Nicola Coyle has always cared for dogs, but after retiring as a nurse, she was able to put all of her energy into providing for those abandoned in the last days of their lives. She started Grey Muzzle Canine Hospice in Mansfield, England, to shower these dogs with love.

Nicola can’t stand to think about dogs spending their end days in a shelter without the love they deserve, so she takes them in. Any dog deemed to have six months or less to live or any dog on the euthanasia list is a candidate.
