The Grey Muzzle Organization

The Grey Muzzle Organization provides grants throughout the United States to nonprofit organizations for programs designed to improve the lives of at-risk senior dogs.

The focus is on shelters, rescue groups, sanctuaries, and other nonprofit organizations whose activities include helping senior dogs.

Examples of funded programs include:

• creating or expanding foster programs specifically focused on finding homes for senior dogs;
• programs to prevent owners from surrendering senior dogs to shelters as a result of economic circumstances;
• medical care and other programs that increase the potential for senior dogs to be adopted;
• expenses for in-home, short-term hospice care for senior dogs;
• in-home care programs for senior dogs who are not adoptable;
• programs to help people find new homes for senior dogs when they can no longer keep them;
• helping senior dogs give back to society, for example, training senior dogs as therapy dogs or involving the dogs in activities sponsored  by assisted care facilities; and,
• building a Seniors-for-Seniors adoption program.
