We are seasoned volunteers, having helped with Weim rescue efforts for many years. We currently assist with dog transports, home evaluations in our area, and offer temporary foster home placement.
We got involved with rescue because we have had Weims for over 30 years and we love the breed. We have five Weims: Weaver, 10, Belle, 8, Ellie, 4, Summer, 4, and Sadie, an adopted rescue dog. We also have a seven-year-old German Wire-haired Pointer, Jerry.
I (Sherry) teach basic dog obedience classes for Western Community College’s Continuing Education Program. Together, Kurt and I enjoy showing our dogs and doing pet therapy work with them. Ellie is our conformation show dog, Summer shows in obedience, and Sadie and Jerry do pet therapy work.
Our family consists of our grown children: son, Jeff, who has two children and a Weim, and daughter Jennifer, who has one child, a Weim and a Chinese Crested. As you can see, we all love our Weims!
I have been working as a Home Health Aide for the last 15 years and Kurt is retired.
