Summerveld Hound Resort Dog Rescue Sanctuary
What does your company do?
At Summerveld Hound Resort Dog Rescue Sanctuary, we are committed to rescuing, rehabilitating, and providing a permanent, loving home for abused, abandoned, and stray dogs. As a registered non-profit and public benefit organization, we believe every dog deserves a second chance at life. Our sanctuary is a safe haven where nearly 100 dogs, including special needs and senior dogs, are cared for with compassion, medical support, and daily enrichment. We are a pro-life sanctuary, meaning we do not euthanize healthy or treatable animals. Each dog in our care becomes a permanent resident, living out their days in a secure, nurturing environment.
What is your biggest success?
Our sanctuary has rescued and rehabilitated dogs that many considered beyond help. Being able to offer those animals a life free from pain and fear has been my greatest achievement.
What has been your biggest hurdle?
Our biggest hurdle has been securing consistent funding to sustain the high level of care our dogs deserve. As a pro-life sanctuary that does not rehome, we are responsible for the lifelong medical, nutritional, and emotional needs of nearly 100 dogs. Balancing rising veterinary costs, food expenses, and operational needs without guaranteed monthly income has been challenging. Despite these obstacles, we remain committed to our mission, relying heavily on donations, sponsorships, and community support. Each day, we overcome financial uncertainty with creativity, resilience, and an unwavering belief that every dog’s life is worth fighting for.
