Meet The Resident Dogs
We provide intentional detailed hospice care for a small number of senior dogs, specializing in those with terminal diagnoses or other special medical needs. Resident dogs are not for adoption, they live here with us and benefit from compassionate, individualized holistic and traditional medical treatment with a priority on safety and comfort for the time they have left.
Noodles
Noodles is a 12-13 year old Shih Tzu mix rescued from the Orcas Animal Shelter after his lifetime caregiver was unable to take care of him and his brother Frankie. Noodles and Frankie were staff/volunteer favorites at the shelter, but unfortunately no one was able to step up to adopt not just one but both of them, and its very important they remain together.
Rescue Date: August 7, 2025
Age: 12-13
Likes: Being the center of attention, belly rubs, giving sweet kisses, treats!
Dislikes: Fruit, and nothing else! He's almost always a happy guy
He Believes: He believes he is the biggest boy there ever was in the world.
Frankie
Frankie is a 15 year old Pekignese. He was also at the Orcas Animal Shelter with his brother where he stayed for about 4 months waiting for the right family. Unfortunately, no one came. He struggles with some respiratory issues and moves a little slow in his old age, but is happy and otherwise quite healthy.
Rescue Date: August 7, 2025
Age: 15
Likes: Being a regal gentleman, afternoon naps (with snoring!), watching his younger friends while perched atop an orthopedic bed, sniffing around the property.
Dislikes: Any vegetable (he would rather starve!), and some new people. He takes a bit of time to warm up but once he does he's very loyal and sweet.
He Believes: Naps should remain uninterrupted under all circumstances.
Gerald
Gerald was rescued from a hoarder where he was severely neglected. All of his fur had fallen out and his body was covered with sores. After some time in a shelter and several years at another rescue he's finally made it to Gray Muzzle Project where his allergies will be managed with thoughtful care and he can have a relaxing retirement.
Rescue Date: May 29, 2026
Age: 10-ish
Likes: Burrowing under pillows, shredding toys, sunbathing, snoring
Dislikes: Chilly mornings, being by himself
