Story
Hey guys! It's Ranger here! I am a 3-4 year-old boy looking for my Furever Family that will giveme a safe spot to lay my head and wag my tail! My foster mom says that all I need to do is putmy "dating" profile up on GLWR to find my "fur-fect match"! I can't wait to see who wants tomeet me! I have to tell my own story because I was found mid-winter doing some freestylerunning along a highway when I was picked up by the dog warden. I hid in the corner of mycage, so scared, until the good people of GLWR picked me up and got me to my foster family.They immediately fell in love with me (hey, what's not to love?!) and I quickly became one of thepack with 3 other GLWR Weim rescue dogs. They had been there for years so I just followedtheir lead. I love people and other dogs, but they are older and really set in their ways so wedon't get to play much. Mom says I have to list my "loves" and "don't care fors" so that peoplewill know the real me! So here we go!Loves:? Snuggles - I will even jump up on your lap, lean in, and give you a "hug"! I just can't getclose enough to my hoomans!? Kisses - I will kiss anyone and everyone - mom says I need to be a bit more exclusive!? Food - I will eat anything! (unfortunately mom and dad have to watch my fondness forsticks and leaves)? Crate - I need an airline crate because the darker walls make me feel safer with the"denning" effect.? Hoomans - I just love people, and I think everyone loves me too!? Dogs - I like dogs too, but I need safe introductions to dogs you may not be comfortablewith my exuberant personality!? Sleep - I sleep when you sleep! I like to sleep with my humans because they make mefeel so safe - I even like to snuggle under the blankets and curl up next to them!? Play - I love to play and do fun things with anyone!? Love - I can't give enough love and I am the poster dog for rescue - I know I have beenrescued and I do not ever want to go back to my old life again!Don't Care For:? Storms - even just rain. I get anxious and my family often finds me hiding behind thecouch.? Staying on all 4 paws - unfortunately my mom says I have the "knock-down" factorbecause I get so excited to see my family and I like to jump on them. We are working onthis, so I need continued training. I would do best with people who are stable on theirfeet and do regular exercise because I need that too!? Staying home alone - I do ok in my airline crate for 8-9 hours (a workday), but I canpretty much chew out of wire ones and will shred any type of bedding due to my anxiety.Because I am a counter surfer, I will do better crated or in a "dog-proofed" room.My foster family would love to keep me if they didn't have 3 dogs already because they say I amone of the best fosters they have ever had out of 25+. Might you be my Furever Home Match?

Story
Meet Meadow ?? Meadow is a beautiful 3-year-old silver girl with a big personality and plenty of that classic 3-year-old Weimaraner energy! She loves playing with toys, running around the backyard with her foster dog siblings, and being right by her people. When the day winds down, Meadow is happiest cuddling up in bed with her humans. This sweet girl has good manners and is a busy body who loves to stay active. She also has a high prey drive, so her future family will need to be mindful of that and continue providing the training, structure, and guidance she needs. Because Meadow can become overwhelmed by too much activity, a home with children 10 years and older would be the best fit for her. She would thrive with a family who understands her energy level and is committed to helping her continue to grow into the wonderful companion she is meant to be. Meadow is truly a sweetheart and would make an excellent addition to a loving, active family. ? Could Meadow be your girl? ??

Story
? Meet Cash - the sweetest senior gentleman! ? At around 8 years young, Cash is looking for a soft place to land and a family to call his own. And after spending his first week in foster care, we're learning that this handsome boy is pretty darn easy to love. ? Cash is a super chill, affectionate guy whose favorite place is wherever his person happens to be. Sitting on the couch? He'll happily settle at your feet. Heading to the bathroom? Don't worry - Cash will make sure you don't have to make the trip alone. ? He loves pets, snuggles, and simply being close to his people. He's currently living with three female dogs and gets along beautifully with them. Cash could be perfectly happy sharing his home with another dog, but we think he'd be equally thrilled to be your one-and-only favorite boy. And this senior gentleman has some seriously good manners! Cash is wonderful on leash and doesn't pull, rides well in the car, and has even proven himself to be a great boating buddy. ?? He sleeps quietly in his crate at night and goes into it willingly. Cash does have some separation anxiety when his people leave. He may fuss, pant, or drool for a while before eventually settling down to sleep. His foster family is working with him to help him feel more comfortable and secure when he's home without his humans. Because of this, a family willing to be patient while he adjusts and learns that his people always come back would be a wonderful fit. Cash can also be a bit of a neighborhood watch captain. ? He likes to announce when people are walking past or approaching the house, but once introductions are made, the tough-guy act disappears. He loves the people he meets and is more than happy to collect some attention and affection. What really stands out about Cash, though, is just how sweet and easygoing he is. He isn't asking for much - a comfy bed, some leisurely walks, plenty of love, and most importantly, a person to belong to. Senior dogs have a special way of quietly finding their place in your heart. Cash is ready to find his. ??

? Disney's Dating Profile Name: Disney Age: Middle-aged Height: 80 lbs of handsome Looking for: A long-term relationship with someone who appreciates leisurely walks, quality naps, and a gentleman with opinions. About Me I'm a handsome, distinguished gentleman who has left my wild youth behind. These days, I prefer sedate walks and loving pets over exhausting adventures. I used to chase squirrels. Now I prefer to watch squirrels. From a window. While lying down. Honestly, I've matured. I'm also a bit of a conversationalist. I communicate through grunts, snuffs, and my signature whisper bark. I save my full bark for important matters-like suspicious delivery trucks and squirrels who fail to respect my personal boundaries. I'm not really a furniture guy, but give me a good window and I'll happily keep an eye on the neighborhood. I don't hand out kisses to just anyone, either. I like to keep those for special occasions and special people. My Green Flags ? I know sit. I can wait patiently for food. I walk politely on a leash. I can hang out in an unfenced yard without causing trouble. I've met a cat and respectfully ignored her. I've met a toddler, gave her a quick lick, and then calmly watched her play. I'm an excellent napper. I have strong opinions about delivery trucks. What I'm Looking For Someone who appreciates a big, mellow guy with a little personality. I can get along with other dogs, although I prefer to take things slow. I do well with my female dog friend, but my relationship with my male roommate has developed into something of a competition for who gets the most human attention. I'm not saying I'm jealous... I'm just saying I believe I deserve my fair share of the pets. A meet-and-greet would be recommended if you already have a dog. Or, if you'd rather have me all to yourself, I'm perfectly happy being your one-and-only gentleman. Dealbreakers ? People who expect me to chase squirrels. Suspicious delivery trucks. Sharing the spotlight with another handsome gentleman. Anyone who thinks 80 pounds is too much dog. (I prefer to think of it as 80 pounds of love and personality.) My Ideal Date ? A nice leisurely walk. Some quality window watching. A few loving pets. Maybe a snack. Then a long nap while I contemplate the important questions in life-such as why squirrels continue to trespass. Swipe right if you're looking for a mature gentleman who has his priorities straight. ?

Story
King (pure breed) red nose pittie This is one of the hardest posts I’ve ever had to make, but I need to find a new home for my dog. He is a big ball of energy and definitely needs someone who has the time and patience to keep up with him. He isn’t the best with children, so a home without young kids would be best for him. Despite all that energy, he has such a sweet side—he absolutely loves crawling under the blankets, getting butt scratches, cuddling up, and soaking up all the love he can get. This is not a decision I’m making because I want to, and it honestly breaks my heart, but I want to do what’s best for him. I’m hoping to find someone who will give him the love, attention, and home he deserves.
