Garth

Meet Garth! Garth is a sweet, easygoing senior boy who still has plenty of spunk for a nice walk, but is just as happy spending the day sleeping, snoring, and soaking up as many pets as he can get. He loves everyone he meets, walks nicely on leash, and does well with calm, respectful dogs after a slow introduction-although bikes are definitely his least favorite thing in the world! Garth is potty trained but his new family will need to continue frequent potty breaks, walks, and positive reinforcement. His ideal home would be a loving family who wants a gentle senior companion, enjoys a short walk most days, has plenty of time for cuddles, and preferably has other calm, older dogs.<br/><br/>Potty-Trained: Yes, needs a frequent schedule<br/>Behavior towards adults: Good<br/>Behavior towards children: Good with introductions<br/>Behavior towards other dogs: With slow introductions<br/>Behavior towards cats: unknown <br/>Crate-trained: na<br/>Stairs: good<br/>Medical Concerns & Medication: PRN for anxiety and an as needed anxiety med <br/><br/>As a rescue organization, we provide all medical care, procedures, and testing that are available to us while the dog is in our care. Adopters are responsible for ongoing preventatives, follow-up veterinary appointments, and any medications as needed after adoption. In some cases, adopters may also be responsible for procedures not completed while in rescue, such as dental cleanings, additional bloodwork, or other recommended care.<br/><br/>Please note that we work with volunteer veterinarians and partner veterinary clinics, and protocols may vary between veterinary offices.<br/><br/>All adopted dogs will receive their rabies and distemper vaccinations prior to adoption.<br/><br/>We offer a $50 adoption fee discount for seniors (65+) and veterans. Adoption fees help offset the cost of veterinary exams, vaccinations (rabies and distemper), heartworm testing, spay/neuter surgery (if needed), and any additional medical care specific to each individual dog.<br/><br/>At this time, Grey Face Rescue is unable to adopt outside of Minnesota. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.<br/><br/>We do not place animals in homes where current pets are not up to date on vaccinations or are not spayed/neutered. Exceptions may be considered for documented medical reasons as provided by a licensed veterinarian. Thank you for supporting our mission to reduce pet overpopulation.<br/><br/>Once your application has been submitted, our Adoption Manager will be in touch. Please be sure to check your spam or junk folder if you do not hear from us within 7-10 days.<br/><br/>Thank you for your interest in adopting a Grey Face senior. We truly appreciate your support.
