Senior dogs are WINNING today! We're thrilled to announce that we are one of 119 grant recipients awarded funding from the $1.57 million distributed by The Grey Muzzle Organization to support lifesaving efforts for senior dogs like Meringue here from our Plaquemines Campus.

This critical funding supports animal shelters and rescues across the USA, France, and Nepal in developing senior-focused programs—including medical and dental care, surrender prevention, hospice care, and adoption incentives. This will allow us to increase positive outcomes for the senior dogs in our care.

A huge thank you to Grey Muzzle and their generous supporters for making this possible and for believing in a time where every senior dog finds safety, love, and a soft landing.
