“Columbia is such a vibrant community of dog lovers, and we’re excited to introduce a trusted and welcoming pet care option to the area,” said Jennifer Chappell, owner of Hounds Town Columbia. “What drew our family to Hounds Town is its truly inclusive approach—every dog is embraced here, no matter their size, breed, or background. Our goal is to give local pet parents peace of mind knowing their dogs are safe, happy, and cared for the moment they step through our doors.”

The entire team at the new facility is eager to connect with nearby shelters and community organizations in the area.

“Every new Hounds Town brings us closer to our 10-year goal of giving every dog in America a place to play, socialize, and belong. What makes Hounds Town different is our focus on real dogs, real play, and creating an environment where every pup feels welcome. Expanding into Columbia is another step on that journey, and we’re excited for families here to experience the difference. Jennifer and her family embody the passion and dedication that make Hounds Town so special, and I’m confident this location will be a thriving home for dogs and their owners alike.” — Rob Flanagan, CEO of Hounds Town USA
