Introducing Miss Grace, a timeless beauty who proves that age is just a number! At a spry 10 years old, Grace is a Weimaraner with a heart full of love and a spirit that refuses to be confined by the calendar. This charming senior is a testament to the joy that comes with experience. Grace still relishes long walks and playful moments with her younger four-legged foster friends. Her secret to staying forever young? Embracing the importance of beauty sleep, with daytime naps that rival the peacefulness of her nighttime snoring serenade. Grace comes with a wealth of manners, having mastered house training and basic commands. Trustworthy when left to roam freely, just be sure to tuck away any tempting treats her athletic Weimaraner genes might lead her to explore the kitchen counters! In remarkable health for her age, Grace recently underwent a thorough checkup with GLWR's Veterinarian. While a few lumps are evidence of the passing years, the vet assures us they are purely cosmetic. With a clean bill of health, the doctor's recommendation is clear: "Grace is good to go, so let's find this lovely gal a new home!" Regular check-ups will ensure she continues to enjoy her golden years with vigor. Grace is on the lookout for a family to share the silver moments of her life. Ideally suited for a quieter home, she thrives with companionship and would love someone with the time to indulge in walks and play. A canine friend would be the icing on the cake, providing company when needed and sharing in the joys of life. If you're ready to welcome a wise and wonderful Weimaraner into your home, Miss Grace is eagerly awaiting her forever family. Let's make the rest of her years truly shine with love and companionship!

More about this rescue
Great Lakes Weimaraner Rescue is an all-volunteer, not-for-profit 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 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 "gray 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.
