Nicola Coyle has always taken an interest in dogs, but after retiring as a nurse, she was able to put all her energy into supporting abandoned people in the last days of their lives. She founded Gray Muzzle Canine Hospice in Mansfield, England, to fill these dogs with love.
Nicola can’t stand the idea that dogs spend their last days in a shelter without the love they deserve, so she welcomes them. Any dog with six months or less to live or any dog on the euthanasia list is considered a candidate.
She’s created a bucket list for every dog she welcomes into her home, and that always includes a steak dinner at the local pub and a trip to the seaside! Nikola now takes care of two or three dogs at a time and arranges foster families for the others. Whatever time these dogs have left, Nicola is ready to make the most of it!
