No spam here. Just heartwarming happy tails and smiling senior dogs! Our monthly newsletters include stories of the dogs and their families who have been helped by your support, tips for senior dog care, and updates on the latest happenings at Grey Muzzle.
Johnny O
It was very difficult for our Board Members to read the medical fund application for Johnny O. from Posh Pets in New York City. He was rescued by a policeman from some kids who were kicking him around in a paper bag in a parking lot.
Shelly
St. Louis Senior Dog Project was at a local animal control facility when they pointed out a senior schnauzer who was likely to be euthanized soon. The Senior Dog Project gave her a chance and Grey Muzzle chipped in on medical expenses.
Flash
St. Louis Senior Dog Project was contacted by a shelter in rural Illinois for help with old Flash. The shelter won't place dogs over a certain age for adoption (a common problem for senior dogs in shelters.) He's now safe in a foster home.
Pumper
He didn't even have a name when we got the picture, but this old guy is the first recipient of Grey Muzzle's grant to Dalmatian Rescue of Tampa Bay (DRTB).
Connor
A supporter contacted us about 10-year-old Connor, who was running out of time in a shelter in Wichita, Kansas. St. Louis Senior Dog Project took him in, and Grey Muzzle paid for his medical expenses.
Kendall
Kendall was an old Rottweiler who was given to a local shelter and then began to limp. Radiographs confirmed osteosarcoma, so common in the breed, and the shelter manager asked if OldDog Haven in Washington State could possibly take her since she was still so happy.
Winston
Recently we learned Winston, one of the hospice dogs in the care of Central Texas Dachshund Rescue, was diagnosed with diabetes. Winston had been in a CTDR foster home for a year before the diagnosis, so they caught it early.
Gizmo
Tere knew her mom needed a companion. But her mom uses a walker and she needed a dog that was not too small, so she wouldn't trip over him. Gizmo was the perfect match! It was love at first sight.
Gracie
Old Gracie arrived at Yonkers Animal Shelter in late February. The staff knew she had something wrong with her, we had to send a bed from the Grey Muzzle Bed Fund. But her prospects for adoption didn't seem good.
Brinkley
Brinkley is a senior who was recently made a Permanent Foster at the Golden Retriever Rescue of North Texas (GRRNT) due to cancer. He developed a fibro-sarcoma cancerous tumor that was removed from his nose.
Hops
A senior Corgi mix charmer named Hops is now loving life as a Florida beach bunny after Animal Rescue of New Orleans (ARNO) and the Grey Muzzle Organization helped her find a forever home for her golden years.
Merlin
Two new seniors entered the Permanent Foster program at the Golden Retriever Rescue of North Texas (GRRNT), Merlin and Brinkley. Grey Muzzle helps fund this program.
Missy
This sweet lady is Missy, a senior dog of about 9 years, ended up in the county animal control after her elderly owner died. St. Louis Senior Dog Project was told police broke down the front door to gain access and Missy ran out in a panic.
Diamond
Diamond is a little Maltese, about 10 years old. brought into a shelter to be euthanized. Posh Pets, a rescue organization in New York City, took her to the vet, where she was given 6-9 months to live.
Dixie
Dixie was an emaciated stray, about 10 years old, when a well-meaning person took her in but was unable to continue caring for her. Thankfully, The St. Louis Senior Dog Project was able to take Dixie into a foster home.
