Meet Ollie, a very good sport who let us dress him like a girl! Ollie is a very nice 5-year-old Weim who has been passed over a few times by adopters because of his not-so-perfect looks. He's just not as "pretty" as some on the outside due to his patchy haircoat.
He came to us with a large amount of hair loss and it has been determined that he has hypothyroidism. Fortunately, it's a simple-to-manage condition with inexpensive pills he must take for the rest of his life. Bloodwork is also needed occasionally to monitor his thyroid levels. As long as he stays on his meds, his haircoat should continue to grow and he should lose weight.
Ollie is a sweet boy with a sad story. His Mom loved him very much but was in a horrible accident and could not physically care for him anymore. She asked GLWR to help find him a wonderful home.
He is great with other dogs, cats, birds and guinea pigs and he loves people. His Mom used to call him the "dog ambassador" for his neighborhood! He is a loving, mannerly, sensitive Weim who just wants a home and some love in return.
If you have room in your heart and home for this big lovebug, please let us know and we'll arrange a visit. Let's get Ollie out of the wedding party and to the center of the stage. Heck, we'll even throw in the champagne...but we won't do the chicken dance!

Rescue Group Info...
Great Lakes Weimaraner Rescue is an all-volunteer, nonprofit group whose primary mission is to help with the rescue & placement of Weims in the Great Lakes region; including Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Ontario.
Dogs that enter our rescue/recovery program are placed into our foster care network which provides a stable, loving family environment. Each dog's medical & emotional needs are provided for as they wait for their new "forever" home. We believe that every dog deserves a chance to enjoy a good life. We adhere to a "no-kill" philosophy.
GLWR was created in an effort to support & provide for the rescue, recovery, care, rehabilitation & re-homing of Weims in need across the Great Lakes region. No one individual is GLWR...we came together to form a collective & collaborative organization with our sole purpose being to assist Weims in need. We work with the various networks of shelters and containment facilities in several states as well as accept owner relinquishments. We exist solely on the generous donations of those who love these majestic "grey ghosts" as much as we do & the fund raising efforts of our very talented and energetic group. All funds received are used to support the vet care & other essential expenses necessary in the daily care of the dogs.
We believe in doing everything possible to help a dog make the transition to their forever home. We are here for the Weims & the Weims alone...our reward lies not in the accolades of being "rescuers" but in the gratitude we see in the bright, loving eyes of one of our Weims as they move onto their forever home... dogs that were once sad, dejected, & without hope that now have a chance to experience the love and warmth of a family that will truly love and care for them.
Great Lakes Weimaraner Rescue is not a shelter. We are a group of volunteers that live throughout the Great Lakes Region; Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Ontario. The weims stay in foster homes until they are adopted. Once you complete the adoption process, you are more than welcome to visit the dogs at their foster home!
To adopt one of our weims please contact our Adoption & Application Coordinator at applications@greatlakesweimrescue.com. .We will send you an application and get you started with our adoption process. This process consists of a reference check, phone interview, and home visit. Once you are approved you can start meeting dogs!! Our adoptions donations are as follows: Dogs under 1 year - $400, dogs 1-3 years - $350, dogs 3-6 years - $300, dogs 6 years and over - $250 **
** Special needs dogs and senior dogs may be considered for a reduced donation due to the nature of the medical condition and the age of the dog. **
We adopt out to the Great Lakes Region; including Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Ontario.
