Story
I adopted Fin, my Catahoula Leopard Dog, from Noah’s Project when he was just a puppy. Now at seven years old, he has grown into a wonderful companion. From the moment I brought him home, he captured my heart with his playful spirit and loyal nature. Fin loves to play ball and is always eager for a game of fetch. He enjoys long walks, and his friendly demeanor makes him a great companion on adventures. After two years, I decided to adopt another dog, and Fin welcomed the new addition with open paws, proving he’s not only good with other pets but also incredibly adaptable. He’s great with kids and elderly family members. One of his favorite things is to have his belly rubbed; he could enjoy that all day long! He’s never tried to run away and always stays close by my side, which is a testament to his loyalty and bond with me. He is a genuine good dog. I am sad to see him go but I know someone out there would give him the attention he needs.

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
Gracie is looking for her Frankie Are you looking for loving companionship and a reason to get out every day for a walk? If you answered YES - Grace may be a perfect match. 11 year old Grace is on the lookout for an owner to share the silver moments of her life with. She prefers watching Wheel of Fortune to Jeopardy but if shes honest its because she finds Ryan Seacrest incredibly handsome. Shes happy to snuggle on the couch no matter whats on the TV! Grace is a spry Weim with a loving heart and a spirit that refuses to be confined by calendar years. Ideally suited for a quieter home, she thrives with companionship and would love someone with the time to indulge in daily walks and cuddle time. Grace thrives on being Queen of her Castle and would be best as the only dog in the home. She could happily call a condo or apartment home. Grace comes with a wealth of manners, having mastered house training and basic commands. Trustworthy when left to roam freely, her only vice is expert counter surfing so we recommend you tuck away any tempting treats before you leave. Graces secret to staying youthful is fully embracing the importance of beauty sleep, with daytime naps that rival the peacefulness of her nighttime snoring serenades. 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. If you're ready to welcome a wise and wonderful Weimaraner into your home, let's make the rest of her years the best! Apply today We cant wait to take Grace on a joyful Freedom Ride!

Story
Stanley is a playful and affectionate dog. He is a 6-year-old Texas Heeler, an Australian Cattle Dog/Border Collie mix. We got him from a rescue at 6 months old. He weighs 50 pounds. He loves any form of fetch and has excelled at any training or activity we have done with him. He's pretty good at frisbee! He loves to cuddle and curl up at your feet. He does not do well alone for long stretches, so you would need someone home with him in general. He's fine for like 6 hours at a time. We would like to keep him, but we have a toddler and a baby who is looking to start walking, and Stanley bumps the girls over (like when walking past). He's great with kids other than that, we just think he'd be better with older kids. He gets along with other dogs in general, but would be better with bigger, non-aggressive dogs. We'd have to introduce any potential pet-siblings and see how they get along.
