Senior Dogs Rock!
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 2020 more than 2500 senior dogs got the second chance they all deserve. Please help us serve even more senior dogs in 2021! Get involved by making a gift today, volunteering, or helping to spread the word.

“Many older dogs are surrendered to shelters because their owners passed away or can’t afford their care,” Carol Burnett explains in the PSA.
“And for some of them, there are no more options,” adds Bob Newhart, highlighting Grey Muzzle’s vision of “a world where no old dog dies alone and afraid.” Read more...
