to basic commands such as "no," "come," "stay," “sit” and "heel." He is well-behaved on leash and does not exhibit separation anxiety or destructive behavior.
He is friendly, seeking physical contact, and is adaptable to new environments. Simon is calm indoors, does not jump up on people, and shows interest in wildlife without pulling on the leash. He tolerates grooming and enjoys car rides.
Simon is a big, muscular dog with a wide chest, slightly overweight but in good condition, with some stiffness in his rear legs affecting his gait. He may have some hearing loss in one ear.
We believe Simon would do best in a home without young children or other pets due to his potential prey drive and discomfort with being sniffed from behind by larger dogs. He would benefit from an active lifestyle with access to a fenced yard or safe outdoor space, as he is interested in wildlife. Simon is used to living in small spaces and we think he would probably adapt well to city life.

Please submit an adoption application if you are interested in Simon.

Update: All totes have been spoken for. Thank you to everyone who has asked for one.
WAC Rescue plans to get a fundraiser going later this year so keep an eye here for details.

We have 8 of these tote bags. Six of them had to be washed and shrunk!

We’re asking 10$ for each unshrunken bag and 5$ for each shrunken bag. We would also ask you to cover shipping costs if outside of the Calgary Alberta area.

All proceeds will go to the WAC Rescue fund.

We have 9 of these books which will be sent out to our next adopters.

Or, if you are a recent adopter and want one, send us an email at [email protected].

We’re looking for a volunteer to do a Dog Assessment in the Peterborough, Ontario area. We do not need a foster home at this time.

Simon is an almost 8 year old Weim whose owner recently died. Once the assessment is completed, we’ll post more info about Simon and what his requirements are.

If you can help, please submit our volunteer application here:
