Meet Fudge - This sweet 4 year-old male Weimaraner is a mix and we believe 90% Weim and 10% labor beagleor terrier.or spunk! This little long-tailed lovie was picked up as a stray in Ohio. He was a mess - neglected, malnourished and very thin, and flea-ridden with lots of sores on his poor body. Thankfully the Warden called GLWR as he knew the rescue would step up and give this young boy a chance at a much better life. Long-time foster Family Steph & Neil Grantz also couldnt say no and wanted to nurse this 4 year old doggie to good health and agreed to foster him. On day one they gave him the adorable name of Fudge because he was just SOOO SWEET! Fast forward two months and the improvement and progress is remarkable. Healed & healthy; Fudge is now ready to be adopted into his forever home. Fudge loves life and his foster family and everyone hes met on his journey, even the vet! Fudge KNOWS he has been rescued! He is like a brand new dog now! We cant believe that through it all, he has been so loving and so trusting! Fudge is good with other dogs as long as they like to play! He wants to horse around and engage with his foster brothers - but theyre on the older side so hes not getting as much mat time as hed like! He LOVES his toys and needs tough ones that last! We believe Fudge would be best as the only dog in the home - but he will need to have play time & definitely exercise on a daily basis. Fudge loves attention and affection and is a real snuggle bug. Hes hooked on sports and action movies. Fudge is an escape artist & can to squeeze through small spaces and is a jumper - so a 6 foot fence or solid tie out will be a must. Fudge could be classed as a professional counter surfer - HE will do anything to get bread & cheese! He has no anxiety in a crate and is happy to be there safe and sound because he is a chewer! If Fudge sounds like your forever friend - please fill out an app today!

More about this rescue
Great Lakes Weimaraner Rescue is an all-volunteer, not-for-profit group whose primary mission is to help with the rescue & placement of Weims in the Great Lakes region; including Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Ontario.
Dogs that enter our rescue are placed into our foster care network which provides a stable, loving family environment. Each dog's medical & emotional needs are provided for as they wait for their new "forever" home. We believe that every dog deserves a chance to enjoy a good life. We adhere to a "no-kill" philosophy.
GLWR was created in an effort to support & provide for the rescue, recovery, care, rehabilitation & re-homing of Weims in need across the Great Lakes region. No one individual is GLWR...we came together to form a collective & collaborative organization with our sole purpose being to assist Weims in need. We work with the various networks of shelters and containment facilities in several states as well as accept owner relinquishments. We exist solely on the generous donations of those who love these majestic "gray ghosts" as much as we do & the fund raising efforts of our very talented and energetic group. All funds received are used to support the vet care & other essential expenses necessary in the daily care of the dogs.
We believe in doing everything possible to help a dog make the transition to their forever home. We are here for the Weims & the Weims alone...our reward lies not in the accolades of being "rescuers" but in the gratitude we see in the bright, loving eyes of one of our Weims as they move onto their forever home... dogs that were once sad, dejected, & without hope that now have a chance to experience the love and warmth of a family that will truly love and care for them.
