Supporting HOP

House of Puddles is a 501(c)(3) organization. Your contribution is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. The majority of our funding comes from individual donations and our bi-annual raffles. Except for the lucky few who get adopted, we care for our senior hounds for the rest of their lives. 

Our greatest expenses are for veterinary care and medication. Many of the hounds we take in have been neglected for a long time.  They need vaccinations, dental procedures, and blood tests. Many need to be spayed or neutered and we often get dogs infected with heartworms.  Other health issues needing immediate treatment include eye, ear, and urinary tract infections, and intestinal worms. Ongoing health concerns include such things as heart and kidney disease, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, and glaucoma.

This is why their lives and comfort depend on your help.

Fundraisers

We have several ways for you to help support our hounds that will fit any budget.

We pour all our funds into caring for our seniors and they always need replenishing.

Retirees past & present

Our seniors retire in any one of several foster homes.  Our founding home in Frederick, MD is home to the most, usually 16-18 hounds at any time.  They enjoy a roomy house on three acres with a large fenced-in area.  Our next biggest foster home with room enough for 8-10 hounds is in Abingdon, VA, also located out in farm country.
