Now that’s an animal rescue!! God bless this man for saving this dog, guess this kinda makes people realize that good dogs aren’t only from breeders. shelters have purebreds in em too……as well as craiglist!

I think most dogs should be spayed or neutered and kept as family pets (contrary to what is promoted by Westminster), BUT, this is truly a wonderfully inspirational story. I love it!

I have recued 5 Weims in the last 25 years. They have all been the best dogs you COULD ever want.
God Bless Friends for Pets here in Los angeles and in Particular Diane Monahan who has dedicated her life to rescuing these dogs. WEIMS RULE !!!

As someone who’s been a dog lover my whole life, it was so heartwarming to watch Maverick’s story! I got my first Weimaraner in the early 1970s when no one really heard of he breed and 3 of the 5 Weimaraners I’ve owned since then, I rescued.
They are such an incredible breed of dog…very intelligent, affectionate and fiercly loyal–they truly do become members of your family.
In fact, I just rescued a beautiful AKC registered 2 year old female Weimaraner a little over a week ago whose owner dumped her because her husband-to-be didn’t want her! Who would want to marry a man who’d make you get rid of your dog?
She is quickly adjusting and is great company for 2 1/2 year old male Weimaraner who is also a rescued dog & became part of our family in January 2011. Everyone who meets him says the same thing–they can’t understand why he was abused and abandoned..He is so sweet and loving!
Kudos to Dan Stalling for recuing Maverick and also to the reporter Dan Harris for telling this wonderful story! I hope more people will think about rescuing an abandoned dog to give it a second chance at life.

Congrats to Dan and Maverick for finding each other. Congrats to all who find it in their hearts to save a pet from a shelter and make them part of your family.

I have had 2 rescue weimaraners. Oliver, and now Beau. They have brought me immeasurable joy. Maverick “won” when Mr. Stallings rescued him.

Huh, ironic coming from a club who just got rid of Pedigree as a sponsor because they support shelter dogs… Apparently Pedigree isn’t “in keeping” with the reputation and standards of Westminster… And Westminster got themselves a new sponsor. I won’t be watching Westminster any longer. But I WILL be supporting Pedigree in their endeavor to promote adopting homeless animals. 3-5 MILLION animals are killed ( many of them gassed) in the US every year. MANY of them pure bred dogs…
