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. 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
Riley, is my son’s 8-year-old German Shepherd / Pit Bull Terrier mix with the biggest heart and strongest personality. She is funny, gentle, affectionate, and deeply loving. She smiles when she’s happy, leans in for comfort, and bonds fiercely with her people.Riley was rescued two years ago by my son, he was informed that she was abused. Because of that trauma, she needs to be the only pet in a calm, stable home with someone patient and experienced. My son and her moved back home as he plans to leave for the army and we keep her and our dog separate at all times. This decision is heartbreaking, but she deserves peace, security, and the chance to truly thrive.Riley is incredibly loyal once she trusts you and will love her person with her whole soul. We are seeking a compassionate, responsible home where she can feel safe and cherished for the rest of her life.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hi there! My name is Ludo, and I’m just a baby puppy with a very big heart.  I’m sweet, curious about the world, and extra fluffy—which makes me absolutely perfect for snuggles (I take this job very seriously). I love all things stuffed—stuffed toys, plushies, squeaky friends… if it’s soft, I’m probably carrying it around proudly. I also really enjoy hanging out with big dogs and learning how to be a good pup by watching them. I’m doing great in my kennel and I’m working hard on potty training—I’m learning more every day and trying my best to be a good boy. With a little patience and lots of love, I know I’ll get the hang of everything in no time! Mostly, I’m just looking for a forever family who will love me, play with me, cuddle me, and help me grow up to be the best dog I can be. If you’re looking for a sweet, fluffy, snuggly puppy to join your family… I might be your guy! Love, Ludo  Ludo is from a local reservation.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Lilly is a darling little sweetheart with a growing confidence and playful spirit! She’s not quite sold on being outdoors yet, but she has conquered potty pad training — even if she’s still working on perfecting her aim on the pad (she’s trying, promise). As of this weekend, Lilly has blossomed into playtime and now loves toys and chasing balls. She already knows commands like “come” and “be patient,” and she responds best to praise and encouragement over treats — she lives for kind words and love. Lilly is also improving beautifully with kennel training, only crying once last night before settling down for the night. She’s finished her worm meds and is feeling much more comfortable and healthy now. Lilly is a sweet, sensitive pup who will shine in a patient, loving home ready to celebrate her progress. Lilly is from a local reservation. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application.
