​The Hound House

​Our Senior and Special Needs Sanctuary For Greyhounds, Poedencos, Beagles and Mixes​

It began simply enough – with a dream.

After operating our greyhound adoption program for 10 years, our dream was to create a sanctuary for the special needs and senior hounds in our care. Those hounds who, in all likelihood, would never be adopted because of their advanced age or their extreme medical or behavioral issues.
​
​Why a Sanctuary? Because seniors and special needs dogs have always held our hearts in their paws. Because we learned early that they gave more to us than we could ever give back to them. Because they taught us about patience, kindness, and unconditional love. Because they taught us about grace and courage in the face of injury and illness, aging and agony. Because they taught us that no obstacle is insurmountable with applied effort and attitude adjustment, knowledge, insight and creativity.

In 2013, our dream came true. Thanks to retirement and savings accounts, a large, custom-designed home was built in the calm and seclusion of the countryside to accommodate both humans and dogs. Some of the unique features of the Sanctuary include non-slip rubber flooring (this is easy on the joints, waterproof, and warm during the winter), non-toxic paint and cleaning supplies, oversized bathing facilities, a reverse osmosis water purifier for the dogs’ water, orthopedic beds, blankets and pillows, few steps and ramps, and vast open spaces for freedom of movement.

​​Someone is with the dogs almost all day, every day, to tend to their varying needs. Most of them require extensive and costly veterinary care, including medications, and special diets, and the unadoptable dogs will spend the rest of their lives with us, in comfort and security, receiving all the love and attention they deserve.


Please read the stories of our Sanctuary dogs – Greyhounds, Podencos, Beagles and Mixes – on their dedicated pages. If you could contribute to their care, please consider making a donation in any amount. They, and we, would be most grateful.

Why We Need You!
WE are a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization under section 501(c)(3) of the IRS code, and all donations and mileage are tax deductible. One hundred percent of YOUR donation is used for the vetting, feeding and general well being of the animals in our care. We have no paid employees, and rely solely on donations and grants to help pay for the top quality food and nutritional supplements, veterinary services and on site equipment that allow our Sanctuary animals to live the happiest and healthiest lives possible. And NO animal is ever euthanized due to a lack of space or resources. 
​
There are several ways that you can help the Sanctuary Animals!
  1. Donate to the General Fund which will direct your donation to wherever the need is the greatest at the moment.
  2. Sponsor a specific animal in our Sanctuary.  Make a one-time or recurring donation to help with that animal’s food, medication and vet bills.  For details on each animal, check out their photos and biographies on their respective pages using the tabs at the top of this page.
