​GREY MUZZLE GRANT GIVES SENIOR DOGS AT CARE HUMANE SOCIETY A GREATER ADOPTION OPPORTUNITY.

​

AUBURN, Ala. –There’s good news for old dogs this summer as The Grey Muzzle Organization announces the recipients of its annual grants, and dogs at CARE are among the winners. 

 

CARE Humane Society™ in Auburn is one of 100 animal welfare groups chosen from nearly 400 applicants to receive a grant to help local senior dogs and the people who love them. The winning groups are sharing more than $1 million in grants to help save and improve the lives of at-risk old dogs in their communities. 

 

This $10,000 grant will enable us to give senior dogs like Timon, an 8-year-old, another opportunity to find their forever home. Timon is one of our eligible residents for the Grey Muzzle program due to his medical needs. There's nothing quite like the gratitude and love of an older dog, and we’re excited to help more senior dogs like Timon get the second chance they deserve.

 

Over the past 16 years, the national nonprofit Grey Muzzle Organization has provided more than $5.7 million in grants to support its vision of “a world where every senior dog thrives, and no old dog dies alone and afraid.” 

 

“Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we’re delighted to help deserving organizations like CARE Humane Society make a positive difference in the lives of dogs and people in their communities,” Grey Muzzle’s Executive Director Lisa Lunghofer said. “Many senior dogs in Auburn & Opelika are enjoying their golden years in loving homes thanks to the lifesaving work of CARE Humane Society.”
