Thanks to grants from the Grey Muzzle Organization and others, Arizona Humane Society can help pets like Odi and their people cover medical costs (submitted photo).
The Arizona Humane Society (AHS) recently announced that it received a special $12,000 grant from the Grey Muzzle Organization to support AHS’s lifesaving work with senior dogs.
The gift will allow AHS to keep pets, namely seniors, in loving homes and out of shelters by providing monetary assistance to pet owners in need through its Bridge the Gap program. This unique partnership will help the nonprofit ensure that it can provide struggling pet parents with the resources they need to care for their beloved senior pets, like Odi, AHS said.
Odi’s owner, Christopher, applied for assistance for his 10-year-old pup, who one day was unable to walk and began experiencing other health issues. Christopher realized he couldn’t afford the costly vet expenses at the time, but thanks to the support from Grey Muzzle, Bridge the Gap was able to cover the down payment for Odi’s necessary medical services in its entirety.
Odi’s story is just one example of how Grey Muzzle, paired with the resources offered by AHS, are making a real difference in the lives of deserving pets and people.
