Where We Work

The Grey Muzzle Organization provides funding for senior dog programs nationwide. Below you'll find a state-by-state list of the organizations that we've approved for funding, as well as other interesting organizations in the area. We've also included the organizations that have received orthopedic beds from our Bed Fund.

In order to be approved for our funding, each organization must complete a detailed application. We check references, talk to the organization's veterinarian, evaluate financial information, verify
501(c)(3) tax deductible status, and review adoption and care policies. In short, we do our best to ensure that each organization is competent and well-run, stable, and doing wonderful work to help senior dogs.

Please contact these organizations if you are considering adopting a senior dog, fostering, or volunteering.
