Story
We have had Rebel for about little over 2 years. She is energetic, loves walks, and playing. She is great with other dogs, sometimes they just need to get to know each other. She is careful while playing with our Chihuahua. Rebel can jump over a 4 ft fence so we can’t let her roam the yard without being watched. She chews toys, but rarely destroys them.

Story
We took goose in from some friends, he was an outside dog, but with the weather… We’ve had him for about a month getting his potty training up to speed and making sure he will be a good dog. He is the sweetest boy ever, and very outgoing! Shy is definitely not an adjective I’d place on goosey. He’s very cuddly and affectionate. He loves his bones and his food lol. He is very good with kids, and other pets alike. He knows some basic commands as well! We have 2 other dogs that are our permanent pets, but with my background in dog training and breeding, we agreed to foster him until he’s ready for adoption. I can’t say for sure how old he is, the vet and myself best guess is between 2-3 years old. He’s 55 lbs and healthy! We just had him at the vet this week for his shots and general checkup. Goose is a very anxious boy, so we got him a prescription for fluoxetine, as well as calming supplements with his food. It just helps him be more relaxed and keep from bouncing off the walls.

Story
Meet Velma, a 6 year old 55 pound petite Lab mix with a heart as big as her smile! This sweet girl is potty trained, enjoys all the treats, and loves lounging on the couch just as much as she loves her daily walks. She’s done great living with other large dogs and has shown patience and adaptability once given time to settle in. Velma would thrive in a calm home with a patient, experienced adopter—preferably without cats—and would do best with older, respectful kids. If you're looking for a loyal, loving companion who enjoys snuggles and strolls, Velma might be your perfect match!   Age: 6 Breed: Lab Mix Weight: 56 lbs Kid-friendly: Recommend older considerate children Dogs: Yes Cats: Recommend a home without cats, as she loves to chase them. Crate trained: Yes Potty trained: Yes Health concerns: Has mild allergies, taking OTC Benadryl to help Current medications & estimated costs: OTC Benadryl Adoption fee: $375 As 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.

Story
Crixus is an 8-year-old, 65 lb German Shepherd with a gentle soul and a strong heart. He’s mellow and polite in the home, perfectly potty trained, and happy to lounge under the table or near his people as they go about their day. While he loves a good walk and sniffs everything with purpose, he’s also content to kick back and watch the world go by. He’s kid-friendly, dog-curious (but strong on leash), and loves to be outside. Crixus is  not a good match for homes with cats or small dogs , but could potentially live with another large dog after slow introductions. He’ll be neutered before adoption and is ready to start the next chapter of his life with a calm but active family. Age:8 year old Breed: German Shepherd Weight: 65 lbs Kid-friendly: Yes Dogs:Does well with larger dogs with proper introduction, not great with small dogs Cats:No Crate trained: Yes Potty trained: Yes Health concerns: None at this time Current medications & estimated costs:None.  Will be neutered before being adopted.
