It's important to note that many of the dogs GLWR currently has for adoption have behavioural issues. This means that they cannot be placed in a home without careful consideration of: the home environment (including backyard), children in the home, other dogs and cats, and past Weim experience. We want you to know this going into the application process as you may not be approved, or be scheduled for a meet and greet. This is in the best interest of the dogs. We thank you for understanding.
GLWR is a foster-based rescue organization and does not have a traditional physical kennel facility. Our dogs are typically housed in family homes and cared for by their foster until we find a forever home for them. Therefore, our process to meet dogs and to adopt may be different than a typical animal control facility, humane society or shelter.
In order to schedule a visit to meet GLWR dogs available; you must:
The list of available dogs is always changing.
Donation fees are age-based and range from $600 to $350.
We cover 5 states - all family members and current dogs will have to drive to meet our Weimaraners in their foster homes.
Only apply if you are ready to adopt now and prepared to drive 5-10 hours one way.
We understand that it seems like a long process to get through to just meet a dog, however, we want to ensure that dogs and families are a good match - and that the dog you are interested in is still available once you're approved. Although we try our best, not all adopters end up adopting a Weim from us. Factors such as requirements for both the dog and the adopter may not be a good match. Examples include: other dogs/cats in the home, unfenced or no backyard, small children, time left alone etc.. We also feel it important to have potential adopter’s screened adequately to ensure that we know who may be engaging with our volunteers and visiting our foster familys' homes. Their peace of mind and safety is of utmost importance to GLWR.
We want every prospective family to be 100% comfortable with their decision to adopt a rescued Weimaraner. If at any time “it’s just not working out,” we are always happy to take the dog back - no questions asked. Please note that per the adoption agreement GLWR requires that the dog must be returned to the rescue. We will work with you as needed to coordinate and ensure the dog’s safe return.
