Interested in learning more about fostering?

We have many Weims waiting for rescue, especially senior dogs, and we cannot help them without a home for them to stay. GLWR covers all vet costs for foster dogs and can provide other supplies as needed.

Active Outdoor Gal Seeks...Everything!

Hi everyone, my name is Sierra. I'm a busy gal and am looking for a person or two who can keep up with me. I want to chase anything moving , including (but not limited to) all furry and feathered creatures, people, bicycles, water skiers, insects, etc. – although my foster mom is still working hard to curb this enthusiastic trait. Translation: I’ll need your full attention (experience with headstrong doggies like me would be beneficial) and to be your one and only dog. (I want all dogs to bow down to me, and if they don’t I can get quite pushy and controlling. In fact, I want everyone to look to me as the head honcho.)

My sad history before coming to the rescue included being attacked by other dogs twice while walking on a leash with my owner in our neighborhood. Now, I tend to assume an attack is coming and fearfully go into self-protection mode when approached by another dog when I'm on a leash. I'd really love a home in a rural area where I can exercise safely and without fear. I really don't want to be hurt again, that was not fun.

I’m your typical want-to-be-with-you weimie. I have the typical Weim traits like looking for goodies on the counter and in the garbage (I'll take it out for you...one piece at at time!).

I can also make sure your backyard is free from any furry creatures that may visit to eat your flowers and veggie plants. You could say I'm the ultimate "organic" pest-controller! It's probably best if I go to a home without small furry things residing in it.

I’m used to being around big people (teenagers+) and would do best in an adult-only home . I say this just because I like to chase anything that’s running (and is littler than I am). Parents don't always appreciate my attempts to help keep the kids orderly with my nips to ensure submission if they get too rowdy. Go figure.

I can be crated at night, but it’s not my favorite place...that would be on the floor right next to your bed (or after you’re asleep, sneaking up on the bed). You may want to consider crating me during the day though unless your home and garbage are truly Weim-proofed!

They say I have a goofy side since I like to lay upside down and enjoy a good roll in the grass or on the carpet. I will also follow you around the house with my stuffie to show you how very proud I am of my "catch". I will also entertain you with my "woowooing" when I want your attention or for you to step it up when putting my food bowl down (can you say very melodic train wail?).

I’ll always be testing you to see how much I can get away with. In return for your diligence, I will cuddle with you on the couch and at night in your bed, be a great watch dog, keep you company on card rides and make sure you’re well-exercised. I am eight healthy years young and I LOVE TO RUN!! I would make a great jogging partner!

Speaking of my health, I was born with a “fold” in my bladder which means I can’t always empty completely but a pill twice a day does a good job of controlling that. I am otherwise house trained.

I learned to swim and fish last year so a trip to the water once in a while would be SO much fun. I will also give you the privilege of giving me belly rubs, which puts me into a blissful trance….please don’t stop!

I've got a lot to give, are you ready?????
Let's go, go go!

"I am an Animal Rescuer"

Rescue Me

My job is to assist God's creatures
I was born with the drive to fulfill their needs
I take in helpless, unwanted, homeless creatures
without planning or selection
I have bought dog food with my last dime
I have patted a mangy head with a bare hand
I have hugged someone vicious and afraid
I have fallen in love a thousand times
And I have cried into the fur of a lifeless body too many times to count
I have Animal Friends and friends who have animal friends
I don't often use the word "pet"
I notice those lost at the road side
And my heart aches
I know of no creature unworthy of my time
I want to live forever if there aren't animals in Heaven
But I believe there are
Why would God make something so perfect and leave it behind
Some may think we are master of the animals
But the animals have mastered themselves
Something people still haven't learned
War and Abuse make me hurt for the world
But a rescue that makes the news gives me hope for mankind
We are a quiet but determined army
And we are making a difference every day
There is nothing more necessary than warming an orphan
nothing more rewarding than saving a life
No higher recognition than watching them thrive
There is no greater joy than seeing a baby play
who only days ago, was too weak to eat
By the love of those who I've been privileged to rescue
I have been rescued
I know what true unconditional love really is
for I've seen it shining in the eyes of so many
Grateful for so little
I am an Animal Rescuer
My work is never done
My home is never quiet
My wallet is always empty
But my heart is always full

Calling all cooks!

Cookbook Recipes needed

GLWR is compiling a recipe book to sell as a fundraiser and we need your favorite original recipes for both canines and humans. (Please obey copyright laws and do not knowingly lift recipes from other cookbooks.)

We'd also love a photo of your dog(s) and to know a little about them. People may also be in the picture if you'd like. If you have a funny story, we'd love to hear that too! We will be including all of these in the cookbook. Think along the lines of "You might have a Weim if..." or "I can't believe my dog did..." or other Weimarisms.

Please send as many recipes as you'd like asap to:

cyndiray9@yahoo.com

Could you foster
one of us?

We need loving homes to stay in until our forever families find us. GLWR will pay any vet expenses while we are with you.
