Our mission is to raise funds for privately owned Italian Greyhound rescue organizations to help defray medical costs of the senior foster dogs in their care. We supply food and other necessities when needed, assist in transport & fostering arrangement and promote adoption. We also maintain a database of resources and volunteers across the US.
Silver Hounds Message Board - Please join us in helping the seniors! Our board is friendly and lightly moderated and mainly focuses on rescue. http://silverhounds.proboards81.com/
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. H.Mastromatto 2007

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. We are NOT a rescue or adoption group, but more of an assistance program for older IGs in foster care. We do occasionally foster when possible. 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.
