If you share your life with an amazing aging dog, tell the world about your best friend! In celebration of Adopt a Senior Pet Month, we’re asking everyone who adores an old dog to help spread the word by sharing #WhyWeLoveOldDogs on social media.

Is your dog a world-class cuddler or the cutest social butterfly? Does your little dog have a big personality or does your big guy think he’s a lapdog? Share the unique qualities that make your senior dog shine by entering our contest: Simply post a photo and brief comments on your choice of social media with the hashtag #WhyWeLoveOldDogs. When you show and tell the world about the joy that senior dogs bring into our lives, you are helping to inspire others to give a senior dog a second chance. You can learn more in the Grey Muzzle Newsroom!

The only thing better than seeing a new frosted face each month is knowing that you are helping senior dogs who need a second chance at a happy ending. Order your 2019 Grey Muzzle calendar today!
