Welcome to the home of Great Lakes Mastiff Rescue!

Great Lakes Mastiff Rescue (“GLMR”) has been helping pure-bred Mastiffs and their families since 2004. We serve the states of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin and Western Pennsylvania. Made up of over 100 volunteers across the region, GLMR has rehomed hundreds of Mastiffs since its inception. We offer our adoptive families a support network to ease the transition of the Mastiff into its forever home. GLMR also has counseled many families to provide support, encouragement and training advice to help keep Mastiffs in their homes. The care we provide our Mastiffs includes a high quality diet, the best veterinary care, and behavioral evaluations of the highest quality.

The recent economic downturn has been a challenge. GLMR has received many calls for help from families that have lost their home or have a Mastiff that needs medical treatment they can't afford. GLMR’s overall expenditure per dog in 2011 was $869.43 which is an increase of $227.00 per dog over 2010. Since we are a 501(c)3 tax exempt charitable organization, your tax deductible donation can be made through PayPal from the Donate link on this page or be mailed to us at: Great Lakes Mastiff Rescue, PO Box 308, Bolingbrook, IL 60440.
