We received news from adopter Michelle Boyce that her beloved Jada passed away. Michelle sent us the most beautiful letter that illustrates how much Jada was loved and how much she'll be missed. We asked if we could share - Here's Michelle's note to GLWR:

Jada was doing wonderfully and then suddenly became fully paralyzed from the neck down due to a tumor on the nerves in her spine. She was happy and active literally until the paralysis suddenly set in which for me is so much better than a slow decline.

We adopted Jada in 2020 when we were in Illinois and then we moved to rural Indiana where she really thrived! I just went back and re-read your posting of her and it couldn’t have been more accurate – she was a couch potato but such a snuggler (she demanded her spot was the middle of the bed touching both her humans!), yet she was also my daily walking buddy no matter the weather! She knew as soon as we picked up keys or my purse that we were going somewhere and she was sure to be the first one out the door waiting at the car to go for the ride!

While 5 years doesn’t seem like much, of all the weim’s we’ve had -Jada was the oldest when she passed so that was special.

I have to admit I was reluctant to adopt a senior dog when we took in Jada but it was such a great experience – I had many worries such as we wouldn’t have enough time with her, she’d be too stubborn (can an old dog learn a new family’s ways), etc … but she melded into our family very smoothly and in no time you would have thought she was with us her whole life.

Our other 12 year old Weim rescue who is diabetic, blind and deaf is just figuring out that Jada is gone. Watching her reaction is actually harder than my own emotions but she too will rebound with a lot of love. Thank you for all you and your organization do for this special breed!

Somebody PLEASE ADOPT SWEET FUDGE… Great With Kids - fostered in Mentor, Ohio

Message from Fudge’s Foster Mom Stephanie - PLEASE SHARE
I am writing this with a bittersweet heart knowing I have to let go but anxiously hoping to reach the right Furever Home for our 4 year old foster Fudge. Fudge had been picked up 8 times as a stray and his condition deteriorated with each return to the county shelter. After the last hold expired, the warden called GLWR and asked if we'd consider taking him into rescue. The Rescue said YES and I jumped in my car to pick up the little fella. Fudge was obviously very neglected and in really rough shape. He was so skinny with ribs poking out, scars all over his body, flea-infested, and he also had a bad case of giardia and hookworms. He gulped each meal down as if it were his last. We nursed his wounds and gave him medication and good food to help nourish him back to good health. Trust me when I tell you he's a different dog - it's remarkable what love and attention can do.

To say he couldn’t give or get enough love was an understatement - he has shown absolute love for people - lots of kisses and jumping (which we are working on!) He is also super smart! He learned his new name quickly, has a great recall, and will sit/lay down patiently at a stay to wait for his food bowl.
Our family has fostered 25+ Weims through Great Lakes Weimaraner Rescue and he is definitely up there as one of our favorites! Fudge is by far one of the sweetest boys and the poster dog for rescue! He is a Weim mix but that is what adds to his charm and what made me fall in love with him! His face makes my heart melt and despite his hard, rough beginning in life, he still holds total trust and love in his hoomans! He thinks everyone is his friend and who doesn’t love Fudge?! Fudge enjoys every minute of every day - he plays by himself, throwing his toys up in the air and catching them. He loves to run and CHEW!! He loves his toys! I will also add he has another nickname of Desperado because he loves to jump fences - you should see his vertical jump! Fudge’s hobbies include counter surfing, card playing, and fence jumping!

Fudge has a lot of energy and as such, wants to play. He desperately wants to play with our dogs but they are older and not interested. He does have some resource guarding with treats and toys so he would be best as an only dog or with another dog who is more laid-back/not dominant. Training with Fudge would be so beneficial and he would love it for the mental stimulation and the bond! He is so eager to please! He is excellent in the crate and can go 8 hours without an accident.

Lastly, this boy is a pure snuggle bug! He will curl up after playing for about 10 minutes or so and sleep on your lap or right beside you. He will sleep with us but often we find him curled up in one of our laundry baskets - I put in extra blankets and I believe he feels safe, secure, and at home. We would love to keep him, but our 3 Weims are older and our Fudgie deserves more attention and fun than they can provide! He is one dog who deserves the bestest ever Furever because he loves with every bone in his wiggly body and he loves unconditionally!
