Every senior dog deserves a healthy smile! Sadly, too many never receive dental care, which can make eating painful and even shorten a dog's life. YOU can change that! The goal of our Summer Smile campaign is to raise $25,000 for our dental fund so even more old dogs get to experience new smiles. Plus, thanks to the generosity of the Cook family, every dollar is MATCHED!

Senior dogs have something to wag about as The Grey Muzzle Organization announces a record-breaking $848,000 in grants to 90 animal welfare groups in 29 states and Puerto Rico. This brings the national nonprofit’s total grant funding to more than $4.6 million over the past 15 years. This year's grantees, selected from 370 applicants, will use the funds to provide critically needed medical and dental treatment; foster and hospice care; adoption promotions; and programs that help keep older dogs in loving homes. Read more and meet the grantees...

When senior dogs enter shelters, their future is uncertain. The adoption rate for senior dogs (7 years or older) is lower than all other ages combined: Just over 50% find new homes. Together we can change that.

The Grey Muzzle Organization is the largest national nonprofit organization focused specifically on senior dog well-being. We provide funding and resources to animal shelters and rescue groups nationwide.

Your love for senior dogs makes Grey Muzzle's work possible. Because of your generosity, thousands of senior dogs get the second chance they deserve each year. Please help us serve even more senior dogs this year! 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...
