Welcome, glad you are here!
Grateful Dogs, Inc., founded in 2025, by Michael Gregory is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a mission to help animals in need and have fun doing it. We want to be a Rescue with positive energy that facilitates placing dogs & cats into fabulous homes while educating our community on the importance of spaying & neutering.
Michael, a native Kentuckian, is a staunch animal welfare advocate. He dedicated five (5) years to the Simpson County Animal Shelter working alongside other staff and passionate volunteers to save the lives of scores of shelter dogs ( & cats). As Michael continued to work in animal welfare he increasingly realized that the crisis shelters across the country have found themselves in cannot be remedied by adoption alone. There is simply more animals in need of safe, loving homes than there are adopters able & willing to provide those homes. Spay & Neuter initiatives have to be at the forefront of the solution. Adoption from shelters needs to be the first thing people think about when they seek to add a pet to their family or a lifetime companion for themselves. Education is key. People cannot do better unless they know better.
