Happy Easter to those who celebrate.

As we gather with family & friends - we are reminded of the importance of what GLWR’s small team of volunteer dog rescuerers do every day. We are extremely grateful for our donors, followers, volunteers & adopters.

Yesterday George & Susan CHOSE Ferran - a sweet Weim mix who was ABANDONED in a small wire crate in the freezing cold garage of a FORECLOSED home in January.

GLWR is a pure-bred Weim rescue. That said, there are times when we CANNOT SAY NO and turn away a Weim Mix to an uncertain fate. It’s always about the dogs. This means that some dogs are with us for longer because they’re overlooked….but let me tell you - they are just as deserving of your love, warmth, good food and a home where they are “inside dogs” - on heartworm prevention, have their nails clipped, get to ride in your car to the pet store to chose a new stuffie, join you on walks to the dog park, and get to snooze on your warm lap & watch TV.

GLWR has five more Weim mix doggies waiting for YOU!

Look at these deserving dogs - apply this weekend.

It will be our pleasure to help them find their way to your home and heart.
