One girls’ mission to fight for the underdogs and make an impact in dog rescue one dog at a time. Focusing on dogs that may have physical, medical, and other special needs. Disabilities ranging from blindness, deafness, confidence, reactive, to otherwise disable dogs. Dedicated to giving these animals the best chance of survival by providing lifesaving medical or training and letting them experience what it feels to know love and compassion. With the goal of teaching them to trust, and when they are ready, find their furever home. Simple Girl Doggie Haven (SGDH) mission is to save the lives of what are considered unadoptable by most shelters.. According to the ASPCA, every year 6.5 million animals enter shelters nationwide, and of these, 1.5 million are euthanized due to time and space. With medical being high on the list due to the cost of treating these animals. The goal is to reduce companion animal homelessness (especially the unadoptable) through establishing a network within rescues and shelters; supporting the community to keep pets in their homes; reducing the number of unwanted animals with aggressive spay/neuter services; and strengthen the human-animal bond through education & outreach programs. Rescue and Adoptions Simple Girl Doggie Haven plans to partner with local animal shelters whose animals are at high risk of euthanasia both in and out of Michigan and be able to save some of their unadoptable dogs. These dogs would include but not be limited to: puppies who due to their immature immune systems are highly susceptible to illness, pregnant or nursing dams who need a safe environment to raise their babies, dogs who are struggling emotionally or physically in the shelter environment, dogs who have run out of time in the shelter system, and dogs who are in need of specialized training. SGDH will not discriminate based on breed. The organization will be foster and volunteer based. We feel that foster homes are a better option due to the one-on-one attention these dogs will be receiving. It will also help reduce overhead which will allow more of the donations we receive to be directly applied to saving dogs.

Located in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Michele’s Rescue is a 501c3 non-profit animal rescue which was started in 1997. We are a no kill rescue that takes in and adopts out animals from all over the country. Most of the animals we take in are in line to be “put-down” and need rescues like ours to help them find a happy and loving home. These animals are vaccinated, microchipped, treated for parasites and fleas, heartworm tested and most importantly spayed/neutered. The only thing wrong with our animals is that they are without a family…your family.

ABOUT US How exactly is the Un-Shelter different from the many other area and regional animal rescues/shelters? Excellent question: · We commit to a small, manageable number of adoptable animals. Period. (Welfare lingo = limited intake) We believe in highly-enriched environments, from home-like kennel spaces to outdoor play. · Our adoption process is different: the emphasis will always be on “best fit, including energy levels and personality. The process begins with a conversation, leads to several animal introductions, counseling at time of adoption (“how-tos” are important!), and ongoing help where needed. · Community is our passion! We want our space to be the hub of the wheel offering humane education, pet-related activities for children and families, social activities for pet caretakers, opportunities to connect pet-related service providers to animal guardians, and as a gathering and event space to serve a variety of community needs. We don’t want you to leave our family! · In our world, ‘community’ also extends to other similar minds, so we provide active support to other shelters and rescues in the region. Our goal is to be a leader in proactive evidence-based education and best practices for staff and volunteers at other area and state-wide shelters and rescues, both on our property and on the road.

GLWR is a foster based rescue organization and does not have a traditional physical kennel facility like many humane societies or animal shelters do. Our dogs are typically housed in family homes and cared for by their foster families until we find a forever home for them. Therefore, our process to meet dogs and to adopt may be different than a normal animal control facility, humane society or animal shelter. All-volunteer group Great Lakes Weimaraner Rescue is an all-volunteer group and our mission is the rescue and placement of Weimaraners in the Great Lakes Region. We work with a network of shelters in several states, as well as owners needing to relinquish their dog. We are a determined group of people, but we couldn’t do anything without your support. Dogs come first We’ve stopped counting the hours of sleep lost with sick dogs and the miles driven to spring others from shelters. The volunteers of GLWR sacrifice daily to give each dog a chance to enjoy a good life. Your generous assistance with driving, gas cards, phone work, fundraising and dog care makes it possible for us to come to the aid of hundreds of dogs. No-kill philosophy GLWR adheres to a no-kill philosophy, and we will never euthanize a dog to make space for another. The waiting list for Weims in need never ends and we do all we can to take dogs in before they, well, cease to need us anymore. Occasionally a dog dies before we can take it in – haunting our dreams and fueling our determination to never lose another. Happy, healthy dogs From the moment a dog is part of GLWR, it’s medical and emotional needs are assessed and provided for. We believe in doing everything possible to help dogs make the transition into their “forever” home. Medical costs are our largest expense and your donations allow us to address health issues without delay. Why we do it? We are here for the Weimaraners and the Weimaraners alone. Our reward lies not in the accolades of being “rescuers”, but in the gratitude we see in the bright, loving eyes of dogs that once were sad, dejected and without hope. With your help, we’ve given them a chance to experience the warmth of a family that will love and care for them.

We are a small rescue that is foster based. We strive to save hounds primarily as well as cats but will take whatever the foster will take.
