 We call it the "freedom ride" for animals in dire need of rescue, sitting in overcrowded shelters, and running out of time.  These dogs and cats have little to no chance for adoption, where they are at, but it takes money to save them.   To help them click the donate button below.  Each $20.00 donation enables us to save one more animal, and get it on board the Freedom Ride.... a life saving trip to a new beginning.
 
 

 
Weimaraner
This complex and demanding dog has a distinctive appearance and an offbeat sense of humor.
Height: 23 to 27 inches at shoulder
Weight: 55 to 85 pounds (males average 77 pounds, females average 62 pounds)
Coat: short and smooth
Life span: 11 to 13 years
Breed Group: Sporting Dogs
Originally bred as a gundog to handle big game like deer and bear, the "Silver Ghost" was a highly sought-after breed in its native Germany. Today, these elegant but demanding dogs can still be found out on the hunting grounds, but can also make a fine family friend if well exercised.
