Karen has saved so many lives over the years. When you speak with her you can instantly tell how invested she is with each and every dog and it is inspiring. I commend her strong will to keep going even in the face of tragedy.

Safe Hounds Beagles is truly a godsend.

I have adopted two beagles from Safe Hounds Beagle Rescue and Karen Philhower. She goes above and beyond the adoption process, including two home visits to make sure family and dogs are a good fit. The first was to access the safety of my house and yard for our new furry addition, especially since beagles are masters of escape. The second visit was to meet our new dog at a meet and greet with the family. I have had my beagles now for over 8 years--I adopted a second six months after the first one-- and Karen is always there with advice in case I run into any health or behavior issues with either of them. I am so thankful I chose Safe Hounds to find my furever friends. Karen is amazing and her organization deserves the highest of praise and support. Thank you.

I was first introduced to Safe Hounds Beagle Rescue by friends who had adopted a beagle from them. I contacted them to adopt an older beagle since I had raised three beagles from puppies and wanted to avoid that stage. I found the process to be wonderful! Safe Hounds is very concerned about the "adoptive parents". They called my references and visited my home. I adopted a wonderful 6 year old beagle who is now 13! I would definitely recommend Safe Hounds Beagle Rescue to anyone interested in adopting a hound!

My wife and I were hoping to find a beagle for adoption to love and share our home with. We found Safe Hounds Beagle Rescue when looking at the available beagles for adoption online at Petfinder. We looked at Safe Hounds Beagle Rescue's website and saw pictures of two beagle mix dogs, one named Emily and the other Francesca. We immediately filled out an application. We were contacted by Karen Philhower at Safe Hounds Beagle Rescue and set up a place to meet her with both dogs. We were introduced to Francesca and Emily separately and spent time with them. It was difficult to decide between the two dogs because they are both really lovable dogs, but we decided to adopt Emily. We came home with Emily (now named Maddie) along with a wonderful starter kit from Karen containing DVDs on dog training, her micro-chip, a heart worm pill, health records, vacination records, lots of literature, just to name a few things. Karen has always been available to us whenever we have a question, and we have kept in touch by phone and email. It is obvious to us that she really loves and gives wonderful care to the animals she rescues. We absolutely love Maddie (Emily). She is the sweetest and most loving dog you could ever meet. And she really makes us laugh. Thank you Karen Philhower and Safe Hounds Beagle Rescue for making our lives complete. Ian and Pat Goodman
