About the Tri-State Weimaraner Rescue

Tri State Weimaraner Rescue (TSWR) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, all volunteer organization formed in 2006 in New Jersey for the charitable purposes of rescuing purebred Weimaraners* (grey, blue and longhair). TSWR also strives to educate the public about responsible dog ownership including spay/neuter, training and humane care of pets.

We accept dogs from shelters and those unwanted by their owners. Dogs relinquished by their owners will stay in the owner's home until a suitable permanent home is secured. If need be, the dog will be placed in a temporary foster home where it will receive any medical attention needed as well as spay/neuter, vaccinations and heartworm/lyme testing. Dogs in our care are only euthanized as a last resort due to severe aggression and/or debilitating health issues.

We do not have a facility.  We are a network of volunteers and foster homes.  Every single person involved in this rescue uses their own personal time to help fulfil a need that is important to us.  We have families and jobs that are important to us too.  So if you you are interested in contacting us, either email us or call us (908-751-3140), but please be prepared to wait up to a few days for a response.  Please note that when contacting us by phone, you will only be able to leave a voicemail message.  If there is an emergency please email us as well as phone us to be sure we receive the message promptly.

 

*At this time, we do not take Weimaraner mixes.

Kristy
Treasurer
Application Interviewer

Kristy's family has been rescuing dogs since before she was born.  As a child she lived with rescue dogs of multiple breeds such as Springer, Brittney and Cocker Spaniels and German Shorthair Pointers, which were all adopted from local shelters.  Her family was introduced to the Vizsla breed when Kristy was in high school, and she immediately fell in love with them.  She began raising her first Vizsla on her own while she was in college, and currently has a 2 1/2 year old named Kailey who came from Indiana.  Kristy was introduced to the Weimaraner breed by her good friend and fellow board member Jamielynn, and it wasn't long before the similarities of the two breeds were apparent to her.  Her love of this type of breed made it an easy decision for her to become a part of our rescue.

KellyAnn
Secretary
PA Intake Coordinator


KellyAnn has always had rescued dogs.  She and her husband, Chris currently have 2 Weims. After losing a beloved dobie/lab mix, she and her husband found themselves strolling up the row at a shelter looking to save yet another life, when Blue found them. He was an older owner surrender--6.5 yrs old! Despite not knowing much about the breed, they adopted him and haven ʼt looked back since. A year or so later, they wanted to add another Weim to the family. After contacting local rescues, along came 3 yr old June. Creating a stir wherever they go, Blue and June have opened up a whole new world for KellyAnn and Weimaraner rescue.  For many years, KellyAnn has been involved with TriState Weimaraner Rescue, an all-breed rescue in her county and other areas of canine welfare.
