A Balanced Approach

Each Gray Muzzle resident is provided with a comprehensive care plan plus plenty of love and enrichment to account not only their physical but social and emotional well-being.  Dogs coming to The Gray Muzzle Project have often been through the trauma of abandonment or rehoming and ensuring their safety, comfort, and peace of mind is the ultimate goal.

  • Lickimats

  • Slow feeder bowls

  • Kongs or other lickable treats (often frozen for increased duration/difficulty)

  • Food Puzzles

  • Chewing activities

  • ​​Car rides

  • ​Walks/snifarris (slow loose leash walks with no destination)

  • Games

  • Scent work

  • Variety of food textures and flavors, aromatherapy, music, social interactions.
