Helping Senior Dogs Thrive Nationwide Since 2008
The Grey Muzzle Organization is the largest national nonprofit organization focused specifically on the well-being of senior dogs.
Our grants fund programs such as medical and dental care, adoptions, hospice, and other lifesaving efforts to help older dogs.
We save and improve the lives of at-risk senior dogs by providing funding and resources to animal welfare groups nationwide.
Join Our Cause to Save At-Risk Senior Dogs
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.
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!
Get involved by volunteering, joining our mailing list, or making a lifesaving gift!
Making Senior Dogs Feel Like a MILLION Bucks!
"Awards Season" is our favorite time of the year at Grey Muzzle! This year, we set a NEW record, awarding $1,100,000 in grant funding to 100 animal welfare groups in 32 states and, for the first time, Nepal! This brings Grey Muzzle's total grant funding to more than $5.7 million in the last 16 years. Each grant check we send out is a promise of brighter futures for senior dogs, a promise made possible by YOU.
This year's grantees, selected from over 400 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.
Your Gift Helps Save Homeless Senior Dogs
Senior dogs depend on us to care for them through all stages of their lives. Your tax-deductible donation will provide them with the care they need to get adopted and live out their golden years, months, or weeks in a place of love, security and peace.

Bed Fund
With your help, we have donated over $75,000 worth of orthopedic beds to hundreds of shelters across the country, giving senior dogs a soft place to rest as they await their forever home.
