A Few Success Stories!
Though there were many more attractive dogs in the pound that day, Shadow was the
one that came home with me.
 As I approached her cage, she stood up on her hind legs, twisted
her head around until she could get her nose through the chain link, gave me a sniff and a lick and
I was sure I heard her say, "Get me out of here!"

Her physical recovery took time, and so did her emotional healing.  She was terrified of everything
from linoleum to men in hats.  But I knew she had spunk and will, evidenced when she removed
her own spay stitches, in spite of her protective plastic collar, leaving just one for the vet to pull out.

Shadow and I have bonded through training.  She has done field work, canine freestyle, basic
obedience, agility, therapy dog training, and tracking, which she loves beyond reason.  Shadow has
passed her Canine Good Citizen test, been certified as a therapy animal by the Delta Society and
joined the East Bay Regional Park District Companion Dog Patrol  We must have hiked hundreds of
miles together in our work with the district and on the San Francisco Bay Weimaraner Club's
monthly Weim Walks.  In our spare time we still train in tracking and I hope one day to add a
tracking title to Shadow's name                                    .....Sandra
Shadow went to a
new home
in
Forrestville with a
wonderful family.
Here's a family.  These
boys are going to be
great frisbee-throwing
partners for Shadow,
who can leap like
Michael Jordan!
We want to let you know how
wonderful our dog Winnie is

and how much we enjoy her.  
She is happy, healthy and just
loves everyone to pieces. Winnie
has several dog friends and cat
friends. It was a long wait till we
found her but it has been so
worth it. She is our constant
companion, walking, in the car,
in the bed, and mini vacations.
Beau is doing great. I think he
experienced snow for the first time
in his life this past storm. He wasn’
t sure what to think of it, but now
he seems to like it. with the other
dogs. He sure likes to do tricks for
treats! I didn’t realize that he knew
how to roll over until a couple of
weeks ago when I came home with
a treat jar that I bought at Costco
for him. He is so gentle with
everyone and all the other dog’s he
comes in contact with.
Poppy has a
wonderful
temperament
and
she is just one lovely
girl.  Thanks again.
Best to you and your
great group of Weim
guardian
angels.....Barbara
We adopted "Sammy"  2
1/2 years ago.
 He is a
wonderful dog!  He is great
with all kids and other dogs.  
He loves to swim for hours
when we go camping.  He
gets compliments
everywhere we go about
how handsome he is.  Every
chance I get, I tell people
that he is a rescue from Nor
Cal Weim Rescue.
Dante  is lovely, polite, patient,
doesn't bark, rides REALLY well
in the
car, has some separation anxiety, walks on
all four and still likes the occasional coffee.
He is still fragile in the health dept....but I
suppose he will always be so. He seems
perfectly aware of his limits, and curtails
his activities as needs be. He is great on
hikes, does well with horses, and likes
water....but nothing at all in this world can
grab his attention like a bird.  He also likes
glazed donuts. Go figure.
Blue is FABULOUS!  We are
having a wonderful time with him
and I think this living situation
really agrees with him too.
We just wanted to give an
update on Mattie,
the Weim we
adopted back in June.  She is so
bonded with our other weim
Scooby and they are the best of
friends!  They get to go on a mile
walk in the country at least
without a leash.  We just got back
from an outing at the beach and
she wore herself out chasing all
those darn seagulls! Birds drive her
crazy! Thanks for a great dog and
Scooby's best friend.                               
        ...Leslie and Case, Lemoore, Ca
We love and enjoy Gus so very
much. He has grown into the best
dog ever. ... Thanks again for Gus he
rocks!                                Victoria
I'm sending a couple of photos
that may help answer your
question about how Ari is
adjusting.
Ari has on Max in the
first photo. By the way, I am keeping
her. Max would never forgive me if I
didn't - he likes the back support and
has her very well trained.  Thank
you for bringing Ari into our lives.      
                         ...Wanda, Max and Ari

