Who We Help

With help from a grant from The Grey Muzzle Organization, Abandoned Animal Rescue offered financial assistance to owners of senior dogs in financial need. The financial assistance included reduced or waived fees in AAR’s Wellness Clinic to cover medical or dental care, aiming to keep more pets with owners.

Abandoned Animal Rescue offers an adoption shelter, an affordable spay-neuter clinic, a wellness center, and community education outreach.  Founded in 2002 by three dedicated animal lovers, AAR is entirely managed and maintain by volunteers. 

A grant from Grey Muzzle helps ACE to sustain and hopefully expand its Shelter Dog Swim program, an innovative, unique program that gives senior dogs, medical, specialized physical therapy, and fun swims while making organizations more effective. 

The Shelter Dog Swim program reduces expensive medical treatments/surgery (and is better for dogs), and it provides pre/post medical rehabilitation, at a greatly reduced cost.  Senior dogs are great candidates for dog swimming.   Warm water, indoors, with special ramps, and float coats are life saving for senior dogs, which cannot exercise or socialize like other dogs. 

Advanced Canine Education supports dogs by giving services to dogs, and to those who serve them.  They help dog related charitable organizations, rescue groups, first responders, service dogs, therapy dogs, police k9 dogs, and provide training for the staff members of these groups.  They focus on:

A grant from Grey Muzzle helped with their "Cookie’s Dental Medical Rescue" challenge.  A contributor made a challenge and will match our funds (capped at a certain amount) to provide much needed dental care for senior dogs with dental disease.  Our hope is that, by providing this vital dental treatment, senior dogs will have an increased chance at being adopted.

The Aggieland Humane Society, formerly Brazos Animal Shelter provides: humane shelter, care, and placement for stray and unwanted animals; promotes the human animal bond and promotes responsible pet ownership to enhance the quality of life for the people and animals in our community.

Almost Home Dog Rescue of Ohio is fortunate to have received funding toward dental surgeries for senior dogs. Many of the senior dogs taken in may already have serious gum disease causing loss of appetite, weight loss and pain requiring dental surgeries. Not treating advanced dental disease can affect the heart, liver and kidneys. The grant funding will help at least eleven senior dogs with dental cleanings and provide them with the necessary care to bring them back to health so they are comfortable and get adopted faster.

Angel’s Retreat’s mission is to help all homeless dogs, regardless of breed, age or size, to find their forever home. Dogs receive basic medical care, including spay/neuter, vaccinations and a microchip, prior to adoption. A senior/hospice program ensures older dogs get needed medical care to live out their lives happily and pain-free. 

The Grey Muzzle Organization grant will help Angel’s Retreat provide medical care to senior dogs. Whether the dogs are adopted into forever homes or remain in foster care, they will be happy and loved during their golden years. 

Animal Fix Clinic keeps senior dogs healthy and at home with their families through access to top-notch surgical care, regardless of the dog's age or their guardian's ability to pay. AFC offers high-quality, high-volume spay/neuter services to address pet overpopulation and to reduce the risk of late-in-life health complications, plus a wide range of other essential and urgent surgeries to save and improve the lives of senior dogs. When Rocky (age 12, pictured) needed a delicate surgery to have several tumors removed, AFC was able to provide his care, so he and his human (Gloria, also pictured) could continue their lives together.

Animal Fix Clinic is a non-profit surgical practice for dogs and cats in the San Francisco Bay Area. Founded in 1998 with MASH-style events serving community cats, AFC has grown over the decades into a free-standing, brick-and-mortar clinic dedicated to providing dogs and cats with a wide range of urgent, essential surgeries.

Grey Muzzle is proud to support Animal Haven's Executive Suite program which aims to increase the adoption of senior dogs. Animal Haven's commitment is to pull at least one older dog per month from a city shelter and give him/her a second chance.

Animal Haven is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that was founded in 1967 and finds homes for abandoned cats and dogs throughout the Tri-State area, and provides behavior intervention when needed to improve chances of adoption.  They also provide programs that enhance the bond between animals and people.

A grant from The Grey Muzzle Organization will help Animal Rescue Foundation (ARF) sustain its medical and dental care program for senior dogs. With the funds provided by Grey Muzzle, ARF will provide senior dogs with routine medical services, including a wellness examination, spaying/neutering, medications, vaccinations, microchipping, and dental care. Providing timely medical care will help reduce pain, improve mobility, and prepare senior dogs like Spot for adoption.

ARF is an all-volunteer, foster-based organization in Wheaton, Illinois dedicated to rescuing and rehoming homeless dogs and cats, including animals that other rescue groups often cannot take in due to advanced age or exceptional medical needs. They are committed to enhancing the lives of animals by promoting affordable, responsible pet ownership and public awareness of animal welfare.
