Story
Laverne is a 6 year old silver spayed female that weighs 62 pounds. Laverne is being fostered in Grand Haven, Michigan. Laverne is looking for her "Shirley" - a single woman who is looking for a little weim to care for, walk and have great couch cuddles watching tv. Applicants for this lovie need to understand that Laverne will be very protective of her owner. The best home for Laverne will be quiet; without a lot of visitors and an owner who works part-time outside the home, or is semi-or fully retired. Previous Weim experience while not required, would be helpful to understand the tendencies of the breed including resource guarding and how to introduce people and other dogs properly.

Story
MEET CHARLIE WATTS Named after the awesome Rolling Stones Drummer - I am ready to to take my solo act on the road and am ready to find my forever home Meet playful Watts - a 7 year old blue Weim mix who did not have a great start in life. Watts was kept outside - 24/7 in all kinds of harsh elements and was chained up. Since coming into GLWR - he has come such a long way. He is no longer petrified of people and other dogs. He is finally understanding what it means to be loved - having good food, a warm home and a comfy bed and awesome duck jerky treats. Watt's is currently being fostered in a family home in Howell, Michigan. Watt's foster parents say that while he may not be winning any fetch awards, he will definitely give it his best as he's still trying to figure it out. Watt's will win over your heart with his mad snuggling skills so if snuggling and watching TV is your thing He'll be a perfect match. When Watt's got his new suit of armor - AKA - a new red chest harness - it helped him immensely by boosting his confidence - you should see him strutting between the couch and outside. We kill ourselves laughing! Watt's sleeps contently in his kennel at night. He recently started enjoying getting baths at the local pet store - which was definately intimidating at first. He sure didn't know what to make of the Bearded Dragon!!! Watt's doesn't require lenghly walks or runs - he's more of an "out to the mailbox during commercial break" kind of dog so he can get back to his shows. A daily walk around the block has been a good way to introduce Watt's to the outside world and he's even managed to drop a few pounds. His favorite snack is chicken slices from the deli. Watts is a 7 yr old Weimaraner mix, neutered male, looking for a quiet home with lots of love to give. He is a bit on the shorter side, so counter surfing is out of the question. Watts can be an only dog or he'd be fine with another fur brother or sister in the home. No kids under 15. Once Watts gets comfortable, we will start bonding with the person he feels safest with. He will resource guard his favorite human if he feels threatened by another dog taking away his human from him. Wattstends to take three steps forward and two steps back. He never gets fully comfortable with anything even through repetition and routine, so patience is a must. He continues to gain confidence the longer he gets acclimated to his surroundings. Watts would probably do best with a fenced in yard, but isnt necessary. He goes on a tie just fine. We have practiced with the invisible fence, but we dont think its a good option due to him bolting forward rather than moving back from it. Watts would be a great candidate for condo or apartment living as he's on the quiet side and doesn't need a ton of exercise.

Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Oakley came into the shelter with a horrible condition of mange and he is also sight impaired. He went into foster care and this is what his foster mom says about him "Oakley is a very sweet boy. He loves to cuddle, especially with humans and my other dogs. He is blind so if he gets startled he can be a little temperamental. He is very curious about my cats but when he doesn't know they are next to him it startles him. He's only shown food aggression once so when he learns food will always be available, he doesn't guard it. He is learning how to use stairs as well as potty training. He willingly gets in his kennel. The last photo was him when he first arrived at the shelter. He is now available for adoption and looking for that special home. He is a great dog but needs a home without any cats or small animals as they startle him and he doesn't know how to react due to his blindness. If interested, please call the shelter at 231-861-5395 and leave a message to be placed on this dog's adoption list. No obligation, but it reserves your place in line on the list. The shelter will contact individuals as they appear on the list. Ask about adoption transportation assistance if you do not live in the local area. The adoption fee is $95 and you receive certificates for $50 towards spay/neuter and $10 towards rabies vaccine if not already done. All dogs are heartworm tested, receive a DHLPP, flea and tick treatment, a bordetella vaccination and are dewormed.
