Meet Our Big-Hearted Boy – A Loyal German Shepherd Ready for Retirement Age: Estimated 10–13 years | Breed: German Shepherd | Weight: 90 lbs Neutered: Yes | Adoption Fee: $375 This sweet senior gentleman is looking for a loving home to spend his golden years—and if you’re searching for a loyal, gentle companion with a big heart and even bigger personality, he may be your perfect match! He’s potty-trained, wonderful with other dogs, cats, and children of all ages (including babies!), and is happiest just being near his people. While he’s a big boy and carrying a bit of extra weight, he’s on portioned meals and doing his best to slim down—though he's known to sneak snacks if others aren’t watching (he’s a smart one!). He can handle stairs, though they can be a bit challenging at times, and he’s definitely a talker ! His charming barks are just part of his expressive personality—he has a lot to say and loves to "chat" with his family. This good boy has been living with a loving foster family for nearly two years after being left in their care by a former owner who never returned. He’s been incredibly kind and patient in a busy household with kids, dogs, and cats, but he’s ready for a forever home of his own—ideally a calm, cozy space where he can enjoy his well-earned rest and be surrounded by love. If you have space in your heart (and maybe on your couch) for a sweet, senior shepherd who will reward you with unwavering loyalty, gentle companionship, and a few happy barks, this big boy is ready to love you for the rest of his days . Apply today and give this handsome senior the forever family he’s been patiently waiting for. ❤️ 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!

Adopt Scout and Receive Scout's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Scout's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Scout's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Scout, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Scout's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Scout was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Scout’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Scout’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Scout’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
