Crixus

German Shepherd Dog

Male, Senior

Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
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. We appreciate your support!   October 13, 2025, 5:13 pm

Snowflake

German Shepherd Dog

Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Location: Champlin, MN Hi there! Thank so much for stopping by! While I am known at Rescue Network as Snowflake, I actually answer to Astrid! I am a very sweet, 2-year old lady looking for a family to call my own. My foster mom says I am a very loyal sidekick who believes in stranger danger but endless snuggles once you’re approved! Sometimes I take a moment to size you up, but once I decide you’re cool, you’ve officially been promoted to “favorite human.” I am fully potty trained (let’s be honest, a lady has standards), love to give gentle kisses, and am happiest just being near my people. New faces make me cautious at first, but with a little patience (and maybe a treat or two), I’ll melt into your lap like warm butter. Here’s a few additional fun facts about me: · Dog friendly · People friendly – I might use my voice to greet at first · I love treats and am learning some skills (sit, down, stay) · Mom says I do “ok” on a leash. I don’t pull too much, but when I don’t want to go a certain direction, I make it known that we should go a different way. I currently live with my foster family, which includes 2 active boys (10 & 13) and my fur-sister, Winnie. Winnie and I like to chase and play together. The perfect home for me will have: · Humans who will be patient with me as I can be nervous around new people. · A family who is willing to continue teaching me new skills. If you want a loyal best friend who’s as sweet as she is snuggly — and won’t judge you for binge-watching another season on the couch — Astrid can’t wait to meet you! ---------- 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 a best guess.

Osaka

German Shepherd Dog Rottweiler

Female, Adult
Princeton, MN
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Osaka, the pint-sized tornado with a bark big enough to keep your whole block informed of every passing squirrel, leaf, or suspicious breeze. Subtle? Not her style. But hey, if you’ve ever dreamed of owning your very own furry security system, she’s got you covered. She’s currently perfecting kennel training—translation: she’ll sleep peacefully in her foster’s room, but she’s not shy about reminding you when she thinks bedtime came too soon. Digging is also on her résumé, though whether she’s unearthing buried treasure or just following her nose, only Osaka knows. This girl has energy to spare, so be prepared for zoomies, ball-chasing marathons, and the occasional brain game to keep that clever mind busy. And once she’s worn herself out, she’ll happily claim her favorite spot on the couch to supervise the outside world through the window—because clearly, neighborhood watch is a full-time job. Potty breaks? She’s working on it. Sometimes she’s so eager to get back inside and be with her people that she forgets to finish. Priorities, right? She adores other dogs and always comes ready to play, though her “enthusiastic” style may test the patience of more mellow pups. Her car ride review: “1 star, way too bumpy, but I survived.” On the flip side, she already knows “sit” and “shake,” proving she’s both smart and trainable. With structure, activity, and a family who appreciates her blend of sass and sweetness, Osaka will be the perfect mix of watchdog, workout buddy, and cuddle companion. Osaka is from a local rescue partner. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application.
