Grey Muzzle featured on MSN
Breaking News: Senior dogs rock! The Grey Muzzle Organization and Grey Muzzle grantee Tyson's Place talked to the Associated Press about the joys of adopting a senior pet.
Kara
Kara was only 8, but she fit the definition of a Thulani Dog – because their program helps the most vulnerable senior dogs and that is what she was. Kara T had the weight of the world on her, as well as a good-sized pendulant mammary tumor. Yet, she continued to share her happy-girl smile.
Scupper
Fospice boy Scupper is really living it up! Yes, you read that right...fospice. Our friends at Muttville have a wonderful program for dogs with untreatable terminal illnesses. It is called fospice, a combination of foster and hospice. Fospice means taking a dog into a home and giving him palliative care, love and a wonderful life until he passes.
Taffy & Peaches
Last summer, a pair of Cocker Spaniels named Taffy & Peaches were returned to the local animal shelter from which they were initially adopted. Apparently, they did not get along with cats and the adopter reached out to Brother Wolf Animal Rescue (BWAR) for help with rehoming them.

Mr. Biscuit
This 12-year-old gent was found as a stray and ended up in a shelter in southern California. He was emaciated, thinner than most of the dogs that enter The Thulani Program, but he didn’t let that get him down and he happily became a Thulani dog.

"Daisy" by Kristin Boes
I'd been wanting a dog for a while, and I'd pretty much decided on a senior dog for several reasons: 1. We have three cats and I thought a younger dog would be too rambunctious for them.2. We aren't particularly active people, so something a little more mellow would work better3. I knew they were less likely to get adopted4. Honestly, I wasn't sure how I would wind up liking the work of a dog, so a two to five year commitment seemed smarter than 15-20.
Alexis
My first love and faithful companion of 14 years you fought courageously until the very end and are now able to run and play again with grandma. Until I see you again, my darling girl I will carry you with me in my heart.
Coco and Mootsie
Coco, age 14, and Mootsie, age 12, are two lovely Maltese/poodle mixes who found their way to Tyson's Place Animal Rescue in Michigan when their human companion, who is in his 80s, had health problems that put him into a nursing home.
Marilyn
I lost my Ziggy 2 weeks ago. He was my soul. Arthritis robbed him of his life at 13 years old. I wait to see him.
