## Story

HUNTSVILLE, Ala.– Pets and their owners throughout Huntsville are in for a treat with the upcoming opening of Hounds Town USA's latest location. Owned and operated by local entrepreneur Mary Hoy, the new facility will officially open its doors on June 21.

With a decades-long career as a senior corporate accountant and accounting manager in international travel and electronics, Hoy’s transition from corporate America to entrepreneurship is driven by a desire to create something of her own. A lifelong dog lover and proud pet parent to two rescued pups, Mary was drawn their natural pack play and a low-stress environment.

“I’ve always been a dog owner, but I noticed the lack of quality daycare and boarding options in my area,” said Hoy. “It was clear my next steps were to take action and open a space the community could rely on. After meeting with the Hounds Town team, I knew the brand would be perfect for Huntsville.”

Hoy will be handling daily operations on-site, ensuring every dog receives personalized care in an engaging environment. To celebrate their entrance into the community, a Grand Opening Event is scheduled for next month.

“A need for trusted pet care that puts pups first has gained more recognition in recent years,” said Hounds Town USA CEO Rob Flannagan. “We’re honored to invite Mary into the pack. Her love for dogs and experience make her the perfect candidate to spearhead the brand’s into Alabama."

Hounds Town services include interactive dog daycare, pet boarding, and stress-free spa services. Overseen by a well-trained staff, dogs are able to play all day, providing both physical and mental stimulation, with a group of dogs that match their size and temperament for safe and fun socialization— guaranteeing a Hounds Town Hangover when pets go home. Hounds Town has a no-breed discrimination policy, making it easier for all pet owners to find reliable care.
