Nothing wrong with the shelters, but let me put in a word for the many Breed Rescues as well. There is a Rescue for almost every purebred dog out there and these folks do an awful lot of work for no money, enticing vets to give free and reduced rate treatments and they are also VERY careful about who adopts the dogs. They screen well and are very selective because they have knowledge of the characteristics of the breed as well as the individual dogs.

In our case, most of the WCA local Weim clubs have a Rescue setup including foster care and try to coordinate with the other locals in screening applicants. We also have the Weimaraner Rescue Railroad which was a part of Duncan's journey and which I am happy to be a part of, to transport dogs to their new and forever homes. I think one of the longest jaunts so far was a Weim in Kansas City going to British Columbia.