Hi... I just wanted to
get you an update
on my sweet baby
girl,
Jill. She's so
cuddly and sweet
Tucker has found a
wonderful home with a
trainer who knows how to
work with him, and bring
out the best he has to offer,
including lots of love.
We are so very happy to have Willie…..He is doing
great tonight - he's staying on his blanket and not
bothering his wrap, yet!  I was thinking I may put the
cone on when I go to bed in case he decides to do some
midnight licking … thank you, thank you, thank you!
Here's a picture of Oscar with my
daughter that I just took today.  
We're enjoying him very much!
A picture is worth a thousand
words.
Buddy &  Anicca are
in love and so are we.
Here's pictures of Heidi and
my family at the beach as
promise.  She  LOVES the
beach and by the second day
was running in the waves,
playing with the other dogs
and chasing seagulls.  Heidi
affectionate and intent on
getting to know each
member of her new "pack".
Silver has been great!  He's still a little shy of the cat Oscar,
although I have gotten them to lay with each other.  He and
Buddy are getting along like old friends.  I have taken him for a
couple of walks already, and he is very well behaved on the
leash.  I also found out he likes to play catch, and retrieves very
well!  I think he's still a little unsettled, as he won't leave me
side, and tries to lay on my lap, he's a little too big for a lap dog!
lol, but it's cute, and I'm sure once he starts to settle in for a
couple of weeks everything will be all good.  Again I just wanted
to thank everyone                                                .......Thanks, Terry
Everything is going well.  Belle is
the sweetest dog in the whole
world.
 Everything about her is
love and sweetness.......She gets
along great with our other Weim
Dylan that we got from NCWR as
well.  They love each other and are
inseparable and my two kids love
her very much.                                        
 .....Thanks,  Peri   
Just read your message and wanted you to know that
everything seems to be going just fine.
Zoey and Dutch have
settled in like brother and sister.
He is a very good boy
and we are glad to have crossed paths. He is one of the family.
We needed Kemi just as much
as she needed us.
 She has made
herself quite comfy at our home.  
She takes up residency on my lap
every evening and she loves her
daily runs near Quarry Lakes in
Fremont.  We just celebrated our
one year anniversary and look
forward to many years of loving
companionship with her...Carol
Here are two pic's of the
boys (all 3 of them)
Zeke
runs like a horse,
its
pretty funny. Blazer and
Zeke run each other to the
ground. Its great. Zeke and I
have been working on our
"hear" command. He listens
great when I have food in
my hands! Oh well. Hope
you have a great
holiday....Maria, Eric and
Dustin
New Year and to send a couple
of photos of Bella.
She is an
amazing dog, she gives us great
joy, laughter and love every day
(including her little love bites in
the butt!)  Thanks for bringing
Bella into our lives, we love her so
much!  Best Wishes, ...Julie,
Bruce, Sarah, Collin and Bella
Oscar looks like
he's going to be a
good big brother
to Scarlett.
Smokey is doing well and
having fun! We are loving him
and he is adjusting to our family
also his extended family of dogs.  
We took him to our family's ranch.
So many places to run he barley
slowed down long enough for me to
take a picture....ROXANNE
Just wanted to send you a
picture & update on Myler.

