My story

Meet Velma, a 6 year old 55 pound petite Lab mix with a heart as big as her smile! This sweet girl is potty trained, enjoys all the treats, and loves lounging on the couch just as much as she loves her daily walks. She’s done great living with other large dogs and has shown patience and adaptability once given time to settle in. Velma would thrive in a calm home with a patient, experienced adopter—preferably without cats—and would do best with older, respectful kids. If you're looking for a loyal, loving companion who enjoys snuggles and strolls, Velma might be your perfect match!   Age: 6 Breed: Lab Mix Weight: 56 lbs Kid-friendly: Recommend older considerate children Dogs: Yes Cats: Recommend a home without cats, as she loves to chase them. Crate trained: Yes Potty trained: Yes Health concerns: Has mild allergies, taking OTC Benadryl to help Current medications & estimated costs: OTC Benadryl 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!  September 19, 2025, 7:16 pm

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Velma, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
