Wolf Creek Weimaraner Rescue Open Annual Meeting
Location: All Dogs Canine Care Center
Date: February 28, 2010
Time: 1pm
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Mak. I am a former rescue dog from Wolf Creek Weimaraner Rescue. Woof Creek... excuse me, WOLF Creek Weimaraner Rescue, has put me in charge of telling you how very important our annual meeting is this year. I am thrilled at the honor. WCWR will be having its annual open meeting at All Dogs Canine Care Center on Sunday, February 28th, at 1 pm . You'll understand why this meeting is so important in just a minute and why we need YOU. At this meeting, we will be reviewing this past year, our current challenges, as well as the rescue's goals for 2010. Do you love Weimaraners? Then you are integral to our continued success. Bring your enthusiasm! Bring your ideas! This will be a great opportunity to network with fellow Weim enthusiasts and even put some faces to names (finally!)
So, here's the situation. I recently communicated with some of the Weims in West Tennessee, Alabama, Louisville and Washington D.C. Given the economic downturn, we all agree its critical that rescue efforts need to be kicked up a notch. The demands and challenges that come with rescuing Weims are now greater than ever. While we saved and rescued many Weims that needed us in 2009, there was an unprecedented number of Weims in the Southern region that Weim rescue groups struggled to help. The sad reality is that some were not able to be helped. We want to be able to meet the challenges of 2010 head on and we cannot do it without you.
We Need You! Weims, well, we tend to stick together, so I told the pack I would lead this call to action and let our collective howls be heard. Many of our buddies still need help. They can't do it alone....we can't do it alone. If you've ever considered getting more involved with Wolf Creek, now really IS the time.
Aside from sharing your enthusiasm and ideas for strengthening our rescue efforts, I've been told that WCWR will also be voting on board members & reviewing its by-laws. They will also be reviewing the rescue's financial picture. WCWR's success, now more than ever, will depend on you in 2010. We look forward to seeing many new faces at this meeting.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot… while I will not be in attendance, I will be sending my partner this year. Don’t worry though, Mak is on the job and I will be following our progress online at www.wcweimrescue.org. You can count on me to speak for all the Weimaraners who cannot speak. May we count on you?

My name is Jack and I came into rescue about a year ago. My owners had to move and could not take me with them. I'm 9 years old, although many times you would not know it! If you're looking for a super-smart Weim, your search is over. Really, why even consider a young Weim when you can have me? Trust me, the wisdom that comes with age surpasses youth every time! I am looking for a home where I can spend the remainder of my years.
Will You Be My Valentine?
As you can see from my pictures, I am one handsome boy. I have beautiful light eyes that did not turn amber. They enhance my youthful appearance, don't you think? I currently live in a foster home where I have no problem keeping up with my younger foster siblings. I love to play and I adore going for walks. I'm working on my leash manners and learning that I don't need to pull, after all there are plenty of hours in the day. I ride beautifully in a vehicle and love to watch the world go by from the window. I'm a huge fan of toys. Durable toys are a must with me as I do enjoy chewing on them. If you fill a Kong with peanut butter, I promise to love you forever. Oh, I love to swim too. Check out my swim video to see me in action.
I would be an excellent guardian of your home, nothing slips by me. Don't bother with an expensive security system... Jack is on duty. I have excellent house manners and can be trusted in the home. Okay, so there was the case of the missing chicken burrito, but I'm pleading the fifth on that incident. I'll admit that I'm intensely passionate about food. I love food. I love the smell of food. I've been known to counter surf and I'd be less than honest if I didn't tell you that the kitchen is one of my favorite rooms in the house! My foster family is working with me on my food manners. When you're preparing food in the kitchen or sitting down to dinner, simply put me in a down-stay outside the kitchen and I will abide. I told you I was a smart boy. Seriously, I can be left alone in the house and won't disturb anything (well, unless you leave food on the counter!) I am also crate trained, although I must say I prefer to be able to stretch my bones around the comforts of a home. I am a couch potato and love soft things to lay on. Human beds are truly my favorite. I also love to be covered with blankets. I enjoy crawling under blankets and taking naps, you really have to see it to believe it. I love feeling warm and secure.
Like nearly all Weims, I have a high prey drive. Squirrels are such a delight to chase! Anyway, I think it's safe to say that cats and I probably would not get along. I would acclimate best in a home where I'm an only dog or as a companion to a female dog. I tend to have a dominant personality and would likely compete with a male dog, although I'm sure we could peacefully live together after a short time. Kids are cool with me, but they must be older as I'm an exuberant boy when it comes to toys and food. Well, what do you think? I can't wait until my forever family comes along!
Interested in learning more about Jack?
