Silver Hounds is a support and assistance program for older IGs who are looking for their forever homes.
Senior dogs normally have higher medical bills due to the fact that many of them need dental work, lump removal and other geriatric testing, as well as special food and medications. That's where Silver Hounds can help, raising funds for these wonderful old dogs.
We are also a temporary sanctuary for any IG in need in the state of AZ. We currently have several dogs for adoption in the Flagstaff area.
We maintain an database for fostering and transport across the country and work with shelters and small rescue groups to get the dogs into loving homes.
Please contact us if you have or know of a senior IG who needs assistance or if you would like to volunteer. We need volunteers in every state to carry on our mission.
Visit our Meet the Dogs page to see who is waiting for their forever home!

Silver Hounds' inspiration Speedo went to the Rainbow Bridge on October 13, 2008 after a very brief illness.
He will be missed forever.
Old Dog, for Speedo
A senior dog is always there come sunny days or rain,
Their gentle ways through lazy days are sometimes filled with pain.
With cloudy eyes and toothless smiles they shower you with care,
Grateful, Quiet, Meek and Mild, Peaceful, Kind & Fair.
They teach us all how we should be, not afraid to live and love
For someday soon they'll leave us and we'll know from up above....
Their guidance will embrace us and they'll lead us on you see,
For another senior needs us....it's just how it should be.
