Local Entrepreneur Elevates Unique Pet Care Services Across the Garden State

FREEHOLD, N.J.– Tails will be wagging across Monmouth County with the upcoming opening of Hounds Town USA’s latest location in Freehold. Owned and operated by local entrepreneur John Paul Sciascia, the premier doggy daycare concept offers pets and their parents a unique dog boarding and daycare experience. Opening its doors on February 8, the new Hounds Town location is set to become the go-to destination for pet owners in the Monmouth County area.

Conveniently located at 2400 Route 9 South Howell, right in the heart of Howell, the new facility adds to the already impressive footprint of Hounds Town locations in the state. With six locations now open across New Jersey, including ones in South Jersey Shore, Old Bridge, Metuchen, Bergen, and Fairfield, the demand for a unique pet care experience is at an all-time high, and Hounds Town is eager to meet it.

“The Monmouth County region is growing rapidly, and there’s a deep need for extended pet care services, “said John Paul Sciascia. “Residents across the Freehold and Howell communities care deeply for their companions and I’m thrilled for my location to be a trusted source of pet care for them. The brand is unparalleled for its approach to dog boarding, and I’m thrilled to welcome guests and their furry companions into our doors.”

With John Paul having an extensive background in small business management and customer service, he’ll be managing the day-to-day operations alongside a team of other committed employees and is eager to connect with nearby shelters and pet-friendly community organizations in the area.

“John Paul is the perfect person to continue growing our brand in New Jersey, and we’re thrilled to welcome him into the Hounds Town system,’ said Hounds Town CEO Rob Flanagan. “The demand for our concept and what it offers to pets and their parents is at an all-time high. Freehold poses a clear need for our unique approach to pet care, and we’re confident that John Paul’s location will cater to the needs of dogs, across all sizes and breeds, throughout the area.”

Supervised 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. Further setting itself apart, Hounds Town has a no-breed discrimination policy, making it easier for all pet owners to find reliable care.
