We strive to provide a safe haven for Weimaraners that are in need of a new home.
GLWR was founded in Michigan in May of 2005 by five individuals with a single common bond – a love of the Weimaraner dog. We understood the special needs of the breed and had a desire to help those dogs that found themselves lost, abandoned, neglected or mistreated and through no fault of their own were without a family and a loving home. GLWR was founded with the premise and intent of assisting Weimaraners in need of re-homing assistance. We found that the other breed specific rescues at the time were selective about the dogs they would/could help and many in need did not receive needed assistance. Instead they languished in shelters; possibly meeting an untimely and unjust demise there. We were especially concerned about those discarded by their owners and placed in shelters due to age, health, behavioral or other problems that made them less likely to be adopted through an all breed shelter environment.
Our home base is in West Michigan, and through a network of dedicated foster homes, service the five surrounding states in the Great Lakes region (MI, OH, IN, IL, and WI).
