Can you provide financial support/grants to a senior dog in our shelter/rescue?
Grey Muzzle does not provide funding for individual dogs, even those currently in shelters/rescue organizations.
Our funding supports senior dog programs run by nonprofit shelters and rescues. You can learn more about our Grant Process and the types of programs we support to see if your organization aligns.
Can you make a courtesy post on your social media for an adoptable senior dog?
While we wish we could help promote every dog looking for a home, Grey Muzzle does not share individual courtesy posts or adoption listings outside of the dogs and organizations featured through our own programs and partnerships.
Because we receive many similar requests, we maintain a consistent policy regarding the content shared through our social media channels and communications.
We sincerely appreciate your understanding and wish your senior dog(s) the very best in finding the right home.
Can you help rehome my personal senior dog?
We appreciate you taking the time to try to find him/her a safe new home.
Grey Muzzle is not a rescue or rehoming group. We are a nonprofit that provides grant funding to shelters and rescue organizations that support senior dogs, so unfortunately, we aren’t able to assist directly with rehoming.
You may want to try the following resources:
- Search for local rescue organizations or {breed}–specific rescues in your area
- Visit www.Petfinder.com to locate rescues and shelters near you that may be able to help
- Contact local animal shelters or humane societies to ask if they offer owner-surrender or rehoming assistance programs
You may also consider asking your veterinarian, local pet supply stores, or community groups if they can help share information about your dog with potential adopters.
If you choose to share your dog on Facebook or Craigslist, we recommend you meet with the interested adopters in person to verify they are a good fit for your dog.
We wish you the very best and hope you’re able to find your dog a great home.
Do you accept in-kind donations?
Grey Muzzle does not operate shelters or care for dogs directly, so we’re unable to accept supplies. However, many local rescues would be grateful for your donation.
You can find organizations near you here:
or you can see if there is a Grey Muzzle Grantee Organization with a senior dog program in your local area.
Thank you for thinking of us and for your support of senior dogs!
