Silverwalk Sanctuary fosters, re-homes and rescues Beagles, other hounds and senior dogs. All dogs are spayed/neutered and up to date on shots before adoption. Please look at our dogs to adopt. We would like to save more, but are currently at capacity. You will be blessed.

Owner surrenders are asked to financially support I look forward to helping you adopt
their former dogs until adoption occurs.
one of my wonderful dogs or directing you to my links or contacts

Please see Raggedy Ann, Elvis, and others
who are waiting at the Rainbow Bridge under Happy Tails/RIP.
Because I also have senior dogs,
we must acknowledge that death is a part of life.
I know these dogs had a loving home for the last months/years of their lives.
All dogs adopted from Silverwalk will be neutered or spayed prior to adoption - there is no exception.
Please EMAIL & REQUEST an adoption form. An online form is in progress....
Please check out this campaign link before you decide to get a dog: www.dontgetadog.com
There will be a binding adoption contract to be signed and an adoption fee of $150-$300 cash paid at the time you receive your dog.
References are available from adopters - please ask.
Please check out this video for a humorous yet very serious plea to spay and neuter your pet: HELP! Cat Music Video
Vet, personal references and a home visit are necessary prior to adoption.
The goal is for both the dog and the adopter to be very happy for a very long time.
This fee in no way covers the cost of caring for a dog till adoption
but is meant to indicate how seriously Silverwalk values life.
It also helps support those dogs who are not sponsored.
Limited transport help is available.

Silverwalk dogs will appreciate any donations of cash, blankets, dog food, dog beds, laundry detergent, crates,
anything that may make a dog's life more comfortable as he awaits his forever home.

8/09 - Silverwalk now has three! dogs w/their CGCs (Canine Good Citizenship certification through an AKC program) - one is Spanky, my own dog and the second is Lady Bird, a foster for Marion PAWS in Marion, AR, the third is Shiloh, Beagle who will be testing in October for the Pet Pal program. Dogs who earn this title pass a rigorous test of their obedience and reactivity to everyday situations. Of the eight dogs tested this evening, all but one passed. A local trainer w/a very reputable AKC/CGC plus other titles certifier are especially helping dogs in shelters work for and earn their CGC - which, of course, is very attractive to potential adopters. Silverwalk currently has plans for two more dogs to go through class.

5/16/09 - Did you notice the name change? Silverwalk has been looking for a logo for a long time. Those submitted kept using "Beagle & Hound" instead of "Hounds Dog" which make more sense, actually, and does better spell out what we are about...
we will still answer to both names, though! Want to give the dogs every chance possible :).
"Silverwalk Beagle & Hound Sanctuary" - has a nice ring; well, Spanky doesn't think so but she is not looking for a new home!
4/19/09 - WOW - too much has been happening and I have not kept you all up to date! Do keep checking the blog; watch KFVS especially starting 4/23 as Silverwalk Hounds will be a featured segment! I am not yet sure of the exact date. Our dog walkers are now here 2 days a week, which the dogs LOVE! We are in the process of applying for our tax exempt status - makes me very nervous and very excited at the same time! One foster home will be ready to take in dogs in June; Courtney has already been giving me "dog free time" each Sunday by coming in and feeding for me - thanks, Courtney! PLEASE take to heart the gratitude expressed in the opening thanks to adopters and volunteers. These dogs could not be saved without you :).

Spanky when found (9/25/08).
Always be vigilant for child/animal abuse. Abusers of animals statistically grow up to be abusers of children &/or adults :(.
"Think about this for a moment!" These dogs followed total strangers....
Spanky today 11/08!
