The Grey Muzzle Organization www.greymuzzle.org |
The Grey Muzzle Organization improves the lives of homeless senior dogs by making it possible for shelters, rescue groups, and sanctuaries to do more for old dogs. We are not a shelter or rescue group. Rather, Grey Muzzle funds programs such as hospice care, senior dog adoption, medical screening, and other special programs to help old dogs at animal welfare organizations nationwide. Distributed through grants, all funds are provided through our fundraising efforts and the generosity of public donations. Many dogs are abandoned in their senior years because their caretakers don't want to take responsibility for the extra care required as part of the natural aging process. In other cases, a well-loved senior dog may become homeless when their senior person enters assisted living, and there is no place else to go. Some old dogs are rescued from a lifetime of abusive or neglectful situations with, finally, a chance enjoy life in their last few years. Through The Grey Muzzle Organization, you can help create happy endings for dogs in these circumstances. |

Reading with Rover www.readingwithrover.org |
