The Pet Cottage, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing lifelong guardianship for pets whose humans can no longer care for them, has been awarded a $25,000 grant from The Grey Muzzle Foundation. This funding will directly support veterinary care, medications, and preventatives for senior dogs living at the sanctuary and in forever guardian homes.
“This generous support from Grey Muzzle allows us to fulfill our promise of lifelong care with renewed confidence and the steadfast support of our community,” said Wendy Derhak, founder and executive director of The Pet Cottage. “So many of the dogs who come to us are in their golden years and require ongoing medical support. This grant helps ensure they receive everything they need to live healthy, comfortable lives surrounded by love.”
The Grey Muzzle Foundation received a record number of high-quality applications this year and selected The Pet Cottage for its impactful work with senior dogs. The award is part of a named grant made possible by one of Grey Muzzle’s high-level donors, further underscoring the importance of collaborative compassion in meeting the needs of aging pets.
From providing sanctuary care for bonded pairs to matching senior dogs with loving forever guardians — often seniors themselves — The Pet Cottage gives dogs a soft place to land when their world changes due to death, disability, or deployment. The organization believes that every pet deserves to age with dignity, and this grant will make that vision even more possible.
