We are an all volunteer, nonprofit group whose primary mission is to help with the rescue & placement of Weimaraner's in the Great Lakes region - including Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana. See About Us for more information on our Rescue
Great Lakes Weimaraner Rescue is an all-volunteer foster home based group and our mission is the rescue and placement of Weimaraners in the Great Lakes Region. We are a private foundation that was formed in May 2005 and are a federally recognized non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. We strive to provide a safe haven for Weimaraners that are in need of finding a new home. We are home based 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) as well as several provinces in Ontario, Canada. We are affiliated with many other groups and work in cooperation and collaboration with a network of humane societies, animal shelters, animal control facilities and other dog rescues in these and other states as well as with private owners needing to relinquish their dog.

Please help us save these brothers as well as fund GLWR's full heartworm prevention for a year.
https://www.gofundme.com/f/save-us-from-heart-worm-max-amp-jack/
Max and Jack are 6 year old brothers who were living outside 24/7 - calling an 8x8 wire kennel "Home". As if they've not been through enough - their vet visit revealed they are both heartworm positive. Chest x-rays were necessary to see the extent of heart and lung damage. Best medical advice indicates they can hopefully be saved, but the protocol is painful, expensive and lengthy.
Please donate and help get Max & Jack through their 6 month-long treatment.
Funds will cover treatment costs for Max & Jack and purchase heartworm prevention for all of the dogs in GLWR care. (Our dogs are on HW prevention 12 months a year - costing $7000+ annually). While GLWR receives a manufacturers' discount, the cost per tablet has increased 100% in the past two years.
Preventing deadly heartworm is simple. One monthly tablet. It's a killer and it's preventable.

Lana is a 7 year old that came into the rescue with a bad case of flea dermatitis, but her hair is growing back very nicely. Typical of a Weimaraner, she wants to be with her humans. She will follow you around the house and cuddle right up next to you! ⠀
⠀
Lana enjoys going on walks and has great leash manners. She does well with other dogs on neutral ground, such as on walks and in the backyard, but can be territorial when it comes to sleeping spots in the home. Therefore, she may do best as an only dog. She does not do well with cats. ⠀
⠀
She also enjoys playing fetch and destuffing stuffed toys, but doesn't chew on things that are not her toys. Lana is very playful and, due to her size, could knock over small children. She knows basic obedience commands, is crate trained, spayed, and current on vaccinations. ⠀
⠀
Lana still has lots of energy and love to give. Won't you consider adding this devoted and deserving girl to your family? ⠀
⠀
She is currently being fostered in Buffalo, NY.

A huge thank you from all of us at Great Lakes Weimaraner Rescue to all of you that stopped by our booth at the Novi Pet Expo! It was great to meet other pet owners and to get a chance to share stories about our funny, funny dogs. All sales from the Expo go directly back into the rescue and we couldn't do what we do without your support! ⠀
