Grey Muzzle News

Every senior dog deserves health and happiness in their golden years. Because of your generosity, senior dogs like Peanut have the best gift of all: hope for the holidays. Peanut was surrendered to a vet’s office for euthanasia because “he was old,” yet there was hope in his cloudy, aged eyes.

In celebration of Adopt a Senior Pet Month and the thankfulness of the season, we asked everyone who adores an older dog (distinguished grey muzzle on full display or not) to help spread the word by submitting their pup in our #GreyMuzzleGratitude Challenge. The love stories and expressions of gratitude came rolling in and truly warmed our hearts!

In celebration of Adopt a Senior Pet Month, 23 senior dogs took to the skies from California to Oregon on a journey to their forever homes. Although we are celebrating 23 heartwarming adoptions, thousands more at-risk senior dogs in shelters all across the country still need your help. With your support, this GivingTuesday we can ensure more senior dogs like Maggie spend their golden years safe and loved, no matter where they call home.

Grey Muzzle celebrated Adopt a Senior Pet Month in style with Today.com. We are thankful to Anna Kaplan for sharing the story of this special lifesaving mission made possible by a Grey Muzzle grant to Pet Rescue Pilots. On November 5, Pet Rescue Pilots flew senior dogs from rural California shelters where they had little chance of adoption to Oregon where they were welcomed by foster parents and forever families.

Grey Muzzle is honored to be featured in an article on People.com about a very special seniors-only rescue mission. For its 125th rescue flight, Pet Rescue Pilots, with a grant from The Grey Muzzle Organization, flew 23 senior dogs from California to Oregon, ensuring these older pups found loving homes.

Grey Muzzle grantee Pet Rescue Pilots is kicking off Adopt a Senior Pet Month in a big way!

For most of us the idea of flying 2,500 shelter pets to forever homes seems like an extraordinary and unthinkable task. But for L.A.-based Pet Rescue Pilots and its rescue network, it’s all part of a day’s work.

If a senior dog has ever touched your heart and shared your home, the 2023 Grey Muzzle calendar is for you. We are fans of celebrating the bond with our old dogs year round. So in true Grey Muzzle fashion, we've put together a new collection of treasured senior dogs to grace our lives throughout 2023. The 2023 calendar features dozens of the pictures submitted by you during our Summer Smile Campaign.

We are thrilled to be featured in Modern Dog, a lifestyle magazine for modern dogs and their companions. Raising awareness of senior dogs helps us take a step closer to our vision of a world where every senior dog thrives and no old dog dies alone and afraid.

Grey Muzzle's seventh annual Summer Smile Campaign is underway! Our goal is to raise $25,000 by September 8 so even more senior dogs than ever before can experience new smiles and brighter tomorrows. We can't do it without you! Give a gift to our dental fund and how off your grey muzzle's smile for a cause by entering them in our 2023 calendar contest.
