Creating More Second Chances For Senior Dogs
Grey Muzzle is a nonprofit grantmaker supporting organizations and programs dedicated to helping senior dogs thrive.
the nation's leading grantmaker for senior dog programs
Grey Muzzle partners with animal welfare organizations nationwide to fund programs designed to improve adoption outcomes, reduce shelter stays, and help senior dogs remain with the families who love them.
We do not operate a shelter or rescue senior dogs directly. Instead, we invest in programs that test and strengthen approaches to adoption readiness, shelter diversion, and long-term senior dog retention—helping identify best practices that can improve outcomes for senior dogs in communities across the United States.
USING GRANT FUNDING TO IMPROVE OUTCOMES FOR SENIOR DOGS
By supporting programs that collect data, test different approaches, and share what works best, we help identify better strategies that can improve outcomes for senior dogs nationwide.
