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. Please help us serve even more senior dogs this year! Get involved by making a gift today, volunteering, or helping to spread the word.
