All Dogs Welcome: How Hounds Town Fort Lauderdale is Fighting Breed Discrimination in Pet Care

September 03, 20253 min read

Every Dog Deserves Love (Yes, Even the "Scary" Ones)

At Hounds Town Fort Lauderdale, we live by the motto "We do it for the dogs" and believe every pup deserves love, care, and attention. That's why we proudly have a strict no-breed hate policy. Our mission is to give every dog a safe, welcoming, and accepting environment, no matter their breed, size, or background.

We Don't Judge Dogs by Their Looks

Sadly, many pet care places unfairly turn away dogs based on breed stereotypes. They label breeds like Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, or German Shepherds as "dangerous." This makes it super hard for many loving owners to find reliable daycare or boarding.

At Hounds Town Fort Lauderdale, we do things totally differently. We know every dog is unique, and behavior is based on personality, not breed. That's why we welcome all dogs who pass our simple temperament check. We make sure they get placed in a pack that matches their play style and energy level.

Your "dangerous" pit bull might be the sweetest couch potato ever. We get that.

How Dogs Get Evaluated at Hounds Town Fort Lauderdale

On your pup's first day of doggy daycare, they'll go through a quick evaluation to see where they fit best. Here's what happens:

A team member introduces your pup to one of our calm "resident dogs" • We watch their comfort level and reaction
• If they're a little shy, that's totally okay, we don't reject dogs just because they're nervous at first

Many shy or anxious dogs quickly build confidence in our play groups. Our pack environment helps them learn better social skills and feel more comfortable around other dogs.

What About Dogs with Special Needs?

Every dog deserves friends, and dogs with disabilities are no exception. At Hounds Town Fort Lauderdale, our experienced staff makes sure that dogs with mobility issues, medical conditions, or unique needs get placed in groups where they'll do amazing. Even if they start out just watching, the chance to socialize gives them brain workouts and stops isolation.

Three-legged dogs, blind dogs, deaf dogs, they all deserve to have fun too.

Why Our Approach Actually Matters

Doggy daycare at Hounds Town Fort Lauderdale isn't just about play — it's about creating a place where every dog can:

• Build confidence and self-esteem

• Get daily exercise and activity

• Make friends in a safe, supervised setting

• Feel accepted no matter their breed or background

When your pup spends the day with us, you'll pick up a happy, tired, and well-adjusted dog ready for snuggles at home.

Every Dog Has a Story

That "aggressive" rescue might just need patience and the right friends. That "hyperactive" puppy might just need an outlet for their energy. That senior dog everyone else calls "too old" might just need gentle companionship.

We see the dog, not the label.
