Mission: Great Lakes Weimaraner Rescue (GLWR) is a federally sanctioned non-profit all volunteer organization dedicated to the overall welfare of Weimaraner dogs in the Great Lakes region. We strive to rescue, rehabilitate and re-home Weimaraners who through no fault of their own are unwanted, abandoned, neglected, and discarded or whose families can no longer provide care for them. GLWR is dedicated to working cooperatively with animal shelters, rescue groups and individuals to raise public awareness of purebred overpopulation and the plight of dogs raised in puppy mills. Our program attempts to educate prospective and current owners about the breed and responsible pet ownership and promotes spay and neuter programs. We offer owners an alternative to surrender by providing consulting services with a Certified Personal Pet Dog Trainer (CPDT) in the hope that one less dog will enter the shelter and rescue system. We also offer ongoing professional assistance to adopting families to help overcome behavioral and training problems. Our goal is for every Weimaraner to become a beloved, contributing family member.

Results: In the twelve years of operation we have helped to re-home more than 2,400 Weimaraners though out the United States. We operate in 5 states and Canada and provide an alternative to traditional shelter environments.
