Becoming a Hero means more than making a donation. 🤍🐾

It means helping us say yes when a senior dog needs us most.

At Gray Muzzle Project, every dog who enters our sanctuary receives individualized hospice support for the rest of their life: medications, diagnostics, mobility support, specialized nutrition, comfort care, enrichment, and a safe place to land.

But sustainable rescue requires sustainable funding.

Right now, we are working toward welcoming another senior dog into our care. The reality is that monthly donors give us the stability and confidence to make those decisions thoughtfully instead of from a place of fear or uncertainty.

Hero Program members help create:
🤍 consistent medical care
🤍 daily support and nutrition
🤍 long-term hospice planning
🤍 future rescues and sanctuary growth

Even small monthly gifts make a meaningful difference because they allow us to plan ahead and continue building this work sustainably.

We intentionally started small, but our hope is to continue growing so more senior dogs can receive the comfort, dignity, and lifelong care they deserve.

If you’ve been looking for a way to directly support this mission, becoming a monthly Hero is one of the most impactful ways to help. 🤍 Please visit https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=5HT2YHTRCV8X8 to become a Hero today.

With love,
Frankie, Noodles, Titan, Amos, and Dulce 🩷

Good morning Gray Muzzle Family. 🩶🩺
There's a new little guy that needs our help. 🐾Gerald is a senior mutt who came from a hoarding situation in terrible condition. He suffers from severe food allergies and his skin was infected, bleeding, and painful. He's stabilized now and much healthier, but needs a long-term place to go that can accommodate specific dietary needs for the rest of his days, ensuring he never has to endure this again.

Here's how you can help? 🩷
🐾The trip to retrieve Gerald in his remote location is a 6 hour drive. Can you donate $50 to offset fuel costs and sponsor his trip home?
🐾Gerald requires a home cooked Beef diet and ongoing supplements to keep him healthy. We estimate this could cost at least $100 per month. Can you donate to offset the costs?

Please visit to donate to Gerald's rescue: https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=5HT2YHTRCV8X8 to donate, and we'll keep you updated if/when we are able to bring this guy home and into our forever care 🏠

Thanks in advance for the support!

What happens when love is no longer enough? 🤍🐾

This week, we said goodbye to our beautiful girl Darlin.

One of the hardest parts of hospice work is knowing that love alone cannot stop aging, disease, or the body from slowly letting go. But what love can do is make sure a dog never has to face those moments alone.

Darlin was deeply loved here.

As her mobility declined and her body became more tired, our focus shifted fully toward comfort, dignity, support, and reducing suffering. Every decision we made for her came from a place of compassion and commitment to her quality of life.

This is the sacred and heartbreaking responsibility we take on when we say yes to hospice care.

To walk beside them all the way to the end.
To listen when their body tells us it is time.
To carry their pain so they no longer have to.

Darlin leaves behind a space that cannot be filled, but we are endlessly grateful we were able to give her safety, softness, and love during this chapter of her life. She gave so much in return 🩷

Run free, sweet girl. 🤍

Bring your pup, explore the gardens, enjoy some summer fun, and help support senior dogs in hospice sanctuary care.

📍 Heronswood Garden- Kingston

It's $5 Friday and today we celebrate how a little can go a long way!
Big wins for Titan 🤍🐾

When Titan first arrived at the sanctuary, he was weak, emaciated, and struggling from untreated illness. Today, thanks to consistent care and a whole lot of patience, we’re beginning to see small but meaningful progress every day.

More confidence.
More strength.
A softer coat.
Better digestion.
A little more weight on the scale.
A dog beginning to feel safe again.

Titan’s journey is a reminder that hospice care is often about the little things — steady routines, nutritious meals, medications given with care, frequent check-ins, and the time it takes to rebuild trust and comfort.

His needs are ongoing, but so is our commitment to him. 🤍

Every donation helps us continue providing the consistency and individualized care dogs like Titan rely on every single day.

Why do we sometimes pause intakes? 🤍🐾
One of the questions we get asked most often is how many dogs we can take in at The Gray Muzzle Project.

The truth is: rescue is deeply connected to capacity.

