lick - pet crusader The Grey Muzzle Organization:
When senior dogs enter shelters, their future is uncertain. The adoption rate for senior dogs (7 years or older) is lower than that of all other ages combined: just over 50% find new homes. The Grey Muzzle Organization is one of the only national organizations dedicated specifically to advancing lifesaving efforts on behalf of senior dogs. We provide funding and resources to animal shelters and rescue groups nationwide. With the support of people like you, The Grey Muzzle Organization creates happy endings to what would otherwise be heartbreaking stories. We envision a world where every senior dog thrives and no old dog dies alone and afraid.
The Grey Muzzle Organization saves and improves the lives of at-risk senior dogs by providing grants, ranging from $2,500 to $11,000, to animal welfare organizations across the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico and hope our reach will spread. These grants provide senior dogs with critically needed care and services that support our mission. Funding helps: Medical & Dental programs to help senior dogs get adopted Keeping dogs in homes they already have by assisting with medical care and/or food Seniors for Seniors programs matching senior citizens with senior dogs
