Grey Face Rescue

12 Months. 12 Dentals. 12 Senior Lives Changed.

For Give to the Max Day 2026, Grey Face Rescue & Retirement is asking our community to help us prepare for the year ahead by addressing one of the most common medical needs we see in the senior animals who enter our care: dental disease.

For many of our seniors, dental care goes far beyond a routine cleaning. Years of untreated or advanced dental disease can result in chronic pain, infection, difficulty eating, damaged or missing teeth, and other health concerns that can significantly impact an animal’s quality of life.

Complex dental procedures are also one of the more significant veterinary expenses Grey Face Rescue takes on. Based on current Pet Central pricing, the average cost of a complex dental procedure for a Grey Face senior is approximately $1,285. This does not include additional expenses such as pre-operative bloodwork, medications, diagnostic testing, or other veterinary care that may be required.

This Give to the Max Day, we want to turn that need into a tangible goal for 2027: Fund one complex dental procedure every month for an entire year.

Our Give to the Max Day Goal: $15,420
12 Complex Dental Procedures × $1,285 = $15,420

Reaching this goal would provide funding for approximately 12 complex dental procedures in 2027!
