Grey Muzzle Gives Senior Dogs Second Chances

Old dogs and the people who love them have something to wag about this summer, as The Grey Muzzle Organization announces $419,000 in grants going to 62 animal welfare groups nationwide. This brings Grey Muzzle’s total grant funding to nearly $2 million since 2008. The new grantees, selected from among 236 applicants, will use the funds to help save and improve the lives of at-risk senior dogs in their communities. These grants will provide critically needed medical and dental treatment; foster and hospice care; adoption promotions; and programs that help keep old dogs in good homes. Read more...

Celebrating 10 Years and 10,000 Kisses

Over the past 10 years, your support has touched the lives of so many senior dogs and the people who love them. Grey Muzzle grants, powered by you, ensure senior dogs get the care and love they are often lacking. A decade of saving senior dogs means thousands of grey muzzles have had more belly rubs, more kisses and more to celebrate.


On behalf of every old dog you’ve helped over the past 10 years, thank you for your compassion and generosity. Will you help make the next 10,000 kisses possible? Please give now and help us take a step closer to that beautiful day when every senior dog is cherished and no old dog dies alone and afraid.
