When senior dogs enter shelters, their future is uncertain. The adoption rate for senior dogs (7 years or older) is lower than that of all other ages combined: Just over 50% find new homes. The Grey Muzzle Organization is one of the only national organizations dedicated specifically to advancing lifesaving efforts on behalf of senior dogs. We provide funding and resources to animal shelters and rescues groups nationwide.

The Senior Dogs Project provides a home for the individual senior dogs we have adopted over the past two-and-a-half decades. However, we do not act as a rescue organization. Instead, we bring attention to rescue groups and shelters by listing them on the srdogs.com site and by citing their amazing efforts to save senior dogs.
