We want to make a difference

Weimaraner Rescue of Texas is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization of volunteers who will go to all lengths to save Weimaraners.  The dogs come to us from shelters, surrendering owners, the streets and even ditches in rural areas.  Our team of volunteers is deeply committed to helping Weimaraners in need - no matter their circumstances.

Our rescue provides all of the necessary resources to save the lives of these gentle and loyal companions and give them the happiness they deserve.  

All of our volunteers love the breed and are dedicated to making a difference in the lives of the dogs that we are able to save through the rescue. 

Whatever it takes

We provide full medical support for every Weimaraner that comes into the rescue with very few limits.  This includes:

•    Preventative care, such as vaccines, heart worm prevention and flea and tick preventative

•    All vet costs including spay or neuter, costs to restore function, costs to cure diseases such as cancer, parvo, distemper, heart worm treatment, etc.

•    Behavioral rehabilitation/training

•    Emergency care

WRT SPENT OVER $260,000 TO CARE FOR THE DOGS JUST IN THIS PAST FISCAL YEAR!

A new start for every Weimaraner

Weimaraners are a very misunderstood breed, they have very specific exercise and training requirements and they are not a good fit for everyone. Many of the dogs that come into our program are surrendered by families that don’t have the time or home environments that the dogs need. Others come in from shelters or are found running loose.  Funds raised allow us to take care of all veterinary and behavioral care.  We carefully select the right adopters and we help to transition the dogs to families that are better suited for Weimaraners.  In the right home, these dogs are wonderful loving pets.

Our rescue dedicates resources to give the dogs a safe, secure, and loving foster environment for physical rehabilitation as well as training for behavioral rehabilitation if needed.  A new start and a forever home.

Unique to WRT is our forever foster program.  Dogs with terminal ailments do come into rescue. They are labeled forever fosters and will live in one home with all costs completely covered by Weimaraner Rescue of Texas for their remaining days. We love our forever fosters and spare no expense on their care and comfort. 

How to help

Weimaraner Rescue of Texas operates 100% on donations from generous and kind people who want to make a difference in the lives of these dogs.  Donations pays for veterinary care, training, and essential supplies for the dogs.

We depend on donations to fund the care for the constant stream of incoming Weimaraners.  While the largest expense is veterinary care and behavioral rehabilitation, the rescue also pays for supplies such as collars, leashes, microchips, heartworm preventative and flea/tick preventative.  Volunteers provide foster care, transportation for the dogs, adoption and foster application processing, incoming coordination and help with outreach and fundraising in the community.

We are counting on North Texas Giving Day to help us continue to answer the countless phone calls and emails we will receive about Weimaraners in need.  We want to provide the dogs with the medical care they need and the homes they deserve. 

We appreciate the outpouring of support that we have received so far - not just money, but people opening their homes for these dogs, helping to transport them, and buying Amazon wish list items.

Mission

Our mission is the rescue, rehabilitation and placement of Weimaraners from animal shelters, found stray, abandoned, neglected and abused. We educate the public on responsible pet ownership, and promote spay/neuter. We are dedicated to end the tragedy of pet over-population by opposing puppy mills, pet stores selling live animals, and irresponsible over-breeding of companion animals.

Needs

Weimaraner Rescue of Texas is on track to save over 200 dogs this year. The shelters call us. People who find Weimaraners running loose call us. And owners call us when they can no longer care for their Weimaraners.

The rescue needs resources to provide veterinary and behavioral care, in order that the dogs will be successfully adopted into new loving homes. The cost per dog is ever increasing, as veterinary costs are on the rise. Weimaraner Rescue of Texas estimates to spend $1,200 per dog this year.

Every little bit helps. From the bottom of our hearts, we appreciate you helping out these special dogs.
