Grey Muzzle Grant Recipients
Grant recipients include:
ChiefWatermelon Mountain Ranch Inc.
How we help
Grant funds from Grey Muzzle will allow Watermelon Mountain Ranch Animal Center (WMRAC) to develop a senior to senior adoption program. This program will expand the number of senior animal transfers that they are able to do and also connect the senior citizens in their community with senior animals that deserve a home in their golden years.
About Watermelon Mountain Ranch Inc.
Watermelon Mountain Ranch Animal Center (WMRAC) was founded in 2002 with the mindset that "All Who Enter Will Find Love." This motto not only applies to the animals that come through their gates but also to the humans that enter looking to find a companion. WMRAC works diligently to foster the animal-human bond, and to that end, Molly's Mercy Missions were established in 2016 to save some of the most vulnerable lives in at risk municipal shelters across the Southwest. These missions specifically pull and transfer animals that are in danger of euthanasia. Many of the animals saved are seniors that have lost their homes due to no fault of their own.
Granny SmithWest Valley Humane Society
How we help
The senior dogs that come into the West Valley Humane Society have been neglected and most have not had regular veterinary care. The Grey Muzzle grant will provide funding to do blood work on our senior dogs and also support dental procedures, as needed. The blood work will allow us to identify underlying conditions and provide medication and treatment. We will also be able to provide this information to prospective adopters so that they are prepared to meet their new family member’s health needs.
About West Valley Humane Society
West Valley Humane Society's mission is to provide professional and compassionate animal services through shelter, adoption, educational programs, population control and health care services while remaining fiscally responsible. We are the only nonprofit, open admission animal shelter in Canyon County, serving a population of 211,698. In 2017 we saw 7,779 animals come through our doors from our own community, as well as out of state transfers into our facility. We welcomed 348 senior dogs into our care, many of whom required dental work before being adopted to loving families.
ScullyYork County SPCA
How we help
Barriers to senior dog adoption include uncertainty about the dog’s medical history and cost of care. A Grey Muzzle grant will enable the York County SPCA to provide senior dogs a special Double-Digit Dog Adoption Package to help overcome these barriers. The package includes advanced blood work, up to four months of medication, and up to two grooming sessions. Grey Muzzle’s support will help dogs like Scully find a permanent, loving home.
About York County SPCA

About Young at Heart Pet Rescue
