Introducing Charlie, the silver sensation with a personality as unique as his coat! At 4 years young, this dapper gentleman is ready to find his perfect match and settle into his forever home. Charlie is a free spirit who enjoys the freedom of roaming when left alone. He's independent and loves to explore, especially when it comes to soaking up the sunshine and enjoying the great outdoors. You'll often find him basking in the sun or embarking on outdoor adventures, taking in all the sights and sounds of nature. While Charlie is a fan of his furry friends, he prefers a quieter environment without the hustle and bustle of young children. He's a laid-back guy who enjoys the company of dogs but would thrive in a calm household with minimal visitors. When he's not out exploring, Charlie loves nothing more than cuddling up with his favorite stuffed animals or gnawing on a tasty bone. He's a simple guy who finds joy in life's little pleasures, whether it's a leisurely stroll in the park or a cozy nap in the sun. Currently being fostered in Grand Haven, Michigan, Charlie is on the lookout for a forever home where he can enjoy the peace and tranquility he deserves. So, if you're searching for a loyal companion who shares your love of quiet moments and outdoor adventures, Charlie might just be the perfect match for you!

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.