He has settled in well, just like he
has always been apart of the
family. Our one cat Heidi & he
have become the best of friends.
And as you can see he loves the
sprinklers...Tammy & Robert
We got Carly
(formerly Sylvia) in
March.
 She is
wonderful.  Definitely a
puppy so we are working
out the kinks.  We adore
our new little pup.  She’s
a funny character.
Maybe we’ll meet next
event
...Thanks, Robin
Otto is doing great. We
are up in Oregon for the
week visiting my family
on their large farm. He is
having a blast and loves
all the dogs, horses and
even the cat. He is such a
sweetheart. Things are
good in SF as well. We
spend a lot of time at the
whatsoever. A very good
boy...Jody
Timothy is everything I wanted
in him!
 He is full of energy, speed
and drive.  He is the seen.  He is an
angel in the house (except for always
wanting to play).  He is very smart
and a good learner.   He remembers
just where we left off when I do get
back to the  training, which is
unusual and terrific.  All of the dogs
accept him and our crazy male
shorthair has finally decided to play
with him.   Thanks again to everyone
who had a part in my ending up with
this fabulous boy!  Regards...Beth
Just had to send you some more
pictures of Myler
, can not tell
you how happy we are to have
Myler in our lives he is the best.
Thank you for all the wonderful
work you do to save these beautiful
fur babies....Tammy & Robert
We just got back from Oregon
playing on my parents 18
acer farm for a week.  
Otto  
was amazing and he has
turned out to be such a good
dog.   Attached a couple more
photos from Oregon, he tired
himself out playing all day
with all the other dogs.  Thank
again for all your help.
...Jodi
We love taking the dogs to Cowell Beach
in Santa Cruz. We learned that day
that Zeke doesn't like going in the
water. But that is fine by me, one less
dog to dry off. He is like a little kid when
the waves crash. We also got a
trampoline for our yard. It is the
funniest thing to see Zeke and Blazer on
it. They almost "jump" with us. What a
difference he has made being with
us...Maria, Eric and Dustin
Thank you for matching our
family with the right dog.
We
adopted Lena Sky (previously Sky)
earlier this year after losing our
weimaraner of 13 years. She settled
in to our home and family very
easily, and has bonded particularly
well with my 10 year daughter.
She is a very welcome addition to
our family and is quite
loveable....Danielle
Here is a pic of m dog Jerry
on a trail
at Tahoe a couple of
days ago ... I walked 6.7 miles,
he probably went 22!  He was
saved by NCWR out of the Sac
SPCA.  I adopted him about 5 1/2
years ago at age 9 months.  He is
THE BEST!!!! (after a year of
craziness due to separation
anxiety ... but he's all better
now.)...Anita
I have also attached the
requested.
 Some are from his first
camping trip.  He did FABULOUS.  
We take him to soccer games almost
every Saturday, and he is such a
great ambassador for the breed.  We
let everyone know he is from
rescue, to help combat the
misinformation that you can only
get "bad dogs that no one wants"
through rescue.  Bigalow is
awesome.  :)
...Barbara
Just wanted to drop a line and
let you know that Higgins and I
are happy and well
- there
couldn't be a more perfect match!
He's finally come out of his shell
and is showing his "puppy" side
more and more. His appetite is full
and healthy and at our first vet
appointment last week he weighed
in at 56 lbs                         ...Jason
Sailor finally found his soul dad
McKeever is happy to be
with his new family
on
the central Oregon coast.  
He enjoys running and
running on the beach along
with chasing sticks, balls,
and sea birds..  On stormy
days Mac relaxes in the
warmth of the fireplace.  He
still isn't fond of running
and playing in the rain,
though.  Mac is a welcome
addition to our family            
                                  ....Charlie
A Holiday greeting to your
family to let you know that
Dezzy is doing GREAT.
 I want to
let you know this holiday season
that nothing has brought us more
joy this year than adding Dezzy to
our family… we are now whole
again with our Weim family
member.  I have attached a family
picture of us at the beach.  I just
wanted to say THANK YOU for the
opportunity to have welcomed
Dezzy in our family.  With much
gratitude...Mike, Amy, Madison
and Dezzy
Jasper continues to brighten our lives and
provides entertainment non-stop.
 He
enjoys the 3 mile walks in the morning and
seems comfortable with the leash.  He does not
like being left alone, and the neighbors all know
who Jasper belongs to.  He's very clever finding
weak areas in our fence, and joined us Saturday
night at a party of our next door neighbor's.   But
we are finding those spots and fixing them.  Plus,
he is much more confident in himself now.  His
#1 love is riding in a car.  He's sitting in our car
as I write this waiting for us to go on a trip and
refuses to get out.  Anyway, Jasper is happy and
so are we                                                             ....Jeff
I cant believe its been over a year
since Zeke was brought into our lives.
He still continues to grow and make us
laugh every day. Just yesterday he was
playing with my girlfriends French
Bulldog puppy. It was adorable to see him
be so gentle with her, then turn around
and completely do a 380 and ruff house
with Blazer. We learn so much from them.
Dogs are so loving. Anyways, I wish you a
Happy New Years and look forward to more
Weim. functions.
...Maria, Eric, Dustin, Blazer and Zeke.
Well, where should I start.  In short
things are great here.
I understand
this is Jake's third placement. He was
labeled excessive energy and my wife
says she thinks he's met his match. I
have lots of time for Jake and he get lots
of love and affection. So how are things
going?  Just Fine...JOHN
We thought you would like to
see a few pictures of how
Boomer (Alpha) is adjusting to
his new home.
He loves being told
what to do by his new favorite
playmate Katelyn.  He is going to
be a perfect fit for our family. We
decided on Boomer because of the
way he enters a room and greets
people.                     ...Paul and Sue
We just wanted to let you know that Hank & Paige
are doing wonderfully.
 Paige is all over Hank all the
time as you can imagine.  They love and play with each
other all, well until Hank has had enough, the time.  I'm
including some recent pictures of them....Monique
Below are some pics of Bo's first
day at playgroup.
 He is such a good
dogs and is very playful.   We have a
lot of fun together.  I hope his brother
finds a good home!

