Help Homeless Shelter Dogs
When senior dogs enter shelters, their future is uncertain. The adoption rate for senior dogs (7 years or older) is lower than that of all other ages combined: Just over 50% find new homes. The Grey Muzzle Organization is one of the only national organizations dedicated specifically to advancing lifesaving efforts on behalf of senior dogs. We provide funding and resources to animal shelters and rescues groups nationwide.
Your love for senior dogs makes Grey Muzzle's work possible. Because of your generosity, in 2021 more than 3000 senior dogs got the second chance they all deserve. Please help us serve even more senior dogs in 2022! Get involved by making a gift today, volunteering, or helping to spread the word.
Old dogs have something to bark about as Grey Muzzle announces more than $705,000 in grants to 78 animal welfare groups in the United States and Canada working to save and improve the lives of senior dogs. This brings the national Grey Muzzle Organization’s total grant funding to more than $3.8 million since 2008. This year’s grantees, selected from among 344 applicants, will use the funds to provide critically needed medical and dental treatment; foster and hospice care; adoption promotions; and programs to keep old dogs in their homes and out of animal shelters.
