Beds for Senior Dogs
The Grey Muzzle Organization maintains a fund to provide orthopedic beds to old dogs who are living in shelters.
Safe Animal Shelter of Orange Park (SAFE) in Middleburg, FL, recently received beds from Grey Muzzle. Volunteer Melinda M. wrote to say: “I'd like to express our sincere appreciation for the two Kuranda cots and orthopedic pads we received recently. Our volunteers had great fun getting the cots ready for use and watching them be enjoyed. Honey, pictured here, loves her new bed! Honey, considered SAFE’s “official greeter,” has earned a special place in all of our hearts. She meets everyone at the door with a tail wag and a smile. Honey’s bed is in the executive director’s office, and she often spends the night with members of the office staff. Thank you, Grey Muzzle!”

Apply for Beds
We welcome your application to receive beds from The Grey Muzzle Organization, if you meet this criteria:
- You are a registered non-profit or government-run animal shelter and beds will benefit dogs living in a kennel environment
- You take in senior dogs and support senior dog rescues through your programs
- You will use the bed(s) for your seniors and are willing to provide us with a picture of a senior dog using the bed and some info about the dog.
We believe that when seniors are comfortable, they show better in a shelter and potential adopters respond more positively to a dog curled up in a bed.
If your organization fits the criteria above, please complete this brief application form to apply for a bed.
We would be happy to provide you with one to two beds, providing funds are available.
