Gracie is looking for her Frankie – Are you looking for loving companionship and a reason to get out every day for a walk and some fresh air? If you answered YES - Grace may be a perfect match. 11 year old Grace is on the lookout for an owner to share the silver moments of her life with. She prefers watching Wheel of Fortune to Jeopardy – but if she’s honest it’s because she finds Ryan Seacrest incredibly handsome. She’s happy to snuggle on the couch no matter what’s on the TV!
Grace is a spry Weim with a loving heart and a spirit that refuses to be confined by calendar years. Ideally suited for a quieter home, she thrives with companionship and would love someone with the time to indulge in daily walks and cuddle time. Grace thrives on being Queen of her Castle – and would be best as the only dog in the home. She could happily call a condo or apartment home. Grace comes with a wealth of manners, having mastered house training and basic commands. Trustworthy when left to roam freely, her only vice is expert counter surfing so we recommend you tuck away any tempting treats before you leave.
Grace’s secret to staying youthful is fully embracing the importance of beauty sleep, with daytime naps that rival the peacefulness of her nighttime snoring serenades.
In remarkable health for her age, Grace recently underwent a thorough checkup with GLWR's Veterinarian. While a few lumps are evidence of the passing years, the vet assures us they are purely cosmetic. With a clean bill of health, the doctor's recommendation is clear: "Grace is good to go, so let's find this lovely gal a new home!" Regular check-ups will ensure she continues to enjoy her golden years with vigor.
If you're ready to welcome a wise and wonderful Weimaraner into your home, let's make the rest of her years the best! We can’t wait to take Grace on a joyful Freedom Ride!

Jan & David are wonderful human beings who’ve helped a few GLWR pups when they’ve needed love & care the most. Again they came through for Liesel - Liesel’s owner passed away and she was incredibly confused & very depressed 😔. Thanks to Maureen DeSanzo and her family for fostering Liesel & helping to heal Liesel’s shattered ❤️ heart. Maureen says that “Liesel was the best foster dog we’ve ever had; we didn’t want her to go - but seeing her with Jan & David made saying goodbye a little easier.” GLWR thanks Jan & David for adopting your new girl and for sending GLWR these fabulous photos. The second is Liesel meeting her new horse siblings. 🤩

We need fosters & adopters:

Despite the drizzly rain at the beginning and end, we had a blast at Woof Wednesday a little over a week ago at Debonne Winery! A portion of the proceeds went to Great Lakes Weim Rescue along with 100% of the proceeds from our “Doggy Bag Raffle”! Oliver and his dad George from the Weimaraner Coffee Company joined us for Woof Wednesday and also gave us a portion of their proceeds for the evening making it a big success! It was wonderful talking with Oliver and George - they are so sincere and invested in dog rescues for many breeds including Weimaraners! They brought their Great Dane boy Letty who proves once again that our big dogs ARE also lap dogs! We would also like to thank The Weimaraner Coffee Company and Heather Prayner from Scentsy who generously donated items to the raffle! If you are interested in Scentsy, look her up Teacher of Scents, Heather Prayner Independent Scentsy Director as she is amazing! The best part of the evening was meeting new Weim people and seeing our Weim family from GLWR including our Weim babies we have fostered or guided along the way to these fantastic families! Getting the Weim’s together for a pic was once again a hilarious event! Thank you for coming and hope to see more of you at the Woof Wine Fest at Debonne Vineyards Sunday July 28 12-6 pm!

Way to go Quintin - he’s on his way to 🇨🇦 with his new Mom & Dad Jen & Chris. Thanks for driving 10+ hours to meet your new baby! Special gratitude to the Bruce Family of Grand Rapids Michigan. I think Quintin may be their 45th foster dog? If you’d like to foster & be a “pit stop” on a dog’s journey to their forever home - we’d love to have you join our team. www.greatlakesweimrescue.com/foster

Hello Weim Friends! Here are some pics from our Woof Wednesday benefiting Great Lakes Weim Rescue last year! As you can see, the group pic was challenging yet hilarious! Try getting a group of Weims to look all at once! It took a village to get them all together! Some Weimies with their Hoomans had to leave a little early but to those who were here, feel free to tag yourself if I didn’t! Please join us this year if you can! We would love to see you and your Weimies! It is a sight to behold! Hunter Worden may again be the barky spokesman to yet annoy the lady on the patio who expected a quiet, serene evening and mistakenly showed up on Woof Wednesday- I mean, what did she expect? Hunter is asking all of his 4-legged friends (Weimie or not - all are welcome as long as you can bark or howl!) to join him at Woof Wednesday this year to remind everyone that Dogs rule, and Petulant Patio Princesses drool! 😆😂🐾
Join us at Debonne Vineyards on July 10, 2024, 5-8 pm! Madison Ohio
Hang out drinking wine, beer, soda, water, etc. and listen to live music! Portion of their sales that evening will go to GLWR!! ❤️🐾

Trigger warning:

GLWR is devastated to share news that long time adopter Corey C. Johnson of Grand Rapids, Michigan has died. A life lived with mental & physical illnesses can be debilitating and exhausting. His family and his many, many friends are reeling with the news that dear, sweet Corey is gone. There may be small comfort knowing that Corey is finally free & was greeted by his loving Weimaraner Dozer at the Bridge. Corey’s family asks that in lieu of flowers, please honor his life & love of Weims by donating to GLWR. We are so, so sorry and our hearts are broken. Be at peace. http://www.stroofuneralhome.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3234%3Ajohnson-corey&catid=9%3Aobituaries&Itemid=101

It with the greatest respect and gratitude that all of us at Great Lakes Weimaraner Rescue wish to offer our sincerest "thanks" to all the brave men, women and canines that sacrificed their very lives over the years to ensure that we can enjoy the freedoms we have in the USA today. This day, and every day, is in remembrance of all of you.
