Meet Stella & Adele – A Bonded Pair of Silver Beauties
Stella and Adele are two stunning two-year old silver Weimaraner girls who have come a long way on their journey to freedom and love. Just over a year old when they arrived at GLWR, these girls were surrendered from a Missouri puppy mill where life was nothing but cement floors, wire fences, and isolation. They had never known kindness, soft voices, or gentle hands—only fear and survival.
Both were heartworm positive when they came to us, and Adele had already been cycled for breeding. Their first ride to safety was terrifying; they huddled together on the floorboard, unsure of what was happening. But thanks to patient, loving GLWR volunteers, they began to learn that humans could be trusted.
Over time, Stella and Adele discovered what freedom feels like—running with the Weim pack, digging in the sand, dragging branches, and even unearthing a buried teacup (Stella was very proud of that find!). Through heartworm treatment and recovery, they showed incredible resilience and bravery.
Today, these girls are healthy, happy, and ready for their forever home. They’ve learned so much:
✔ Basic commands like sit, shake, and “nice” for gentle treat-taking
✔ Leash manners and enjoy meeting new people on walks
✔ They love soft beds, toys, treats, chews, and—most of all—attention
Personality Snapshot:
They are strongly bonded and must be adopted together. They’ve done well with other dogs and love to play and socialize. We feel that placement in a home with another well-trained dog to help continue their learnings and to teach them how to do dog "stuff" would be ideal (Adele has already dabbled in "counter terrorism" so clean kitchen counters are a must!). A physical barrier-fenced yard is a must for these girls as they have much to learn about the big world outside yet. While they were kennel trained, crate training in their foster home was not entirely successful, but they do well with gated areas when needed to be left or confined for a bit. Adele may need a little extra patience with house training, as occasional accidents could be anxiety related. Soft pillows and lots of sunlight radiating into the house where they can soak up the sun during afternoon nap is a special request from the girls! They have not had any exposure to children, and although both girls are gentle and kind and have never shown any aggressive or negative behaviors, we feel an adult based home with a calmer environment would be a more suitable environment for them as they continue their journey of learning and discovery. Cats are also unknown as they have no history being around furry felines.
These girls have endured so much and deserve a home filled with love, patience, and security. If you’re ready to open your heart to two sweet souls who will reward you with loyalty and affection, Stella and Adele are waiting. Theya re currently fostered in a suburb city of Darien near Chicago, IL
