A Small Family-Run Retreat Specialising in Sighthounds

​

Hounds Retreat was inspired by my own rescue greyhounds and my experience working in dog rescue, rehoming and licensed boarding kennels. Every one of my hounds has had different needs, and I know how difficult it can be to find the right kind of care and support. Seeing my ex-racing greyhounds adapt from kennel life to home life has shown me just how important patience, understanding and individual care really are.

That's why I created Hounds Retreat—a place where Sightounds receive the care, enrichment and understanding they need, at their own pace and in their own way. My goal is for Hounds Retreat to be more than just a retreat for Sighthounds away from the busy world; I also want it to be a place where owners feel supported, reassured and confident that their hound is receiving the very best care.
