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

Story
Kaya just turned 7 years old in November. We are relocating and would love to find her a home with a family. She is a dog who loves to talk at you, smiles when she is happy and or playing. She will bark at strangers coming down the driveway. Good early warning system. :) She was purchased from a Pierz MN resident who raises white and silver purebred shepherds. She prefers the outdoors and currently occupies a very large run (50 yards by 25 yards. We bring her into the house where she gets a treat then wants to head back outside and play. She is definitely playful, doesn't jump up on people, loves to smile and loves to talk and is kind of sassy when she does.

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.
