Welcome to GLWR!

We are an all volunteer, nonprofit group whose primary mission is to help with the rescue & placement of Weimaraners in the Great Lakes region - including Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana.
 
Dogs that enter our rescue/recovery program are placed into our Foster Care Network which provides a stable, loving family environment. Each dog's medical & emotional needs are provided for as they wait for their new "forever" home. We believe that every dog deserves a chance to enjoy a good life. We adhere to a "no-kill" philosophy.  

 

See About Us for more information on our Rescue.

Dog of the Month

Stewart

   

Stewart's Blog

Indiana Chapter

Well hello there, my name is Stewart. I am an 8 year young male Weimaraner. I am enjoying life now, but do miss the wife now and then. You see before I came to GLWR my life was just for making puppies. Then my previous owner surrendered the wife, me, and our last bunch of kids to GLWR.

 

My coat was pretty bleached out when I arrived, but now I am getting some nice Weim fur. I am told I have the cutest long ears. I would probably work well as an only dog.

 

I enjoy following my foster mom to the barn to feed the horses and just gallivanted around the yard with her. I love to run and feel the wind on my face, it makes me feel so free!

 

Please consider ME!

 

Sincerely, STEWART

"I am an Animal Rescuer"

My job is to assist God's creatures
I was born with the drive to fulfill their needs
I take in helpless, unwanted, homeless creatures
without planning or selection
I have bought dog food with my last dime
I have patted a mangy head with a bare hand
I have hugged someone vicious and afraid
I have fallen in love a thousand times
And I have cried into the fur of a lifeless body too many times to count
I have Animal Friends and friends who have animal friends
I don't often use the word "pet"
I notice those lost at the road side
And my heart aches
I know of no creature unworthy of my time
I want to live forever if there aren't animals in Heaven
But I believe there are
Why would God make something so perfect and leave it behind
Some may think we are master of the animals
But the animals have mastered themselves
Something people still haven't learned
War and Abuse make me hurt for the world
But a rescue that makes the news gives me hope for mankind
We are a quiet but determined army
And we are making a difference every day
There is nothing more necessary than warming an orphan
nothing more rewarding than saving a life
No higher recognition than watching them thrive
There is no greater joy than seeing a baby play
who only days ago, was too weak to eat
By the love of those who I've been privileged to rescue
I have been rescued
I know what true unconditional love really is
for I've seen it shining in the eyes of so many
Grateful for so little
I am an Animal Rescuer
My work is never done
My home is never quiet
My wallet is always empty
But my heart is always full
