Ricco's story...
Are you looking for a dog who would be GREAT on an agility course?
Ricco may be just the dog for you. He's a 14-month-old silver male
that is quite small in stature for the breed and his age. However,
he is a very muscular, fit dynamo who loves to run as fast as he can
through the yard. He is very strong-minded, intelligent and
athletic, but mindful of his humans with excellent recall.

He loves to play with balls and toys and still has a bit of the "wild
child" in him. Ricco likes to play rough and tumble with the girls,
but can be very domineering over the other males (a bit of a Napoleon
complex, we think), so his introduction to other males should be
supervised.

He can be crated when left alone and allowed to free roam when people
are home, but he should be supervised closely as he still like to
chew on things. Once he matures and learns his boundaries he will
need less supervision.

Ricco has a strong prey drive and would not do well in a home with
cats or small animals. Because of his excitability, he also would
not do well in a home with children under the age of 10.

If you've got a job to occupy Ricco's brain and a way for him to use
his boundless energy we'd love to introduce you!

About Our Rescue Group...
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!

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. **
