Old dogs have something to wag about this summer: Kohala Animal Relocation and Education Service or KARES is among the winners of an annual grant from The Grey Muzzle Organization.
The grant will provide medical and dental care to at-risk rescued and owned senior dogs, those aged 7 years and older. The award of $10,000 is intended to make a difference in the lives of older dogs in support of the vision of a world where no old dog dies alone and afraid.
“No one is more grateful or loving than an old dog, and we’re looking forward to helping more senior dogs get the second chance they all deserve,” said Deborah M. Cravatta, president of KARES.
KARES, a nonprofit formed in 2009, was one of 78 animal welfare groups chosen from 344 applicants nationwide to receive a grant.
“Many senior dogs in Hawaii are enjoying their golden years in loving homes thanks to the wonderful work of KARES,” said Grey Muzzle Executive Director Lisa Lunghofer.
