Share Your Gratitude for Life with a Senior Dog and Encourage Others to Open Their Heart to a Grey Muzzle

Has a senior dog touched your life? Enter the #GreyMuzzleGratitude challenge! The winning dog will receive a timeless custom pet portrait etching created by Greyboy Pet Prints. The top ten winners get a Grey Muzzle calendar and will be showcased on our website!

If a senior dog has ever touched your heart and shared your home, the 2024 Grey Muzzle calendar is for you! This year's calendar features dozens of pictures of beloved pets submitted by YOU during our Summer Smile Campaign. 

All proceeds go to helping senior dogs in need! Brighten each month with an adorable grey muzzle, and know that your contribution helps older dogs nationwide. 

Calendars are $18.00, and shipping begins on November 13.

Grants Will Help Thousands of At-Risk Older Dogs Nationwide

Senior dogs have something to wag about as The Grey Muzzle Organization announces a record-breaking $848,000 in grants to 90 animal welfare organizations—shelters, rescue groups, and other nonprofits—in 29 states and Puerto Rico. This brings the national nonprofit’s total grant funding to more than $4.6 million over the past 15 years.

Every senior dog deserves health and happiness in their golden years. Because of your generosity, senior dogs like Peanut have the best gift of all: hope for the holidays. Peanut was surrendered to a vet’s office for euthanasia because “he was old,” yet there was hope in his cloudy, aged eyes.

In celebration of Adopt a Senior Pet Month and the thankfulness of the season, we asked everyone who adores an older dog (distinguished grey muzzle on full display or not) to help spread the word by submitting their pup in our #GreyMuzzleGratitude Challenge. The love stories and expressions of gratitude came rolling in and truly warmed our hearts!

In celebration of Adopt a Senior Pet Month, 23 senior dogs took to the skies from California to Oregon on a journey to their forever homes. Although we are celebrating 23 heartwarming adoptions, thousands more at-risk senior dogs in shelters all across the country still need your help. With your support, this GivingTuesday we can ensure more senior dogs like Maggie spend their golden years safe and loved, no matter where they call home.

Grey Muzzle celebrated Adopt a Senior Pet Month in style with Today.com. We are thankful to Anna Kaplan for sharing the story of this special lifesaving mission made possible by a Grey Muzzle grant to Pet Rescue Pilots. On November 5, Pet Rescue Pilots flew senior dogs from rural California shelters where they had little chance of adoption to Oregon where they were welcomed by foster parents and forever families.

Grey Muzzle is honored to be featured in an article on People.com about a very special seniors-only rescue mission. For its 125th rescue flight, Pet Rescue Pilots, with a grant from The Grey Muzzle Organization, flew 23 senior dogs from California to Oregon, ensuring these older pups found loving homes.
