Bio Coming Soon…

January 1, 2024

Hi all! My name is Jim Jensen and I live in Fort Collins with my wife Teresa, as empty nesters.  I was first introduced to the weimaraner breed in the early 1990s when a friend of mine had one.  In 2006, my little family of five grew a bit bigger when we adopted our weimy, Chance.  He was the absolute best, instilling a love of the breed, and animals in general, with every member of my family.  We watched him grow from an inquisitive puppy to a rambunctious teen, to a vigilant adult, and finally into a mellow senior.  We lost him December 2019 but not before he met Freya, a blue weimy that our oldest daughter adopted with her husband.  Soon after Chance’s passing, Kilo, a grey weimy joined his sister (different litters but the same parents), making them our first grandpups.  Since then my other two adult children have adopted a mix breed (chow, anatolian shepherd, and lab) canine named Ace, and a wonderful cat named Yazzy. My wife and I have decided to hold off on adopting until we are closer to retirement, meaning we have to spoil these grandpups and grandcat as much as possible.  Wanting to stay tied to the weimy community, I found the opportunity to volunteer with GGWR too compelling to pass up.

Founding member of Grey Ghost Nov 2016

I am an Army brat and an Air Force retiree. I have been in Colorado Springs since 1998. I love all animals big and small to include fish. When I was a kid living in England, I recall saving up money for gerbils, volunteering to take

care of a variety of animals over the summer break from school. I was very fortunate to have parents who loved animals too.

Floyd my first Weimaraner brought me to the world of rescue. Although he was not a rescue, he inspired my love of the breed and so of course I looked for all ways possible to help Weims. Floyd lived to the lovely age of 15 and brought me the most joy ever.

I currently have all rescues – Mocha a weim/silver lab, 2 cats, and 3 parakeets.

I have been a part of the rescue world since 2010 and a founding member of Grey Ghost Weimaraner Rescue. I work with a great team of volunteers and mentors who educate and impress me with their love of animals. I have met so many wonderful people and discovered the world of transport. It is unbelievable how selfless people are, they volunteer and do transport and give their hearts to rescue animals. I will forever be grateful for all that we accomplish.

I am a Veterinarian and boarded Veterinary Pathologist who has lived in Northern Colorado for over 25 years. I did General Practice for 5 years before becoming a pathologist. I worked in academia and diagnostic laboratories for over 20 years including University of IL- Champaign/Urbana and CSU (Colorado State University). More recently I have shifted career focus to work in the Pharmaceutical industry and new drug development.

As a veterinarian, I have loved animals of all types for most of my life. Weims have been part of that love since a teenager when I chose a Weimaraner as my first pet. Since then Weims +/- other dogs have been integral parts of my life, whether as a comfort companion, running partner or partner on my farm. All my Weims (and other dogs) after the first have been adopted rescue dogs. Each one was unique and has precious unique memories that I cherish. My current Weim-mix is precious, goofy and my family. He was adopted through Grey Ghost Weimaraner Rescue who I have been involved with for several years. I am always impressed by the group’s mission, passion, and results.
