Celebrating World Animal Day 2025

Today, on World Animal Day, we celebrate all animals and reflect on how we can improve their welfare. Every action — whether learning, protecting, adopting, donating, or speaking up — helps make a difference. 🌱

At Hounds Retreat, we’re committed to supporting dog welfare through better care, continuous learning, and guidance for dogs and their families. We provide a calm, enriching environment for dogs who find the busy world challenging. From anxious or reactive dogs to seniors, newly adopted, ex-racing, or ex-working dogs adjusting to home life, we take the time to understand each one, move at their pace, and let them simply be dogs — enriching their day and supporting their wellbeing.

As Jane Goodall once said,

“What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.”

On this special day, let’s remember that even the smallest steps can make a huge impact 💚
