Share the Joy of Adopting a Senior Dog and Encourage Others to Do the Same
If you share your life with an amazing aging dog, tell the world how grateful you are for your senior best friend! In celebration of Adopt a Senior Pet Month and the thankfulness of the season, we're asking everyone who adores an older dog (distinguished grey muzzle on full display or not) to help spread the word by sharing #GreyMuzzleGratitude on social media.
Is your dog the only one that appreciates your off-key singing in the shower? Does your dog hold the top prize in your household for best power nap buddy? Is your dog known for a particular antic that lifts your spirits every time? Whatever their joy-dispensing tricks or quirky traits, we want to know what makes you thankful for your senior dog. Show your appreciation for them by entering our #GreyMuzzleGratitude contest.
Simply post a photo and brief comments on your choice of social media or in the comments section of our Facebook page with the hashtag #GreyMuzzleGratitude, or submit your entry to info@greymuzzle.org. When you show and tell the world about the joy a senior dog brings into your life, you are helping to inspire others to give a senior dog a second chance.
You and your dog could be selected as one of ten winners to be posted on our website and receive prizes. And just by sharing your story, you'll be aiding other older dogs who are waiting for the best prize of all: a forever home. Entries featuring senior dogs seeking adopters are also welcome!
We believe, as you do, that senior dogs are the best. Because of you, we're getting closer to our vision of a world where every senior dog thrives, and no old dog dies alone and afraid. Thank you for opening your heart and home to a senior dog and encouraging others to do the same.
