The Grey Muzzle Organization founder believes senior dogs deserve the “happiest time we can give them” no matter if they have years, months, or even days left in their lives. Since 2008, Grey Muzzle has awarded more than $1.5 million in grants to countless animal shelters, rescues, sanctuaries, breed specific rescues, and other nonprofits to help better the lives of senior canines in thirty-eight states.
Tens of thousands of street dogs roam Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal. These often sickly-looking canines scavenge for food and often hang out around tourist attractions. Many carry rabies. The city government formerly set out poisoned meat at night to control the street dog population. Fortunately, one nonprofit animal rescue organization’s “catch and release” spay/neuter/vaccinate/treat program has replaced the poison method and saved thousands of canines.

These lucky canines heal together as they romp on nearly seventy-five acres, swim in a pond, and sleep crate-free at night in the living room of a cozy farmhouse!

UPDATED: The Arizona Humane Society workers said that Choco was untrainable. Judie Niece ended up adopting and renaming him Good Grief Charlie Brown. This rescue dog and his proud owner/handler Judie Niece defied that Humane Society’s opinion. Charlie now has 48 titles to his name and still competes!
