Story
Allow me to introduce Willie, a strikingly handsome 1-year-old male currently under foster care in Grand Haven, Michigan. Willie embodies all the aristocratic qualities of a Weimaraner but comes with a strong-willed and exuberant personality that sets him apart. Willie is a sociable and dog-friendly fellow who thoroughly enjoys playtime, although it's essential for any introduction to male dogs to be conducted calmly and under control. It's important to note that Willie is not suitable for households with small animals, little dogs, or children. He thrives in a Weimaraner-experienced home with ample space for him to run and engage in all things "dog." He's remarkably loyal, affectionate, and possesses an impressive nose, which suggests that he may be trainable for hunting if initiated promptly. Willie is highly motivated by food and holds his valued possessions dear. While he gets along with people, he can exhibit protectiveness over his belongings when interacting with other dogs. Willie has undergone some professional training but is still a young diamond in the "ruff." His perfect home would consist of adults only, set in a more rural environment with plenty of space for him to roam, play, and potentially explore his hunting instincts. It's crucial that his future family understands the significance of structure, consistency, and patience in the home, as these elements will allow this big goof to reveal what an incredible and devoted companion he truly is. If you have experience with dog training and the time to invest in Willie's development, you're sure to discover that he's a gem waiting to shine as a loyal and dedicated member of your family.

Story
Meet Chief, a vibrant 5-year-old currently under foster care in Grand Haven, Michigan. Though rumors suggest that Chief may actually be a grey/fawn Doberman, the tabloids are yet to uncover any definitive proof. In his heart, however, Chief firmly believes he's a Weimaraner, and his spirited personality reflects just that. Describing Chief is a delightful challenge: he exudes intense energy, revels in playful antics, and is a self-entertainer who loves tossing toys and dragging sticks (a total goofball, in the best way). He's absolutely crazy about food and snacks, but at the same time, he's as sweet and affectionate as they come, loving you to the moon and back. While Chief can be a bit of an "arse" when he initially meets other male dogs, this initial bluster quickly fades, and he eagerly embraces playtime and socializing. When it comes to meeting female dogs, he's always the picture of a gentleman. However, due to his high energy and exuberance, Chief isn't suitable for a home with small children his enthusiasm could easily result in a knockdown. Chief's ideal home and family would be in an adult-only setting, possibly with 1-2 larger dogs of calm demeanor to balance his energetic spirit. He'd thrive in a spacious, secure yard where he can run laps to his heart's content. Chief is housebroken and crate trained, but establishing a defined schedule for him will be essential until he gets the hang of the routine. This boy exudes happiness and a zest for life like no other. If you're in search of a companion with boundless energy, strength, endurance, and a passion for running, Chief may be your perfect match. He'll be eagerly waiting (likely doing laps while he waits), so don't hesitate his adoption might just happen faster than you think!

Story
Meet Quintin, a distinguished 6-year-old silver Weimaraner who found his way into our rescue with a heart full of resilience. This handsome silver male is the epitome of the Weimaraner spirit loyal, affectionate, and always eager to be by your side. Quintin has a special affinity for his human companions and relishes every moment spent in their company. His days now revolve around the simple joy of daily walks, a newfound favorite that has brought a twinkle to his expressive eyes. While Quintin may not boast extensive leash experience, his enthusiasm for exploring the world on foot is undeniable. Yet, this charming Weimaraner is not one to demand excessive exercise; after a couple of walks each day, he's content to curl up on the couch for some quality snuggle time. Quintin's affectionate nature shines through in his love for belly rubs, as well as his endearing habit of "nooking" on blankets and playing with toys. His gentle demeanor makes him an ideal companion for anyone seeking a loyal and loving furry friend. However, it's essential to note that Quintin thrives as the sole canine in a household. He has made it clear that he prefers not to share his humans or resources with other dogs. Additionally, his athleticism is evident in his ability to clear a 4-foot chain link fence with ease. To ensure his safety, a higher fence or vigilant supervision during outdoor activities is a must. Quintin's playful spirit does come with a high prey drive, as evidenced by a successful bunny chase. As such, we recommend a home without cats or small dogs, as his instincts may pose a risk to these furry friends. In spite of his journey through heartworm treatment and his unique needs, Quintin is a remarkable canine companion with much love to give. If you're ready to open your heart and home to a devoted Weimaraner, Quintin is eagerly awaiting the chance to become your steadfast and loving companion.

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.

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!

At a sprightly 9 years old, this neutered Blue boy is proof that age is just a number, because he's rocking it like a pup in his prime! Currently, Kai resides with a dynamic duo - a married couple and a dynamic doggy duo, an 8-year-old Boxer/Lab mix, and a 9-year-old small mix. And let me tell you, Kai's social skills are top-notch! When the doorbell rings, he'll serenade you with a couple of enthusiastic barks before greeting guests with a wagging tail and the manners of a true gentleman. Kai's daily routine is as structured as a puppy preschool syllabus. From morning walks to backyard breaks, he's got it all planned out. But the highlight of his day? Bedtime, baby! Kai's the king of snuggles, always first in line for a cozy cuddle session. And let's talk about his bathroom etiquette, shall we? This pooch is more reliable than your morning alarm clock. Not a single accident in the house - talk about impressive! Plus, he's a pro at sharing the love. If one of his furry siblings gets some scratches and snuggles, you can bet Kai's patiently waiting for his turn. Now, when it comes to hobbies, Kai's got a bit of a wild side. He's a seasoned pro at squirrel chasing, though he's yet to prove his fence-hopping skills. But hey, why bother when there's so much love and fun to be had on this side? So, if you're looking for a canine companion who's part pup, part perpetual joy machine, look no further than Kai! Just be prepared to give him the love and attention he deserves - and maybe a few extra scratches behind the ears.
