Nova: An astronomical event that causes the sudden appearance of a bright star in the sky. Dear Nova was adopted by one of our most seasoned and amazing foster families in 2014, where she became known by family and friends as “the badass Weim.” This bright star was clocked at 27 miles per hour as she ran with her human brother on his bike (she could also jump in the air 6 feet to catch a ball)! Additionally, Nova shined in her job as critter security guard, keeping her family safe from animal intruders. Sadly, Nova recently passed on to be with so many other great, badass dogs in Heaven where she waits patiently for her humans (as patiently as a Weim can be). Play hard and rest well, dear Nova. You will be missed so very much. Do you have a badass Weim? Have you lost your wonderful pet friend recently? Tell us about it!

Every September is Responsible Dog Ownership Month and it highlights the commitment, care, and training needed to keep canine companions safe and healthy. These things include: Ensuring proper fencing and leashing, pet-proofing the home, scheduling routine vet checks to provide preventative care, feeding a proper diet, ensuring pets get plenty of exercise, providing training and socialization, keeping microchip info up to date. Did we leave anything out? Let us know. We want everyone to have plenty of knowledge to keep their dogs safe and healthy!

**OUR BEAUTIFUL PIEBALD, ALICE, IS IN HER FOREVER HOME!

As we fully expected, Alice's foster was a foster fail! Right from the beginning, Susy, our foster fell in love, as did Alice's new Weim brother, Doug. Doug was adopted from NCWR in 2020.

Alice heads to work with Mom & Doug daily, and has plenty of other dogs and land to run around on there.

We thank all of you so much for your generous donations towards Alice's care. She has been on antibiotics for her tick diseases, getting her bloodwork, and it's looking really good! Once the vet loves the blood results, she will get her dental care, and then spayed. She is in a wonderful home, where she is getting all the love and attention she needs. Making up for the lost time! Thank you Susy & Doug for making her a big part of your family!

** HAPPY ENDING TO AUGUST!

What a great way to end August! Both ODIN & ALICE have found their forever families! (Now let's just hope for some cooler weather!). FIRST we have ODIN'S story from his foster home, then we will feature ALICE on a separate post!

We need to give a huge THANK YOU to Greg and family for taking such great care of Odin, and sending us great updates on him!

"After a few weeks with us, Odin officially has a home! His new family absolutely fell in love with him and decided he wasn’t going anywhere. Seeing how comfortable and loved he already was made saying goodbye a whole lot easier.

Of course, our 3 year old made sure we didn’t get too sentimental. As we were loading him into the car, she came out to say goodbye and told him:

“Now you can go to your new home and p*e on other people’s stuff.” 😂

And with that, Odin was off to his next chapter.

We’re going to miss this big, goofy guy, but fostering him was absolutely worth it. One homeless dog off and into a family that loves him.

Happy tails, Odin. You did good, buddy."

In the photo, odin is meeting his new Weim sister, Perla!

🌈 Today, on Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day, we’re thinking of the Weimaraners and other beloved dogs who are no longer beside us, but who will always be part of our lives.

Over the years, so many special dogs have passed through Northern California Weimaraner Rescue. Some came to us needing a fresh start, some found the families they were meant for, and some became unforgettable parts of our own rescue family along the way.

Today is for remembering all of them. 💙

We’d love to see the faces of the dogs you’re missing today. Share a photo, their name, or a favorite memory in the comments so we can remember them together.

Gone from our sight, but never forgotten. 🌈🐾

For those who don’t know me, I’m Rachel Vitorelo, and I’m honored to be serving as the new President of Northern California Weimaraner Rescue. I’ve been involved with NCWR for many years as both a board member and Shelter Intake Coordinator, and I’m excited for this next chapter.

I’m fortunate to follow Shiffra, whose years of dedication and knowledge have helped make NCWR what it is today, as well as our late President, Michael, whose commitment to the rescue and the breed left a lasting impact. I’m grateful for everything they have given to NCWR and proud to carry that work forward.

As we look ahead, our greatest need is the recruitment of some key volunteers to help processing new Weimaraners, supporting our amazing foster families, and placing Weimaraners in their forever homes. If you are interested in hearing more about any of these rewarding opportunities, please send us an email at [email protected]

Other opportunities include helping with fundraising efforts and getting your “Weim fix” by fostering or transporting our gray friends. Whatever your talents, there is a place for you in NCWR. Even a few hours can make a difference. I’m excited about what’s ahead for NCWR and hope you’ll be a part of it!

Odin’s Foster Update: One Week In

It’s been about a week since Odin arrived, and we’re starting to get a much better picture of who this handsome guy really is.

First, he’s definitely making himself at home. When Odin arrived, he looked a little haggard. We initially assumed his weary expression was simply part of being an older dude, but over the last week, that look has started to disappear. Maybe it was stress. Maybe he just needed a soft place to land. Either way, he looks younger, happier and more relaxed every day.

Second, he’s kind of a coward. 😂

His foster sisters will charge the fence to enthusiastically investigate anyone who walks by. Odin? Odin retreats to the other side of the property to safely assess the situation from a distance. Anything potentially abnormal requires careful evaluation.

And Odin’s definition of “abnormal” appears to be…everything.

Third, he’s a leaner. If you’re standing around talking, Odin will quietly wander over and lean his entire body against you. He genuinely seems to love being close to people and will happily soak up whatever affection is available.

Fourth, he’s apparently a counter surfer.

My wife called while I was running errands this week and asked:

“Did you eat four pancakes off the counter?”

Now, I enjoy a good pancake as much as the next guy, but I had not eaten four pancakes off the counter.

After a brief investigation, suspicion fell heavily upon Odin, who was nearby looking innocent and had suspiciously sweet breath.

Case closed.

Finally, we were asked for some action shots of Odin.

Unfortunately, this is about as much action as we’ve been able to capture.

He is a bona fide couch potato. Like… The Dude, might actually be his spirit animal.

So if your idea of the perfect Weimaraner is a handsome, affectionate, slightly suspicious, pancake-stealing older gentleman who would love nothing more than to sit next to you and talk about how that rug really brings the room together…

Odin might be your guy.

Please come meet him, but bring snacks.
