Story
If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please complete  an Adoption Request Form. This is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract. To learn more about our adoption process, please visit our Adoption Process page on our website at www.rescuecrew.or Hi My name is Tinkerbell. My foster mom says I'm a total sweetheart ! I love all people that I have met and go with the flow easily. I get along great with my foster dogs. We don't have small children in our foster home but I don't have a mean bone in my body. I love to play and hang out with my people.  I sleep in my kennel without a peep all night long. I'm still learning to walk on a leash but I'm a quick learner. One thing, I am from Texas and I hate the cold weather! I need my jammies or a sweater and I don't like to go out in the cold. I will potty on a potty pad by the door. I do well with that. I'm also not a barker. I prefer to be quiet but I will copy my foster dogs when they bark sometimes. Basically, I'm a great companion for most people and situations. Come and meet me and decide for yourself. I'm sure you will agree.    Age and breed are based on veterinarian and intake professional’s recommendation and not guaranteed as a rescue animal’s history is often unknown. All companion animals adopted by The Rescue Crew are spayed/neutered, up-to-date on age appropriate vaccinations, tested for FIV/FeLK (cats) or heartworm (dogs), microchipped, dewormed and provided with monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives prior to adoption.   The Rescue Crew is a foster based rescue organization, meaning all of our adoptable pets are located in homes throughout Minnesota. We do not have a physical location where you can stop by to visit the animals - we require the completion of an Adoption Request Form prior to meeting any of our adoptable pets in foster care. For the most complete information regarding this animal, and all of our adoptable pets, please ensure you are visiting our website directly at www.RescueCrew.org. You can also access the necessary online forms here as well.  ##2562948##

Story
Popcorn is about 18 lbs., 15 years old and according to Google lens, a West highland terrier. Animal Care Services thought he was a Maltese mix and foster mom thinks he could be a Schnauzer/Maltese mix but knows for sure that he is the cutest scruffy EVER! His journey hasn't been all snuggles and treats as he lived on someone's apartment patio for years, lying in poop, grass and other debris until Animal Care Services came for him and God's Dogs Rescue was able to save the little scamp. While he still loves his humans, other gentle pups his size (cats unknown) and his squishy toys and chewy, understandably he has a few emotional scars especially regarding vet visits and grooming. Slow, patient progress in these areas has helped him be more confident, but will need a patient adopter to help him adapt. Things that make Popcorn super happy are spending time with his humans after he gets to know them, car rides and walks in the park. He loves, loves his squishy toys and generally carries one around with him. His most favorite game is for his person to chase him and pretend to take his squishy away. He also like to run zooms and if there isn't a person to play with he will often throw his toys for himself. Doesn't that just make you want to throw his stuffies so he can play?? He's a healthy guy for his age with just a few old man issues (beginnings of cataracts) that he takes supplements for and should continue taking. His liver enzymes were high when tested but he is on a med to help them normalize. Can you give this boy the right lap to live in?? He needs very patient/knowledgeable adopters, no children- adult only because he will bite if afraid... It is a work in progress but he is becoming the goofy boy he was meant to be while living on the nasty hot and freezing porch for most of his 14 yrs :( GIVE HIM A CHANCE!!! Local adoption only $200 (in TX)

Story
Meet Abbey! If you're looking for a calm and loving companion, Abbey is your girl! She's happiest when she can snooze by your side, keeping you company with her gentle presence. Abbey is the perfect match for someone who appreciates a laid-back, easygoing dog who simply wants to be near her people. She will let out little barks when she wants attention or when she needs to go potty. Though she would prefer to hangout inside, t his sweet pup walks wonderfully with her harness and is in no hurry- her strolls are more about enjoying the moment than racing ahead. She's loyal, mellow, and ready to find her forever home where she can nap and share endless companionship. Could that be with you?  Age: 12 years old Breed: Maltese Weight: 15 lbs, ideally her goal weight is about 12 lbs to aid in her health, joints and mobility Kid-friendly: Hasn't been around them much, has never been aggressive towards them Dogs: Yes Cats: Yes, mostly ignores Crate trained: No Potty trained: Yes, will bark or go to the door Health concerns: Back hip was out of place prior to coming to rescue, seems ok now, needs to remain on arthritis medication. Arthritis and allergies/skin allergies, takes medications. Mass under her chest. May have stress colitis when introduced to new environments. Current medications & estimated costs: Hydroxyzine for allergies, Apoquel for allergies, and Rimadyl for pain/arthritis. About $95/month 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 20, 2025, 4:22 pm

