Meet Schultz Our Lovable, Loyal Gentleman Waiting for His Forever Home Shultz has been part of the Great Lakes Weim Rescue family for over 700 days, and while we adore every moment with him, we know his perfect person is out therejust waiting to meet this one-of-a-kind guy. This handsome 8-year-old silver boyhas a crinkled ear that only adds to his charm and character. Hes a quirky soul with a gentle heart, and hes looking for a calm, quiet home where he can be someones devoted companion. He would lovea human whos home often and preferablya household with another mellow dog to hang out withwhen you are gone, Shultz thrives when he has a pack to belong to. Hes not demandingjust a short walk or meander in the yardto sniff the world is enough for him. After that, hes perfectly content to snooze on a dog bed thathes carefully fluffed andarranged for maximum comfort (hes quite the interior designer!). Shultz has also taken on the very important role of yourofficial door greeter. When you come home, hell be there, tail wagging, ready to welcome you back with joy and devotion. Shultz gets along well with other dogs who are calm and respectful. He prefers a slow, proper dog-to-dog introduction, and once hes comfortable, he fits right in. Hes also a vigilant little guardianalways ready to alert you to any stranger danger, even if its just a squirrel with suspicious intentions. Hes deeply committed to his human pack and does fine with guests who areintroduced in neutral spaceslowly outside of the homein the yard. Once he knows theyre approved, hell happily welcome them as part of the extended pack. Health-wise, Shultz is doing well, though hes starting to show a bit of arthritis in his back legs. He may move a little slower when getting up (dont we all?), but it doesnt stop him from enjoying life'slittle pleasures. His favorite pastimes? Backing up for butt scratches (his reverse "beep-beeper" is broken, so don't be surprisedashell do it anywhereeven when he visits you inthe bathroom!), emptying the toy box, selectingjsut the right toy or chewand rolling around playfully on itbefore settling in with the perfect chew toy. And when its mealtime? Prepare for drama! Hell flop dramatically on the living room floor like hes wasting awaysprawled out like he would need a chalk line around him until the scent of rotisserie chicken hits the air. Then its happy feet time as he trots to the kitchen like a brand-new dog. If you have room in your heart and home for a sweet, quirky, and loyal old soul, Shultz would love to meet you. Hes patiently waiting to see if theres a sparkand we know that when the right person comes along, itll be magic.

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.
