A true kitty hero, BUB is using her fame to be a voice for cats and dogs, especially those who need some extra help. At UPAWS, we were fortunate enough to develop our “Extra Special Pets for Extra Special People” with funding assistance from Lil’ BUB to help medical/behaviorally challenged pets find their forever homes faster!
How they support us: UPAWS received a grant from Lil’ Bubs BIG Fund in fall of 2016 to support post adoption care for special needs pets.

The Grey Muzzle Organization improves the lives of at-risk senior dogs by providing funding and resources to animal shelters, rescue organizations, sanctuaries, and other non-profit groups nationwide.
We are not a shelter or rescue group. Rather, Grey Muzzle funds programs such as hospice care, senior dog adoption, medical screening, and other special programs to help old dogs at animal welfare organizations across the country.
