Tyson’s Place Receives Grey Muzzle Grant

Holland –There’s good news for old dogs this summer as The Grey Muzzle Organization
announces the recipients of its annual grants, and dogs at Tyson’s Place Animal Rescue are among the
winners.
Tyson’s Place Animal Rescue in Holland is one of 100 animal welfare groups chosen from nearly 400 applicants to receive a grant to help local senior dogs and the people who love them. The winning groups
are sharing more than $1 million in grants to help save and improve the lives of at-risk old dogs
in their communities.

Tyson’s Place will be using the grant to assist older adults with the cost of veterinary care for senior dogs. Michigan residents age 60 and over can apply by emailing tysonsplacerescue@gmail.com. The grant will help cover the cost of preventative care, vaccinations, bloodwork, dental cleanings, and treatment of minor health issues for dogs age 7 and older. Income criteria apply.

“The goals of the grant are to help senior dogs stay with their older owners longer by covering vet costs and to ensure prompt care for senior dogs, reducing unnecessary suffering,” said Jill Bannink-Albrecht, Founder and President. “No one is more grateful or loving than an old dog,
and we’re looking forward to helping more senior dogs get the second chance they all deserve.”

Over the past 16 years, the national nonprofit Grey Muzzle Organization has provided more
than $5.7 million in grants to support its vision of “a world where every senior dog thrives, and
no old dog dies alone and afraid.”
“Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we’re delighted to help deserving organizations like
Tyson’s Place Animal Rescue make a positive difference in the lives of dogs and people in their
communities,” Grey Muzzle’s Executive Director Lisa Lunghofer said.
Tyson’s Place Animal Rescue is a 501c3 non-profit animal rescue that assists terminally ill people with caring for and finding new families for their pets.
A national nonprofit, The Grey Muzzle Organization, improves the lives of at-risk senior dogs by
