He doesn't know any specific commands but looks to his humans for direction and will listen when you speak to him. Buddy Boy is potty trained and will hop by the door when he needs to go. He is also kennel trained and will go in when he knows you're getting ready to leave. He likes the occasional bite of steak from his humans. Buddy Boy has done well with older kids and other dogs. He has not met cats or young children. All introductions to new places and faces should be done slowly. His previous home described him and friendly, smart, and loyal. *Adoption holds may be placed on available animals in person or by calling (320) 252-0896.

Story
Location: Otsego, MN If you're looking for a smart, loyal companion who loves toys and is always down to play, meet Ari! This handsome Border Collie/German Shepherd mix is fully house-trained, kennel-trained, and has excellent leash manners. Ari is a fun-loving guy who needs a little time to warm up to other dogs, but once he’s comfortable, it’s a non-stop play fest. Because he has that classic herding dog intelligence and high energy, he can get a bit overwhelmed by the quick movements and unpredictability of toddlers, so he's looking for a home with no small kids where he can truly shine. Fully neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations, Ari is ready to bring a whole lot of love to his perfect forever home! --------------- The best way to show interest in an animal is to submit an adoption application by visiting our website (www.rescuenetworkmn.org). Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, all age-appropriate vaccinations (distemper, rabies, and bordetella), heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, heartworm test (dogs), FIV/FeLV test (cats), dewormed, and microchip implant (including registration). Rescue Network is strictly foster based which means all adoptable animals are in a home and there cannot be a meet until an application is submitted and approved. We have no way of knowing the breeds in the animals. All breeds listed are best guess.

Story
🐾 Meet Flynn! 🐾 Flynn is a 2-year-old Border Collie/Lab mix looking for a foster home where he can settle in and enjoy the stability he deserves. He is friendly with adults, older children, other dogs, and cats, making him an easy addition to many households. Flynn has a calm, affectionate personality and enjoys spending time near his people. He is social and attentive without being overly demanding or clingy. As a young adult dog, he has a wonderful balance of energy and maturity. Flynn responds well to gentle guidance and thrives when he has structure and consistency. He would benefit from a foster home that can help him continue learning basic manners and establish a daily routine. Because he is still adjusting to new surroundings, he should be supervised during outdoor time while he settles in. Flynn is a sweet, steady companion with no known history of aggression and a lot of love to give. All he needs now is a safe place to land and a foster willing to help him take the next step toward a bright future.

Story
First, his looks catch your eye. Then you learn about his personality and you're hooked! Blaze is a 54#, 5-year-old Border Collie with a sunny personality and a zest for life that's as bright as a perfect summer day. He thinks every day should include a game of fetch or frisbee and plenty of time spent with his favorite people. Happy-go-lucky, affectionate, and adventurous, Blaze loves being part of the action, whether that's a morning walk, a trip to the park, or a backyard barbecue. His energy level is a wonderful balance: he's always ready for fun and activity, and he's equally happy to relax and enjoy downtime with his family afterward. Blaze would thrive with an active, herding breed-experienced family that appreciates both his intelligence and enthusiasm. He walks beautifully on leash without pulling and is well-socialized in the world. He's crate trained and keeps four on the floor. He knows a few basic obedience commands and wants to learn more. With his smarts, a little time and some good treats, and we bet he can learn anything! A fenced yard would be ideal for Blaze so he has room to stretch his legs and enjoy his favorite games. He can happily live as an only dog or with a canine companion. He is a herding dog, which includes nipping at ankles if given the opportunity. Families with older kids are the best fit no littles, please. He likes to check cats out, but is not aggressive. He could live with dog-savvy felines. Blaze will be an even happier boy when he loses roughly 7-8 lbs. If you're looking for a loyal adventure buddy who will happily join you for all of life's summer fun, and then curl up nearby when the day is done, Blaze may be your perfect match! APPLY to adopt him at hoabcr.org/how-to-adopt Blaze is being fostered in Clear Lake, MN. His adoption fee is $450 + MN sales tax. He is neutered, microchipped and up to date on age-appropriate vaccines. Upon adoption, all of our dogs go to their new homes with a collar and harness, leash, starter food, blanket, favorite toys & treats. They are current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention. As a foster-based rescue, we do not have a central facility to visit. Meet and greets with specific dogs are arranged once your adoption application (not an inquiry through Petfinder) has been received, processed, and approved. We are located in Minnesota and adopt to an area 400 miles from Minneapolis/St. Paul.