Story
History: Princess is a beautiful girl who needed a second chance at a good life. She quickly wriggled her way into our hearts with how sweet and loving she is and she would make a great addition to a lucky home of her own soon! A Note from the Foster: Hi, I’m Princess, although my foster family calls me Peanut. My foster mom says I am a 10 pound bundle of sweetness. I’m very shy but I’m starting to understand that this new world is full of snuggles, warm beds and lots of good food. I like to be in the same room with my people and sit near them on the couch. I’d rather not be picked up, though. I sleep quietly in my kennel and keep it clean. As long as I can go outside regularly, I don’t have accidents in the house. I love being outside! I love to chase my foster brother around the yard,even though he’s three times bigger than me. And when we’re done playing, I like to snuggle on the couch with him and my even bigger brother. I’m very quiet. I love food! But I don’t like to eat when anyone is watching me and I don’t like to take treats from anyone’s hands. My foster mom is working with me to get past that so that I can learn things like going up and down stairs and walking on a leash. She says that will really open up my world, but it’s hard for me to trust people right now. I’m working on getting braver and my mom says I’m really making a lot of progress. I’ve come a long way in just a few weeks. She tells me all the time how wonderful I am; I’m starting to believe her. My foster mom and I hope I find a forever family who understands that I’m a timid girl and will give me as much time and patience as I need to get comfortable. We both think I’m a perfect fit for just the right family!

Story
History: Annalise is a beautiful girl who arrived to rescue recently and immediately warmed our hearts. She is officially ready to start her journey in finding her forever home and hopes to find them soon! A Note from the Foster: Annalise’s story is one of quiet resilience and blossoming joy. For the first four years of her life, she knew only the confines of a crate. She missed out on the gentle touch of a loving hand, the freedom to run, and the comfort of a family. But despite that hard start, Annalise has a heart that overflows with hope. Her tail wags endlessly, and her eyes shine with the desire to trust, love, and belong. Personality This little girl radiates happiness. Annalise adores the company of other dogs and finds her greatest joy in play. Big or small, she doesn’t mind—she just wants a buddy who will wrestle and romp with her. Her very best friend right now is a 40-pound Wheaten Terrier, and together they remind us what second chances look like. Though still a bit skittish, Annalise’s determination to connect is inspiring. She leans into her humans, wagging furiously, and when night falls, she longs to be close—curled up by your side, finally feeling safe. Training & Home Life Potty Training: A work in progress, but she’s eager to learn with gentle guidance. Leash Training: She hasn’t yet learned the leash, so a patient family will need to help her discover the outside world at her own pace. Eating Habits: Annalise is a wonderful eater—mealtime is one of her favorite parts of the day! Sleeping Style: At bedtime, she wants nothing more than to snuggle near her people, soaking up the love she missed for so long. Ideal Home Annalise’s perfect home is one filled with kindness, patience, and play. Another playful dog is essential for her happiness—someone who will wrestle, chase, and teach her all the joys of being a dog. Because she isn’t leash trained yet, a secure fenced yard (or safe outdoor space) will give her the freedom she’s never had while keeping her safe. She came from a place of confinement, but her future is bright. With every tail wag, every joyful bounce, and every tentative snuggle, Annalise shows us her bravery and her boundless capacity for love. If you open your heart to her, Annalise will gift you with unwavering devotion, daily joy, and the privilege of witnessing a soul truly set free.

History: Isaac is a super handsome boy who was recently welcomed to rescue and will warm your heart with his smile and happy personality. He has his paws crossed to find his forever home soon! Isaac is deaf but does well despite this! A Note from the Foster: Meet Isaac: 14 lbs of Pure Fun! 🐾 Don’t let my tiny size fool you—I’ve got a big personality! I may be deaf, but I make up for it with a heart full of love, boundless energy, and yes… a lot of barking (I take my job as the neighborhood announcer very seriously). Playing is my favorite thing in the world (seriously… PLAY!!!! 🎾) and I’m always ready for a game. Treats? Yes, please! My eyes light up at the very sight of them. I’m a pro at doing my business outside when kept on schedule, and I sleep soundly in my crate all night (and keep it nice and clean). A fenced yard would be my dream so I can run and explore safely. Chew toys are my jam, and if you’re looking for a constant, loving shadow, I’m your pup. I’d also love a playful dog buddy in my new home to join in all the fun! 🐶💞 If you’ve got energy, toys, snacks, maybe another furry playmate—and don’t mind my vocal side—we might just be a perfect match! 💕
