Meet the Dogs

George Washingbone is a lovable, ten-year-old Dachshund who arrived at Prairie Paws Animal Shelter (PPAS) as a stray. Thanks to a Grey Muzzle grant, all senior dogs get a senior-specific wellness exam and labwork upon intake.

Charlie Brown, a sweet, nine-year-old hound mix, came to our grantee Pawmetto Lifeline in South Carolina because his owner could no longer care for him. He had been kept as a strictly outdoor dog and, sadly, tested positive for heartworm disease.

After being found as a stray and bouncing in and out of a local shelter, nine-year-old Helga was transferred to  the Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society (PAWS).

Milton and his wiggly butt had been at Chicago Animal Care and Control for two whole months. A ten-year-old pittie with a heart murmur, Milton quickly became a volunteer favorite at the shelter and had many wonderful pals rooting for his rescue.

Harley came into the care of Nevada Humane Society (NHS) as a rescue from the local shelter, Washoe County Regional Animal Services. He is a sweet, 13-year-old Terrier mix who was diagnosed as having Stage 4 dental disease by the NHS medical team.

Diva is a sassy 12-year-old terrier mix who required assistance from the Foundation for Animal Care and Education (FACE). Sweet, little Diva was diagnosed with painful bladder stones.

Little One is a ten-pound, 15-year-old black and tan Yorkshire Terrier mix on a mission to get a cuddle from anyone who comes near her, and she usually succeeds. She came to Dakin Humane Society at the end of the summer because her person had too many animals and wasn’t able to meet her needs.

Meet Denver! This gentle nine-year-old was surrendered to the shelter, sadly, due to a divorce but now has a new start thanks to Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) and The Grey Muzzle Organization.

Bingo was found wandering alone on a rural road, confused, tired and in some pain. He was taken to a local shelter and, shortly thereafter, transferred to Lost Dog & Cat Rescue Foundation. Estimated to be about 12 years old, Bingo’s diagnostics and care has been ongoing since he came to Lost Dog a few months ago. With the support of Grey Muzzle, Lost Dog was able to verify that Bingo’s thyroid condition was under control by running repeat bloodwork.

Storm was found alone, hiding under a building in the midst of a heat wave and terrible lightning storm. He was suffering from heat stroke and unable to muster the strength to even stand up. His face and thin body said it all–he was sad, matted, and drenched to the bone. When his rescuers found him, he immediately drank all the water he could, searching for more.

Daisy is a ten-year-old Golden Retriever mix who was rescued by our new grantee, Golden Retrievers Acres Senior Sanctuary (GRASS). She is very sweet, loving, affectionate and playful, but was in desperate need of dental care. Thanks to a Grey Muzzle grant, Daisy received a comprehensive dental cleaning and nine necessary extractions.

Meet Phillip, an 11-year-old pit bull mix, who had lived his entire life with a family and children. However, Phillip's family moved and didn't take him along, so he found himself alone, sick and scared at the local animal control faciity. Philip waited patiently every day for his family to return, but they never did.
