Max's Story

Meet Max-a sweet, affectionate 11-year-old Cocker Spaniel who is very much a Velcro dog, loves being close to his people, and is accustomed to sleeping in bed and cuddling. He is making progress with potty training and will need continued supervision around food, as he eats quickly and tries to push other dogs away from their bowls, and he will also need help getting to a healthier weight. Max has discovered his voice and can bark during meals, while cooking, around guests, and when he sees other dogs, so continued training and structure will be important. He is also very interested in our male dog-sometimes a little too interested! Max has shown us more of his true personality now that his dental and ear discomfort have improved, and while he has some quirks to work through, he is a loving senior boy who wants nothing more than to be close to his people and would thrive with a patient adopter willing to give him the structure, training, and affection he needs. <br/><br/>Potty-Trained: Yes, with a schedule<br/>Behavior towards adults: Good<br/>Behavior towards children: Good with introductions<br/>Behavior towards other dogs: Friendly<br/>Behavior towards cats: Good, with intro<br/>Crate-trained: Yes<br/>Stairs: Good<br/>Medical Concerns & Medication: Overweight at this time<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.
