GLDR's adorable pup Elton has been wagging his tail for 142 days without a SINGLE adoption application! Hey, Facebook fam, time to unleash the power of sharing! Let's find this cutie a forever home to bask in the summer sun with! #GreatLakesDogRescue 🐾

‼️ATTN!! Heartworm Survivor!!! Please SHARE!!!!! 🐶 Hey everyone! Opie here from GLDR! ❤️ Though my life hasn't always been easy, I'm one tough guy and thanks to the love and support from my foster family, I'm happy to announce I'm HEARTWORM-FREE! After months of treatment, there were plenty of happy tears to go around. I've been given the all clear to find my forever family and am eager to meet YOU! I'm almost two years old and weigh around 65 pounds. Nobody's quite sure what breed I am, but my foster mom says I'm 100% adorable! Life with my foster family is all I hoped it could be. I live with my foster parents and their fur babies. I have the best time playing with my fellow dog brother, but would prefer a cat-free household. I'm quite the accomplished tug-of-war player and would welcome a canine sibling of my own! Do you have a family fur baby you'd like me to meet? Just tell me when and I'll be there! I will thrive off of guidance, structure, and lots of mental stimulation and enrichment! I enjoy chewing on bones and other tough toys that can stand up to my playful nature. I'm proud to report I'm both house-trained and crate-trained and will let you know when I need to go outside. I know a few commands and will be happy to demonstrate just how smart I am for a tasty treat. Speaking of treats, I'm very food-motivated which will be an excellent way to help train me. I have been known to steal a treat or two so things like food puzzles would be perfect for me. My mom is able to take away food and toys from me with no issue. As I'm still a young man, I'll benefit from continued training by my new family. Daily exercise and a yard for me to enjoy are a must in my new home. I'd love to live with a family that will include me in their daily activities. I like exploring on walks my leash skills are improving everyday! Up for a road trip? I do great in the car and can't wait to see all the places we can go together! Everyone is always telling me what a

❗️WE NEED YOUR HELP❗️ We hope everyone had an enjoyable spring break! Why not give a shelter pup the same chance to enjoy some time away from the kennel? You don’t need to hop on a plane or take a road trip to give a shelter dog the “straycation” they so desperately need! Don’t have time to foster full-time? That’s ok! Even a weekend away can do wonders for a dog and help us learn more about them!! Please consider giving a shelter dog the break they so desperately need! We have several dogs that have been sitting in the kennel for MONTHS! Please apply to foster and WE WILL WORK WITH YOUR SCHEDULE! https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/foster/GLDR/Dog

Please consider opening your heart to me and I'll be the best friend you could ever ask for! While I was able to stay with a temporary foster while recovering from surgery, I'm looking for a full-time foster until my forever family adopts me!

My foster mom was able to take my food away with no issue. When it's time for treats, I need a little prompting, but will sit nicely and flash you my dazzling smile for a tempting treat which I take very gently. Unless of course we're talking about ice cream and in that case, there's no stopping me-lol! I am quite the curious gal and love to explore. Whether it's walking around the sub meeting new folks along the way or just exploring my home surroundings, I love to be on the move. I love riding in the car and prefer to be up front as your copilot. I may be a senior dog, but I sure don't act like it! I've had a chance to meet the neighbors and boy did I love the attention. I even got to meet some children and was on my best behavior. My foster family was very impressed! My foster parents call me Midge, "Midgey" and I respond to both. I always want t
