Mary Jacobsen speaks with Lisa Lunghofer, Executive Director of the Grey Muzzle Organization (GMO) about the nationwide non-profit’s advocacy for the well-being of Senior Dogs.

Lunghofer talks about GMO’s vision of a world where “every senior dog thrives and no old dog dies alone and afraid.”

She also talks about the special vulnerabilities of senior dogs, including their lower adoption rates when they wind up in shelters. Only 50% of available older dogs find new homes. She describes as well the distinctive joy and benefits of sharing life with a seasoned, calm, and sweet “grey muzzle.”

Lunghofer provides examples of how GMO provides funding and resources to animal shelters, rescue organizations, and other non-profits nationally, including support for dental and health care and, when needed, hospice care so that senior dogs receive love and care until their final breath.
