Dana M. Tharp

Director of Engagement

Dana began her career in Operations Management and Marketing within the financial industry, working with several Fortune 500 companies. However, her passion for animal welfare led her to co-found All Fur One Pet Rescue and Adoptions in 2018. Since then, she has specialized in engagement and relationship-building strategies for animal welfare organizations.

As the Director of Engagement at Grey Muzzle, Dana leads key initiatives to deepen relationships with grantees and expand public engagement to support the well-being of senior dogs. Her commitment to elevating grantee voices and ensuring they feel empowered to communicate their lifesaving efforts effectively is central to her role.

Driven by her dedication to advocating for long-stay and harder-to-place senior dogs, Dana is proud to be part of Grey Muzzle’s mission. Her work ensures that these dogs - and the grantees caring for them - receive the attention and resources they deserve, fostering systemic change and strengthening the bond between animal welfare organizations and their communities.
