Meet the Dogs

P-Nut was surrendered to a vet’s office for euthanasia because “he was old.” Thankfully, a foster parent for Carolina Poodle Rescue stepped up to help. He had a terrible mouth full of rotting teeth and hadn’t been groomed in months. He was quiet – almost defeated – during the car ride home from the vet, and yet, in his cloudy, aged eyes, there was hope.

At 11 years old, Todd the beagle was left in an overnight drop pen, constantly coughing without relief due to an advanced case of heartworm disease. Despite feeling pretty crummy, Todd still had a sweet, trusting smile on his face, knowing he was in good hands.

At 14 years old, Domain was found living outside, very emaciated and sick. To make matters worse, he was attacked by a bigger dog and ended up with a badly broken jaw. A good Samaritan wanted to provide Domain with a better situation in his golden years and offered to adopt and care for him. However, his long-overdue and urgent medical care was going to be quite expensive.

KodiakCare provides the incredible service of helping owners afford critical care for their pets. When Annabel's worried mom could not cover the unexpected and expensive emergency care for her beloved furry family member, The Grey Muzzle Organization, in partnership with KodiakCare, funded Annabel's endoscopy and lifesaving surgery.

Ty was surrendered to Austin Humane Society with a significant mass, causing him great discomfort and needing immediate attention. Grant funds from The Grey Muzzle Organization were used to run senior bloodwork for Ty to ensure he was healthy enough for anesthesia. Thankfully, his bloodwork showed no issues, and his surgery was a huge success!

Greta arrived in Northern Virginia at Friends of Homeless Animals (FOHA) after being transported all the way from Tennessee where she was surrendered by her owner. This sweet 9-year-old shepherd mix was in need of dental surgery to extract painfully decayed teeth. Health issues and her age were potential hurdles to a speedy adoption and finding a forever home.

Whoa Nellie! At ten years old, tiny, brave Min Pin/Chihuahua mix Nellie was found on the street, scared and alone. An Animal Control Officer saw that she was in great need of medical care and brought her to Silicon Valley Pet Project for long overdue TLC.

Ringo was left overnight in a drop pen at a rural Kentucky shelter with an anonymous note: he was 13 years old, he suffers from seizures, his owner had died, and the remaining family couldn't care for him. We are grateful that Ringo was brought to safety, where he would receive the care he needed and a second chance at finding love again. 

Ten-year-old Pomeranian Nova has something to smile about! She's cancer-free, AND her foster family adopted her!

Those big brown eyes may look concerned, but his story is a happy one! At 13 years old, Bixby was taken in by our friends at IndyHumane after he was found fending for himself as a stray. Due to his age and general poor condition, Bixby needed a variety of evaluations and tests to ensure that he was well enough for adoption.

Thumper arrived at Shelby Humane after he was found all alone as a blind senior stray. We have no idea how he was fending for himself, unable to see, and we're so grateful he was rescued! Thumper was painfully matted and suffering from multiple other health issues.

As a brave survivor of a dogfighting ring who then waited 260 days in the shelter after her rescue, 8-year-old Stella has finally found her happily ever after and her forever home!
