Tickled Pink Weimaraner Rescue

🩷 A small fundraiser is generously being hosted for the animals in our program, and items range in price from a few dollars to a few thousand dollars. 

This incredible vintage Native American turquoise cuff & ring set are one of the finer item listings; the proceeds of an item like this help pay for part of a more invasive surgery or procedure on a dog in our program.

Please feel free to visit the auction for fun, and share with friends; it ends on June 21.

This set can be found here:

Thank you for your support! 🩷

🩷 Now that the summer heat is in full effect (and especially here in the desert Southwest 😅), we thought to feature this wonderful item available through the online fundraiser being held for dogs. This is a faux fur and pink corduroy dog trapper hat. The hat is thick and full of detail; it also is ergonomic and actually stays comfortably attached to a dog's head (wide velcro-attached chin strap).
Auction now through 6/21, the direct link to this hat is below.

Thank you for your support! 🩷

🩷 Hello friends, it's us, your tiny (and mostly absent-from-the-socials) team at TPWR.
During our long stint offline, there have been so many dogs (and a few cats!) whom we have neglected to share with you all here. And admittedly, that number is likely just shy of two hundred animals. Eek!

If you're familiar with the volume of medical-needs animals we take in (and the level of care they require), sharing to social media has unfortunately remained low on the priority list. And although we very much miss the engagement with and encouragement received by so many, what matters most to us in sharing the animals in our program with you is what it means for each of them: more people who know them, more people who send love & healing energy their way, and more people to be their champions through all of the time each of them spends in our care- whether that be through adoption or through loving hospice.

And so today we'd like to introduce you to our newest intake, Yosemite. This young male Weimaraner comes to us from a shelter partner in northern New Mexico. Yosemite (or Yo-Yo) had the opportunity to initially be fostered by a Weimaraner-loving law enforcement officer (thank you, K!), and it was an honor to work with them. While we don't know much about Yo-Yo's history, we were able to secure a very loving place for him in our only available foster home. And a huge thanks is also in order for his rescue foster family!

We plan to share more photos and updates as this young man settles into foster care.

Welcome to rescue, Yo-Yo-semite! 🩷

Our friends over at Tarheel Weimaraner Rescue are in need of support to provide life-saving exploratory surgery for just one of the emergency medical-needs animals in their program. This sweet girl is Fibi.

If you’re able, please consider a tax-deductible donation to their program!

Fibi Update 💔

Today has been a very long and emotional day for sweet Fibi. Unfortunately, she was still feeling lethargic this morning and was not acting like herself. In fact, she seemed to be getting worse instead of improving, so her foster family immediately took her to CARE in Charlotte, our emergency specialty hospital.

For those that may not know, CARE is one of the best specialty and emergency facilities around and has every type of specialist and surgeon you could possibly need when things go wrong. We are incredibly thankful that Fibi is there and in such good hands right now.

She has been at the hospital since this morning undergoing extensive testing including bloodwork and an abdominal ultrasound. During the ultrasound, the doctors discovered a mass in her abdomen. Right now, we simply do not know exactly what it is. It could potentially be a cyst, a hematoma, an infection, or something entirely different. At this point, the only way to get answers and help Fibi is exploratory surgery, which she is scheduled to undergo tomorrow.

Please continue to pray for this sweet girl tonight and tomorrow morning. She has already been through so much in her short time with us, and all we want is to get her healthy, comfortable, and back home with her foster family where she is loved so deeply.

The estimated cost for Fibi’s surgery and hospitalization could reach up to $8,000. With three dogs currently in medical care, the rescue could truly use support right now. If you are able to donate, share this post, or simply keep Fibi in your thoughts, we would appreciate it more than you know.

No matter what happens, Fibi WILL get the care she needs. We will find a way. We always do.

We will update everyone again tomorrow as soon as we know more after surgery. 💙

🩷 Weimaraners and mixes and Doodles, oh my!!

While we have taken a hiatus from social media for some time, we are as active as ever, and currently it seems as though we are taking dogs in by the day.

We are now going on sweet 16 years of federal recognition as a 501(c)(3) organization.
If you have followed us for some time, you'll know that we have taken in other breeds, cats, and mixes, to now include Goldendoodles.

We have two wonderfully special Doodles in our program who are looking for their loving forever homes. Please reach out to us directly with any questions/interest: [email protected]

Thank you! 🩷

🩷 Dear Friends & Supporters,
We currently have three neurological dogs in our program, one of whom is a puppy.
Our monthly veterinary bills are often exceeding $20k, and we are always in need of support.

If you would like to make a contribution towards the care of these and other dogs in our program, we are always incredibly grateful! We are a 501(c)(3) organization, and so all donations are tax-deductible.

Thank you for all of your continued support, and while we worked to try and find more assistance with social media, please always feel welcome to reach out to us directly! 🩷

Albeit that we are far behind with updates and stories of the many incredible dogs in our care, we have officially begun posting on our Instagram page.

Please join us, starting with some unique insight into the history of our program: https://www.instagram.com/p/DPH47KKEkvx/?igsh=OTQzMWNkOWlxdzJ2

🩷 As we begin a journey on a new platform, we reflect on images created of the magical dogs who were part of our program so long ago. Behind the scenes of creating this particular silly composite in the early 2000s, the dogs themselves were clearly less than thrilled about the process. The lighting felt too bright, the camera too intrusive, and their expressions gave away just how unimpressed they were with being asked to “pose.” In retrospect, we regret asking so much of them. But that was part of their charm; these were Weimaraners, after all. Individuals of a breed who perpetually wears their heart on their sleeve, the authenticity of each dog sparkled, even when they didn’t love the spotlight. Regardless of their lack of enthusiasm for the camera, we believe that they knew they were receiving love and affection, and that was what truly mattered. In those little moments, a quiet brilliance shone through the spirits of the dogs who shaped Tickled Pink Weimaraner Rescue. Each animal was cherished beyond measure, incredible in their resilience, and unforgettable in their impact. From left to right are: Jitterbug, Frida, Frenchie, Jubilee, Tommy, Bambi, Allegra, Amelia, Tallulah, Duke, and Nico. Time has passed, and unfortunately most of them have since crossed the rainbow bridge, but their memory lives on in every heart they touched. One precious soul is still with us today, Allegra, who came to rescue as a puppy. Allegra has for all these years been the heartbeat of her family in Sedona, Arizona. We continue to celebrate her, for she is a living reminder of the legacy all those who came before her have left behind. This image, despite the less-than-enthusiastic expressions it bears, is more than a composite, it’s a tribute, a way to remember, honor, and remain forever inspired by the dogs who helped define Tickled Pink Weimaraner Rescue’s mission and spirit. Joie de vivre, as we continue to learn from the dogs; and thanks for being here. 🔮

❤ Tilly is one of a number of Weimaraners currently in our care, and we are looking for sponsorship for her spay surgery and vetting.
The care for the dogs always comes first, which leaves our small team very little time to feature the majority of the dogs who come through our program.
While we are working to ensure Tilly is comfortably on the mend, we need your help: please consider making a tax-deductible donation towards our expenses, which are thousands of dollars each month.
