Meet some of the senior dogs helped by The Grey Muzzle Organization. We provide grants to support lifesaving, innovative senior dog programs across the country. These are just a few of the senior dogs who got their second chance thanks to the work of our grantees and the generosity of our supporters.
Please consider making a life-changing gift today to help even more at-risk senior dogs get the second chance they so deserve.
To learn more about the organizations we fund, see our Grants Recipients page. The dogs featured here have found their forever homes, but you can find adoptable senior dogs on our Senior Spotlight page.

Happy
How we helped
Beagles of New England States (B.O.N.E.S.) received a Grey Muzzle grant to increase awareness of their Sensational Senior Beagles program. Their goal is more immediate placement of senior beagles into forever homes, thus allowing them to take in more senior beagles, just like Happy.

Casey & Toby

Buddy
How we helped
Buddy is a nine-year-old Yorkshire Terrier mix who arrived at The Animal Foundation this past April as a stray. He arrived with his mother Chloe, another senior dog.
Buddy and Chloe wandered from their home frequently, and on one occasion, they wandered a little too far. They were found by a Good Samaritan who took them back home and told their owner she’d like to adopt them.

Legacy
How we helped
Recently, funds from a Grey Muzzle grant helped a beautiful senior dog named Legacy who was found to have 'dry eye' in both eyes, needed dental work, and suffered from cardiomyopathy. Given her symptoms and condition, the Animal Protective Foundation veterinary team made the decision to place her into a hospice home to live out the remainder of her days.
Freddie
How we helped
Freddie recently arrived at Animal Rescue Inc.’s (ARI) Sanctuary for Life after being displaced from three homes through no fault of his own. Now 14 years old, this sweet Papillon mix found himself homeless and in need of extensive veterinary care to get him ready for adoption.
Goofy
How we helped
Goofy came to Shelter from the Storm Animal Rescue this past spring as a breeder release. Once this eight-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel was in their care, he received a comprehensive medical evaluation revealing a heart murmur, ear infection and severe dental disease.

Millie
How we helped
Millie came to the Animal Rescue League of Iowa (ARL) when her owners were moving and were unable to take her along. Upon arriving at ARL, she was given a full medical evaluation and, sadly, the staff discovered this darling 12-year-old rat terrier is in renal failsure. So, they began a hospice foster home search to suit her special needs and provide her with TLC during her last months.

Valerie
How we helped
Valerie came to Richmond Animal League (RAL) from a partnering animal control agency last year. Her human had passed away and there was no-one to care for her.
Other than having arthritis and being overweight, this nine-year-old was in good health. The RAL veterinary team prescribed her low-stress exercise and a special diet.
Leah
How we helped
Leah came to Saving Paws Rescue AZ (SPRAZ) from Maricopa County Animal Care and Control. This nine-year-old German Shepherd was not well cared for--it was obvious she had been used for breeding all her life.