Every dog who comes into our care requires individualized support — medications, specialized nutrition, mobility assistance, veterinary care, emotional support, enrichment, and a safe environment designed around their unique needs.

We intentionally started small because we wanted to build a sanctuary model rooted in thoughtful, sustainable care.

Over the last year, we’ve welcomed 6 senior dogs into the program and committed to supporting them for life. We’re incredibly proud of the care we’ve been able to provide so far — but we also know there are many more dogs who deserve this kind of support.

Our hope is to continue growing over time so we can help even more senior dogs receive comfort, dignity, and lifelong care.

But growth requires resources.

Right now, our ability to expand is directly connected to consistent funding from individual donors, ongoing commitment of time from our dedicated volunteers, and community support. Monthly giving helps create the stability needed to plan ahead, say yes to future dogs, and continue building this program sustainably. This continues to be the best way people can show up for us 🩷

We’re still a young organization, and we’re learning and growing every day as we continue shaping what this sanctuary can become.

This is only the beginning, and we’re so grateful to everyone helping us build something lasting. 🤍

Every donor, volunteer, share, and kind word helps move this mission forward.

With gratitude,
The Gray Muzzle Project Team 🩺🐾🩷

Special Request from Frankie and Noodles:
"Our mom is busy day and night training new volunteers, raising money, helping with events, cooking our meals, and making sure we feel safe and loved. Could you give her a hand with some painting or gardening tasks next weekend?" 🌱

We've got another community work day scheduled for next Sunday 12-330. Can they count on you?

It’s $5 Friday 🤍🐾

This week we’re featuring Dulce, our sweet senior girl whose journey reminds us what hospice support is all about: comfort, dignity, and making every day count.

Thanks to this incredible community, Dulce was able to receive the surgery and ongoing care she needed. While her journey is still unfolding, she continues to be surrounded by thoughtful medical support, comfort care, and lots of love.

Your support helps provide:
• pain management and ongoing hospice care
• nutritional support and weight management
• medications and routine monitoring
• a safe, calm environment where dogs like Dulce can simply rest and heal

Every small gift helps us continue showing up for senior dogs who deserve compassion in every stage of life. 🤍

Spring has sprung at the sanctuary 💜🌱🪻🍀

Now that all 6 gray muzzle residents are settled in we've spent time planting a garden, foraging for medicinal plants, and doing some needed spring cleaning.

As we head into the next season of this project, consider supporting us in the following ways to help us care for more dogs and each other.

🌟Register for a work party. There are still openings for both May 9 and 17. Help is needed with painting and gardening and these will be fun days to check out the sanctuary and lend a hand. Visit https://signup.com/go/ttxMFHH to signup.
🌟Help us find our Community Engagement Lead! We're hoping to get more involved in community events this year but need a spokesperson. If you know someone who loves planning events, send them our way. Full description can be found herehttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1xrYEa-FwbJxrbjOjAVycDwABGOulSvR9AvNiO6d20lA/edit?usp=drivesdk
🌟Keep these bellies full by volunteering as a Dog Food Chef. We're looking for 1-2 people to pitch in to make large batches of dog food in your own kitchen.
🌟Consider donating on a one time or monthly basis. We can make a little go a long way so every dollar helps. Visit https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=5HT2YHTRCV8X8

It's a privilege to be exhausted by a life created on purpose. Here's to building a team to head strong into the next chapter.
With love,
Dr. Jamie 🩶🩺🐾

GiveBIG 2026 is almost here 🤍🐾

This Tuesday, Gray Muzzle Project is joining Washington’s statewide day of giving.

This year, we’re focusing on our Hero Program: donors who commit to small monthly gifts that help provide consistent funding for food, medications, hospice care, and future rescues.

We had an incredible first year welcoming 6 senior dogs, but there are more who deserve a second chance. Monthly giving helps us grow with intention and say yes when dogs need us most, while feeling confident we can commit to a lifetime of care.

📅 Tuesday, May 5 - though platform is already open for early giving
🤍 Join our community of Heroes

This important work cannot happen without your support, so on Tuesday, and every day we thank YOU!
