Story
Meet Remy Lynn - 7 year old silver female Weimaraner - currently being fostered in Mercer, Pennsylvania. Remy is looking for a quiet home with a single man who's looking for companionship. Okay - let's be honest - Remy Lynn is looking for a Sugar Daddy... Someone to cuddle with while watching a good movie on TV, munching on popcorn & Milkbones. Remy Lynn loves going for walks and her gentle nature with accepting snacks show shes ready to keep learning and growing. Remy Lynn will need continued work on leash reactivity and her guarding behavior (no kids in the home). She will thrive in a calm and structured home where she can be the only dog. Remy Lynn is a sweet dog who's been making progress, especially with her bond to foster Dad Mark. She will need an owner who understands her needs: reactive on her walks - doesn't like cars, other dogs, and people. She needs to be introduced to people properly - outdoors and slowly. Remy needs a routine and time to build her confidence so she can learn to not be so afraid of new things. GLWR believes Remy is a dog with a lot of potential once shes in the right environment with the right person who understands her needs. In her foster home for a month now, Remy has made amazing strides, especially with her comfort in receiving belly rubs and settling into a routine. She will no doubt blossom with a patient adopter & continued training. Remy is ready to meet you - fill out an application to adopt her today!

Story
Chevy is a wonderful 8 year old Weim mix - likely with a lab, currently being fostered in Grand Haven, Michigan. Chevy is very affectionate , sweet and loves to run and play fetch, especially chase a frisbee or ball. He could play all day and its the best way to get his energy out! Chevy also likesto swim and hike. Hes very well behaved, had great recall and doesnt wander or stray from the yard. Overall, I would say he is eager to please. He is very low maintenance as far as grooming goes. I just regularly dremel his nails for our wood floors sake. Chevy is really good with kids and other dogs-just playful and excitable, never aggressive. Chevy will need exercise EVERY DAY, whether its fetch; a run or a hike - he needs to be with an active person or family. Whines sometimes & doesnt always relax in the car, he will shed, & he likes to lick/sniff things, paces, gets very excitable. This lovely boy is good with kids, loves to be active, is fully potty trained & can free roam when left alone. What the heck are you waiting for??? Apply to adopt Chevy today!

Meet Piper, a charming 9-year-old male Weimaraner whos ready to steal your heart! With his sweet nature and playful energy, Piper often acts much younger than his years.

Story
Douglas, affectionately known as Uncle Doug, is a happy-go-lucky Weimaraner with a silver coat that shimmers in the sunlight. At 6 years old, this neutered male is a bundle of joy and a true entertainer at heart. Personality and Traits:Douglas is a social butterfly who loves to greet everyone with his signature woo woo welcome. He has a playful spirit and enjoys rummaging through his toy box picking out his favorites,like his absolute fave wooden chew block (a must have for him), often serenading his family with his Bing Crosby-like croons. His tail is always wagging, even in his sleep, showing his constant joy and affection. Dog and Kid Friendly:Douglas is friendly with other dogs, especially larger ones, though he has lived harmoniously with a smaller dog. He is a bit of a "pied Piper" to the younger dogs and they love following their"uncle Douggie" around the yard on his sniffing strolls! He is also good with kids, particularly those over 10 years old, making him a wonderful family companion fora family with an olderset of children. Due to hissize he can be a bit overwhelming forlittle ones. People Friendly:While Douglas loves people, he can be a bit barky until he gets to exchange greetings. Once he knows you, hes all about cuddles and companionship. Living Habits:Douglas is a free-roamer who is perfectly content exploring the house. He can be crated for short periods but prefers lounging on the couch or a doggie bed. Hes known to pilfer a thing or two for his own amusement, often taking his treasures out the dog door. Grooming Needs:As a long-haired Weimaraner, Douglas requires occasional grooming to keep his handsome appearance. Regular trims of his toe tufts and coat ensure he looks his dapper best. Energy Level:Douglas has a lower to moderate energy level. He enjoys leisurely strolls and the occasional zoomie but is generally a laid-back fellow. A solid 5-6 ft fenced yard is ideal for him, though he might adapt to an e-collar fence with proper training. Environment:Douglas thrives in a rural setting where he can watch deer, bunnies, and ducks. Hes also vigilant about package deliveries, ensuring no mishandling occurs. Car Rides and Crates:Douglas enjoys car rides and is happy to accompany you on your travels. While he can be crated for short periods, he much prefers the freedom to roam the house and serenade you upon your return. If youre looking for a handsome, melodic, and pure-hearted companion to enrich your life, Douglas is sure to win your heart with his charm and warmth
