Great Lakes Weimaraner Rescue

So Many Weimaraners Are Waiting For Forever Homes

GLWR is experiencing an influx of owners surrendering their dogs. Many purchased Weimaraners without fully researching the needs and traits of the breed; and are no longer working from home. GLWR's small team of volunteers are committed to keeping the dogs in foster homes and working very hard to find their forever homes.

GLWR Has Placed Thousands of Weims Since 2005

We are a volunteer run, nonprofit group whose primary mission is to help with the rescue and placement of Weimaraners in the Great Lakes region – including MI, OH, IL, IN and WI.

GLWR is a foster based rescue organization and does not have a traditional physical kennel facility like many humane societies or animal shelters. Our dogs are typically housed in family homes and cared for by their foster families until we find a forever home for them. Therefore, our process to meet dogs and to adopt may be different than a normal animal control facility, humane society or animal shelter. We work hard to match each dog with their perfect forever home.
