Operation Amazonas is returning to Colombia in 2027!

In February 2026, we traveled to the Colombian Amazon to provide veterinary care in remote communities. While logistics limited our first trip to parasite treatment and wound care, it also helped us build the local partnerships needed to do more.

Now, the Operation Amazonas Fund is supporting a community vaccine clinic led by our new local partners at Amazon Paws | VETERINARIA , alongside our returning partners at Chunaki Ecolodges

You can help fund the clinic through the link in Gray Muzzle Society’s bio.

And in 2027, we’re going back.

The clinic will take place during Threaded Expeditions | Wildlife Travel Andes & Amazon trip, led by GMS co-founder Kayson Cooper. For every full-paying participant who joins the trip, $500 will go directly to the Operation Amazonas Fund to support veterinary care in the communities we visit.

Want to come with us? Explore the 2027 Andes & Amazon trip through the link in Threaded Expeditions’ bio.

Huge thanks, as always, to Allison Mae | Denver Dog Photographer for capturing our adoptable pets in their best light!

Monet and Benny are both looking for foster or forever homes. These two are younger than our usual crowd, but they came to Gray Muzzle Society because they have some special care needs.

Interested in welcoming one of them into your home? Reach out! We’d love to tell you more about them and the care they need.

An adoption update from Sssstevie! 🐍

She’s loving life with her new snake mom, Ellen, with plenty of things to climb on and even an outdoor tent to explore on sunny days. We love seeing her in a home that gives her so many opportunities to stay active and curious.

Despite their reputation, boas can be calm, intelligent companions. They do need the right setup and a long-term commitment, and Sssstevie’s new home is a wonderful example of giving a snake room to thrive.

Brutus and Gary are still looking for their forever homes! Interested in adopting? Send us a message to learn more.

Maggie and Ollie are 10-year-old best friends who have spent their lives together, and they need their next chapter to be together, too.

Maggie is a 35-lb Australian Shepherd mix, and Ollie is a 19-lb Jack Russell Terrier mix. They arrived at Humane Society of Boulder Valley on June 30 after their elderly guardian could no longer care for them.

Shelter staff have found that both dogs become more anxious and fearful when separated, so HSBV is hoping to find a home where they can stay together.

Boulder reached out to us because they know exactly the kind of people we're sharing them with.

The Gray Muzzle Society community is full of people who see the value in older animals. People who know that ten years old doesn't mean a life is finished, and who aren't afraid to love an animal whose story started long before they met.

That's why we're asking our community to help us find Maggie and Ollie's person.

Gray Muzzle Society regularly welcomes senior and special-needs animals from open-admission shelters throughout Colorado.

Those shelters provide an essential safety net for the enormous number of animals surrendered in our state every day, a volume that foster-based rescues like ours could never absorb alone.

But that's also why Gray Muzzle Society exists.

A busy shelter simply cannot provide every senior or medically complex animal with the individualized, long-term care they may need to truly thrive. Our foster-based model gives us the ability to meet those animals where they are and provide the level of care they need, made possible because our community believes they're worth the investment.

We don't replace open-admission shelters, and they don't replace organizations like ours. We need each other. Sometimes that means transferring an animal into GMS care. Sometimes it means sharing resources, expertise, or an audience. And sometimes, as with Maggie and Ollie, it means working together to help two deserving old dogs find exactly the right people.

Maggie and Ollie are available through Humane Society of Boulder Valley. Their ideal home will keep them together and have no children under 10. HSBV is also offering them at a 2-for-1 adoption price to make sure these best friends stay together.

Maybe their person or family is already following us.

Two seniors. One home. One more chapter together.

If you've ever wondered whether a $5, $10, or $25 donation matters, I can tell you that it does. Those small gifts become bloodwork, medications, diagnostic testing, follow-up appointments, and treatment plans.

I'll be honest: we're feeling the weight of these veterinary expenses right now, and we could really use your help.

Veterinary care is expensive. Diagnostics are expensive. Medications are expensive. And the animals who need help the most are rarely the easy, inexpensive cases.

This week, Gray Muzzle Society welcomed two cats who need significant medical care.

Willow is only 5 years old and suffers from chronic dermatitis. She is uncomfortable, itchy, and needs diagnostics and treatment trials to help us determine the cause and find relief.

Frankie is a 10-year-old calico with suspected inflammatory bowel disease and other medical concerns that require further investigation. Right now, we have more questions than answers, and those answers come with veterinary appointments, lab work, and diagnostics.

These are exactly the kinds of animals Gray Muzzle Society was created to help.

Animals who aren't "easy."

Animals who need someone willing to invest the time, money, and effort to figure out what's wrong.

Animals who deserve a chance, even when their medical records are complicated.

Every time we take in a cat like Willow or Frankie, we're making a promise: that we will do everything we can to give them comfort, answers, and a path forward.

Today, we're asking for your help keeping that promise.

We know times are tough. We know everyone is being asked to give. But if Gray Muzzle Society's mission speaks to you, and if you believe that medically complex animals deserve care too, we'd be grateful for your support.

Because Willow and Frankie are worth it.

And we're going to keep fighting for them.

Every life we say yes to comes with a story — and a cost. Lately, that commitment has been stretching us thin financially, but dogs in need don’t stop needing help when times get hard.

Meet two of our newest rescues:

Monet is a toy poodle/shih tzu mix weighing just around 4 pounds. She has EPI, a metabolic disorder that requires a special diet with supplements to keep her healthy. At only 3 years old, Monet has a long life ahead of her and a whole lot of love to give.

Beowulf is a 10-year-old Great Pyrenees weighing 155 pounds. He came to us overweight and struggling with arthritis. His food alone is costly, and his medications and joint care add up quickly — but we already see hope returning to his eyes. He deserves comfort, dignity, and the chance to feel good again. He is one of the gentlest souls we've ever met and gets along beautifully with all animals and people.

Despite their enormous size difference, Monet and Beowulf arrived needing the very same thing: compassion, medical care, and a safe place to land. These two could fit beautifully into the right families someday. We believe their futures are bright. But rescue only works when the community carries it together.

If you believe dogs like Monet and Beowulf deserve a second chance please consider making a donation.

Even sharing this post helps more than you know.

Ever thought about fostering? Now is the time.

At Gray Muzzle Sanctuary, we take in the pets others pass by. Pets with special needs, seniors, and those who’ve run out of options need your help.

A lot of people hesitate to help animals like these because of the cost, but with fostering, you get all the love and impact without the financial burden.

We cover food and vet care. You just provide a safe place and some kindness.

We’re also working to grow our foster base because more fosters means we qualify for grants that help us save even more lives. So by opening your home, you’re helping more than just one animal.

If you’ve been on the fence about fostering, this is your sign.

Message us to learn more.

One of the surest signs of spring? Baby chicks for sale at the feed store.
And with that, it's time for our annual reminder: many of those chicks will grow up to be roosters.
Just this month, nine roosters have joined the bachelor flock at Molly's Menagerie, our farm animal rescue. They're the lucky ones. Because roosters aren't permitted in most cities, and placement options are scarce, many shelters have no choice but to euthanize them.
Roosters are remarkably intelligent animals. They use distinct vocalizations to warn their flock of specific threats, problem-solve, and even show empathy. They're not just noise. They're individuals.
If backyard chickens are on your radar this spring, please have a plan for the roosters before you bring chicks home. Sexing chicks isn't foolproof, and "straight run" means you're rolling the dice.
