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, please email us, but please be prepared to wait up to a few days for a response. Please note that we dont typically respond to posts on our facebook page. If there is an emergency please email us as well as phone us (you will be given someone's celphone upon adoption/ fostering) to be sure we receive the message promptly.
*At this time, we do not take Weimaraner mixes.

Placement Coordinator/Intake
KellyAnn has always had rescued dogs....After losing a beloved dobie/lab mix, strolling up the row at a shelter looking to save yet another life, Blue (first Weimaraner) found her. He was an older owner surrender--6.5 yrs old! Despite not knowing much about the breed, she adopted him and hasn ʼt looked back since. A year or so later, wanting to add another Weim to the family and contacting a few local rescues, along came 3 yr old June. Creating a stir wherever they went, Blue and June opened up a whole new world for KellyAnn in the world of Weimaraners! A few years later, Haze was sent as a foster who after a few months, became the best rescue success/ foster failure! In 2013, she added a Weim puppy to her rescue-family and in 2018, welcomed another pup. In 2022, along came another pup. KellyAnn is also an active Board Member for the Garden State club, on the Public Education Committee for the WCA/ Meet the Breeds Booth Coordinator, and has been involved with TriState Weimaraner Rescue since they began as their own group.

Intakes/Volunteer and Foster Coordinator
Patty has always had large breed dogs in her life. Growing up her father favored German Shepherds and they always had one or two that lived with them. When she moved out on her own she rescued a Doberman/Shepherd mix at 4 months old and had her until she passed away at 13. She also had a Lab that was very special to her. Patty’s love of Weims began when she adopted Sage from a friend who had purchased her from a breeder at 8 weeks old but ended up being extremely allergic to her. Sage was an amazing dog and the breed is so special she knew she had to get another one. She adopted Hollie from TSWR and that is how she got involved with us. She has since added Haven to her family. She loves working at events and spending time with the people and dogs that attend them. Knowing she is part of a group that assists these wonderful dogs in finding forever homes gives her great pleasure and she looks forward to many years of service ahead.
