Meet some of the senior dogs helped by The Grey Muzzle Organization. We provide grants to support lifesaving, innovative senior dog programs across the country. These are just a few of the senior dogs who got their second chance thanks to the work of our grantees and the generosity of our supporters.
Please consider making a life-changing gift today to help even more at-risk senior dogs get the second chance they so deserve.
To learn more about the organizations we fund, see our Grants Recipients page. The dogs featured here have found their forever homes, but you can find adoptable senior dogs on our Senior Spotlight page.

Thanks to Grey Muzzle grant funding for medical care that you made possible, our friends at Little Shelter Animal Rescue & Adoption Center could rescue this sweet duo and immediately provide the care and surgeries they needed to thrive.

How we helped
When Charming Pet Rescue announced their Silver Paws & Senior Hearts Program, which pays for all essentials and veterinary bills for those over 55 adopting a pet over seven years old, Gabriella knew her prayers for a family dog had been answered..

Mingo
How we helped
At 12 years old, Mingo came to One Tail at a Time (OTAT) when he was in need of a new home. The vet team worked diligently to heal Mingo, but after a series of strokes and a consistent heart problem, the team decided that hospice care was the best option to keep him comfortable.
Bentley and Tyson
How we helped
Even a hurricane couldn't break Bentley and Tyson's bond! At ten years old, Bentley and Tyson found themselves alone after their special person passed away. Thankfully, a kindhearted neighbor temporarily took these two best friends under her wing. But they all had another hardship to face. Hurricane Ian was bearing down on the state of Florida and would leave devastation in its wake.
Hoss
How we helped
At 13 years old, Hoss was surrendered when his family had a new baby. He was heartbroken emotionally and suffering physically from neglect. Covered in fleas, he had a painful, fractured tooth and tested positive for heartworm disease. Hoss desperately needed help to heal his body and his spirit.
Bart
How we helped
Sweet little Bart had a loving home, but sadly his owner developed health issues that prevented her from giving him the care he needed. She loved him so much that she made the incredibly difficult decision to do what was best for him.
Dukey
How we helped
During a 911 medical response in rural New Mexico, the fire department happened to come across Dukey at the residence. At ten years old, he was suffering from severe and untreated dry eye disease. This poor guy was in extreme pain and completely blind. Thankfully, our friends at NMDOG quickly came to the rescue.
Zorro
How we helped
Best friends at 11 and 97 years old! Zorro and Margie came into each other's lives when they needed each other the most. Zorro found himself homeless and confused after his lifelong special person passed away. He was sad, lethargic, and fearful after his world was turned upside down. And Margie was suffering from depression and loneliness without companionship after recently moving to a senior living facility. Margie's daughter realized her mom needed a friend and came to Charming Pet Rescue to meet Zorro.
