My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Tessie, a charming 10-year-old Labrador Retriever.   This gentle soul exudes a calm demeanor, completely  unfazed by the opinions of other dogs—she's never  once barked back at those who challenge her during  our walks. Tessie enjoys leisurely strolls, but her true  passion lies in resting afterward, recharging her energy  to be the ultimate "velcro dog" when her loved ones are  nearby. While she may not be interested in traditional  playtime—preferring to give a few licks to a chew toy  while ignoring balls and sticks—she adores exploring  her surroundings with her keen sense of smell. Tessie  c raves companionship, always eager for a gentle pet  while we relax in front of the TV or attempting to snuggle up as a lap dog during meals.

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!
