Michigan Weimaraner Rescue Inc.
Special Care Project
Michigan Weimaraner Rescue is proud to announce a new division of our
rescue, the "Special Care Project". Areas of this program that are still
in development include but are not limited to a special needs and hospice
foster care program and a virtual foster program allowing individuals
to become benefactors to senior, special needs and hospice dogs. We are
most excited to announce that our Seniors to Seniors program is up and
running.
Studies have consistently shown that sharing your life with a canine companion
decreases stress and has many beneficial health effects.
We all know living with our gray ones makes us better people. Many times,
the main obstacle to seniors adopting and owning a pet are the costs involved.
Through MWR's Senior to Senior program, senior dogs (over 7yrs) will be
matched to senior adopters (over 60 yrs).
Adoption fees will be reduced to half, and some of the normal health costs
such as monthly heart worm preventative and Rabies shots will be included
with the adoption. We appreciate everyone's help to make this work; that
may be anything from informing the senior Weim lovers in your life of
the program, to doing home checks, or offering transport help in getting
the dogs to their new home, or helping a senior get their pet into a veterinarian.
And of course, monetary donations are always welcome.
