The Grey Muzzle Organization

If you're fortunate, you have lived, or currently live, with an old dog. As cherished companions, The old dogs in our lives enrich our days for as long as we are privileged to have them.you may find it inconceivable then that a treasured member of The family would be tossed away when signs of old age appear, when extra care is required, or after The kids leave home. But this is all too common. Old dogs are left at shelters, or simply turned loose or left behind, confused and frightened. Abandonment can also happen right at home - old dogs who are no longer wanted are sometimes banished to The garage or exiled to The back yard with little human companionship. And sadly, sometimes people or families who love their old dog are forced to give The dog up due to difficult circumstances.currently there are very few rescue groups in The united states that specialize in helping homeless senior dogs, though older dogs are found in every municipal animal shelter and humane society and with rescue leagues of all shapes and sizes. There is a great need for special programs that are unique to old dogs, such as hospice care and health care programs for dogs in loving homes whose people may need a little financial assistance as their dog ages. We believe much more can be done.
