Congratulations to Jack and Heather on their adoption of Hank! Hank went home with his new family, including his Weimaraner sister named Bella. He’s going to be living his life in a beautiful home environment with his own pool in Battle Creek Michigan. He and his new sister are getting along great - he’s really going to enjoy having a new family home. Happy Tails, Hank!

🐾 We Can’t Do This Without You 🐾
On Giving Tuesday, our incredible community donated $5,000 toward our $20,000 goal — and we’re deeply grateful. But since then, donations have slowed, and we’re still far from what we need to continue feeding and caring for the 30–40 dogs who rely on us every single day.

Food costs have risen sharply, and the discounts we once depended on have all but disappeared.

To feed just one large dog twice a day costs between $820 and $1,460 per year. Multiply that by 40 dogs, and we’re facing an annual food bill of $32,800 to $58,400 — just to keep bowls full.

These dogs come to us from all walks of life — from heartbreak to hardship. Some arrive after surviving alone, lost or abandoned, doing their best to navigate a world that turned its back on them. Others come from loving families who, through no fault of their own, can no longer provide the care their dog deserves. They arrive scared, hungry, and unsure, not understanding why everything familiar has disappeared.

But thanks to your support, they find comfort. They find safety. They find full bellies, gentle hands, and a place to heal. And when they leave us, they do so with wagging tails and hopeful hearts — ready to begin again.

If you’ve already given — thank you. If you haven’t yet, or if you’re able to give again, please know that every dollar makes a difference. Your donation doesn’t just buy kibble — it buys time, hope, and healing.

💙 Please help us reach our $20,000 goal. Together, we can keep every bowl full and every dog safe.

Dux has found his forever family and is thriving! He is on his way to being able to go back into what he loves - field, work and birds. Once he gets his training restarted he’ll be back in his element. He has a new Boston terrier brother, and everybody is doing really well. He’s even done well with the cat so far! Happy tails, Dux!

Congratulations to Clifford and his new forever family! He has a retired dad, and almost retired mom. His younger sister is the perfect playmate and a senior Weim to keep them all in line. Clifford is such a sweet soul and a one of a kind dog.

Update on Clifford…
This is a long story but very well worth the read. Clifford is a large Puppy Mill Weim that was brought into the One-of-a-kind animal shelter near Akron, Ohio. He arrived through no fault of his own, and he was absolutely terrified. It was very obvious that Clifford had never been socialized and was very afraid of humans. Sensing this, one of the shelter directors named Tanya, took Clifford under her wing. Within a few days, Tanya finally gained Clifford’s trust and he felt safe enough to eat a few bites of food. A few days later, staff was able to encourage Clifford to leave his kennel and attend a playgroup with other dogs, which he got along very well with. One of the shelter volunteers is Deb, who happens to be Great Lakes Weimaraner Rescue’s adoption coordinator. Even though Deb knew GLWR was full, she called the executive director Tonette and told her about Clifford. Tonette set up a transfer transport and brought Clifford into Rescue. Tonette realize that Clifford had special needs and decided that she and her husband Michael would be the best place to foster Clifford. It took many, many months for Clifford to finally come out of his shell. He is a lovely dog.