Story
Meet Cupcake, affectionately known as Cece. Simply stated, she is a delight! This 36#, 12.5-year-old Sheltie and Border Collie mix who proves that age is just a number. She has plenty of pep in her step, a lovely prance when she is happiest, and a zest for life that charms everyone she meets. Describing Cupcake is easy. She's friendly, affectionate, confident, curious, observant and just a bit spicy. She wants to be close to her people, joining in on whatever they are doing. Whether its accompanying them on a leisurely stroll, supervising backyard activities, or simply lounging nearby for ear and butt scratches, Cece enjoys being part of the family. Her ideal day includes a couple of walks where she can stop and investigate interesting smells along the way. Her ears perk up, her tail rises proudly, and off she goes, ready to explore the world one sniff at a time. A few tosses of a Frisbee or ball, rolling in the grass, watching birds from the deck, and savoring peanut butter frozen treats are also high on her list of favorites. Cupcake would thrive in a home that appreciates a medium-energy companion. She doesn't need a fenced yard if she can spend time exploring safely on a leash. She's fine with another calm, low-key dog or as the canine center of attention. She does well with cats and even naps alongside her feline friends. Because quick movements can startle her, Cupcake would do best in a home without young children. She prefers to dine alone without concern for another dog trying to get at her food dish. She is completing a 30-day course of doxycycline for Lyme disease as a precaution: she is not symptomatic. She is a healthy, happy girl with lots of love to give. If you're looking for a loyal companion for walks, adventures, and cozy evenings, Cece may be the perfect match. APPLY to adopt her at hoabcr.org/how-to-adopt Cupcake is being fostered in Lindstrom, MN. Cupcake's adoption fee is $250 + MN sales tax. She is spayed and up to date on age-appropriate vaccines. Upon adoption, all of our dogs go to their new homes with a collar and harness, leash, starter food, blanket, favorite toys & treats. They are current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention.

Story
**SCOOTER'S COFFEE GENEROUSLY CONTRIBUTED $50 TO THIS ANIMAL'S ADOPTION FEE!** Meet Colt! Colt is a high-energy dog who would love a very active home - a job would be even better! We think he would make a perfect addition to some farms because he likes to stay busy. He spent a few weeks in a foster home (in an apartment), and his foster reported he did very well! "He is really calm when I work from home and doesn’t bother me. He doesn’t get into anything, and he is 100 percent potty trained." Colt also learned not to pull on his leash. "It took him like a day to learn how to loose leash walk. I take him on runs, and he knows how to match my pace." Colt is a fast learner and already knows sit, down, and crate. Colt loves fetch and tug-of-war, but he's equally happy to snuggle in someone's lap. He is a super sweet dog, with two catches - he does not like being around small children OR cats. His foster said that he barks when he sees kids. He is very friendly with new people although he does bark a bit at first. *Adoption holds may be placed on available animals in person or by calling (320) 252-0896. An adoption hold reserves available animals for one day after the animal is ready to be adopted. More than one adoption hold may be placed on an available animal and will be honored in the order they were received.

Story
Meet Bandit! This handsome chap is looking for his furrever home! Bandit has been around other dogs and did well with them. Bandit is also good with kids of all ages, although when he's excited he can be a little jumpy. He has not been around cats, but he had a habit of chasing neighbor chickens, so we recommend doing a slow introduction to see how he does. Ask staff for tips! Bandit does well in a crate and is used to being kenneled when home alone. He does fairly well on the leash but is still working on pulling and can occasionally get distracted. Lots of patience and positive reinforcement will help Bandit blossom into the best boy he can be. Bandit does have moderate energy and tends to be destructive with toys. He loves ripping them apart - but if you'd rather avoid the mess, he also enjoys the tough chewer toys! He also loves to learn - he knows sit, stay, and "no"! Bandit also *loves* the water. It is his favorite thing! Could Bandit steal your heart? Come meet him today! *Adoption holds may be placed on available animals in person or by calling (320) 252-0896.

Story
Meet Dai Mar – The Gentle Gentleman with a Playful Spark! Age: 12 years (13 in August) | Breed: Australian Shepherd/Cattle Dog Mix Weight:    66 lbs | Adoption Fee: $375 | Neutered: Yes Don’t let his age fool you— Dai Mar may be a senior in years, but he still has the heart (and play drive!) of a much younger pup. This sweet, easygoing guy loves squeaky toys, a good game of tug-of-war, and—most of all—being near his people. He’s the kind of companion who’ll be by your side through thick and thin, offering loyalty, love, and the occasional goofy grin. Dai Mar is friendly with everyone he meets, including other dogs, cats, and respectful kiddos. He’s potty trained with a regular routine but does have an occasional accident, hasn’t needed to be crated, preferring to spend his time near the people he loves. While he's mostly agile, he occasionally needs a little help going up and down steps—but he’s still active and enjoys moving around. He is a vocal guy when it comes to unexpected noises, so a quiet, calm home would suit him best. If you’re looking for a gentle, devoted friend with a golden heart and a playful streak, Dai Mar might be the perfect match for you. He’s ready to bring joy, love, and companionship into a home that will treasure him as much as he’ll treasure you. Ready to meet Dai Mar? Apply today and give this sweet senior the cozy, love-filled home he deserves. A s a rescue, we provide the care, procedures and testing that is available to us. Adopters will be responsible for continued preventatives, follow-up appointments, and medications (if applicable). At times, adopters will be responsible for procedures not completed in rescue (dentals, bloodwork, etc.)  Your new dog will receive their rabies and distemper vaccine.  $50 discount for seniors (65+) and veterans. Adoption fees help pay for the dog's veterinary exam, vaccinations (rabies and distemper) HW test and spay/neuter if needed and additional health needs specific to each animal.   Grey Face Rescue does not adopt outside of Minnesota for now. We apologize for the inconvenience.  We do not adopt animals to families whose current pets are not up-to-date on vaccinations or not altered. Exceptions may be made for medical reasons as stated by a veterinarian and we will require proof of that recommendation. Thank you for understanding our mission to reduce overpopulation.  Once you submit your application, our adoption manager will be in touch, so please check your spam folder if you do not see something from us within 7-10 days.  Thank you again for your interest in a Grey Face senior. We appreciate your support!     October 11, 2025, 9:59 pm
