Meet the Dogs

Grey Muzzle supports German Shepherd Rescue and Adoptions “Moment in Time” program so that senior dogs like Nicholas can experience their final years feeling loved. Nicholas was 10 years old and had lived his whole life at the end of a chain.

Taffy, a 10-12 year-old female sheltie/chow mix, was surrendered to a rural animal control in Illinois. Taffy was rescued by Chicagoland’s Young at Heart, and was diagnosed with severe stressed-induced colitis.

Jack, a 9-year-old English Setter, was turned in to a local Humane Society in Missouri because his owners were moving somewhere they could only take two dogs. They gave up Jack, their oldest dog. 

Cassie came in as a stray and had developed a bad case of kennel cough. Now she's doing great thanks to Carolina Basset Hound Rescue's vet and a loving foster home.

Little senior Sweets ended up in Missouri County Animal Control during a winter onslaught of cold and snow in Missouri.

Jim is a retired doctor and Fella is his second Muttville rescue dog. Jim was lonely when his first dog passed away, so Muttville handpicked Pretzel (now Fella), an 11-year-old terrior mix.

Grey Muzzle's grant to OldDog Haven paid for the medical care for six hospice dogs in 2010. Dudley was a very old Golden Retriever who joined a group of other "old fogey" dogs at an OldDog Haven foster home.

"Francesca Solara was not adoptable by ordinary standards when she came to us. Abandoned on the streets of a Cleveland, Ohio suburb, Independence, she was frightened, ill, and arthritic... she not only survived, she flourished. And her winsome ways charmed everyone.."

Princess was living with her racing owner since the time she was born. In September, we received a call from her owner saying she needed to find her a new home.

Kimmy, a 10-year-old Jack Russell mix, was left at Quad City Animal Welfare Center in Illinois last month when her owner no longer wanted her. The shelter’s new Grey Muzzle grant helped pay for her medical care.

"Stevie is 10 years old and was dumped at the Wake County shelter because his owners no longer wanted him. He was arthritic, emaciated and very unsteady on his feet when he first came to us."

Monte is a 10+ year-old miniature pinscher mix, found wandering the streets and brought in by a Good Samaritan. While he is mostly blind, underweight and battling an infection, he has settled nicely in his foster home.