Ricky is a great dog. He is my
husbands running partner and a
great playmate to the other dogs.
He is wonderful with the kids.
Here are a few pics of him being

Here are a couple of pictures I took last
week of Jakey
and our dog Harvey...Dianne
Sally, but can also be sneaky Sally.  
She has taken upon herself to put on the
weight quickly.  We have had a few
incidents where she tore through a box of
brownies and eat about 1/4 of the mix;
grabbed her small bag of dog food off a shelf
and ate all of it, and she has figured out
how to open up the panel on the dog door to
come into the garage to get into her food.   
She has adjusted very well: loves the
couch,  good around my kids and their
friends, loves going to the park to run, and
has taken her position as Alpha dog (Buddy
does not seem to mind)...Joan
We have now had Myler for more than a year now & truly love him, must
share with you Myler's rescue, this is Spooky with Myler he was the victim of for food
from house to house the kittens soon started to follow her he was only a few weeks old
when Myler brought Spooky to the back door. We kept him as he & Myler are best
friends & play all the time.  Thanks again for all the great work you do to save &
place these beautiful fur babies...Robert & Tammy                                 
Speaking of Stella,
she's thriving! She's
enriched our lives so
deeply and we love her
more each day. She's in
great shape and has
really come out of her
shell. We feel so lucky to
have her and we're so
grateful to NCWR for
bringing her into our
lives...Mary & Jared
Well, I've Molly now for more than
100 days, and it just keeps getting
better!
She is totally integrated into the
family now, and almost every issue
(minor as they are) is under control...
Molly totally trusts me now, and she loves
my older dog Brenna to death.. She is an
extremely well adjusted, healthy, happy
dog, and lives to please.... I am so glad you
guys hooked me up with her.. She is truly
answered prayer... Both dogs go
everywhere with me, and love going for
rides in the woods in the jeep.... I'm looking
forward to adopting more of come... Thank
you so much for what you are doing! You
are genuinely doing great work for this
wonderful breed.. Molly is exactly what I
was praying for, and is an awesome dog in
every way!            ...Mark
As promised, here are some
pictures of our new boy
; he's very
happy and making us very happy.  
Thanks to all who had a hand in
getting this guy to us-our broken
hearts are mending very quickly.
So far he's a momma's boy which
makes me especially happy!!!

Thanks, and Happy New Year
Mo, Gary and Cooper
This is Myler's second
vacation to Little
River Inn
& as you can
see he played hard &
slept hard, we just love
him, & can't thank you
enough.

Robert, Tammy & Myler
Hi my name is Anthony I adopted
Howie in 2008
, he and I have
formed a bond stronger than
anything I could have ever imagend.
We have moved from our home in the
bay area, and know lives at our farm
with 10 acres fot him to play on.  He is
the joy of my life and still fights with
my wife for the other side of the bed. I
hope to see this on your website, and
thanks you again for a perfect friend
and companion ever... Anthony &
Howie
Here are a few
photos from Milas
(formerly Pebbles)

first few weeks with
us. Her ride home,
hanging out with her
new big sister Kona.  If
we we loose track of
her, she can be found
staring at herself in
the oven door.
We have done fostering through this incredible
organization for years and this picture is from
our failed foster care!
 We live in Northern
California and we fell in love the moment we brought
this boy home (temporarily) until he could find a
new home.  His name is Yeager and we believe he is
around 5 years old now.  We think he was about 12
months when he first came to us.  He has such a
sweet spirit and follows his master (a 10 year boy)
EVERYWHERE!  They are inseparable and has been a
when he first moved here – but when he first moved
here – but this breed is so eager to please that within
a couple of to please that within a couple of months of
training, he’s wonderful.  So Thank you for he’s
wonderful.  So Thank you for all you do to help save
these incredible dogs – we LOVE our addition!  ...Ken,
Joy & Travis
Jarrett is doing great.  He knows how
to shake hands, walk on the left and
heel.  Getting better with other dogs and
greeting friends as they
come over.  He went for an 8 mile hike
through the red woods in Butano
State Park last weekend and had enough
energy to do another 8 more.
We have to work on jumping on
counters and dragging treats out of the
garbage.  We love him!!!         ...Lindsey
When we first got Heidi back in
how she would do on our two week
travel trailer trip to Wyoming.  She
was a great traveler and real
trooper in all new experiences.  
She is the perfect Weim for us and I
am very thankful it worked out of
her to be our kid...Barbara
Toni and I rescued Sabrina from NCWR
about 3years ago.
 She was a wonderful
addition to the family  Sabrina fit right into her
daily walks, is an example of what Joy is all
about. Everything is her favorite thing.  Her
social personality makes trips to Starbucks a fun
time with everyone wanting to pet her and ask
all about her and of coursewe send folk to the
NCWR for their own new friend.  She has
graduated gracefully at 4-Paws university and
thinking about the graduate program!  Had to
share in hopes others might help to save another
Weimie!                                ...Mike Arnold
Just thought that you would
appreciate an update on the
wonderful "Storm" that I adopted
almost three years ago.
 She is now
famous as a therapy dog here in Salinas
and had her picture and write-up on the
front page of the Salinas Californian
newspaper. All three of my girls work at
the Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital as
therapy dogs.  Wonder Weims!  Thank you
for all you do.
