About HVL

This is only the beginning of so many more beginnings

We are a new and growing small business in southern IL! We have a long list of plans for demolitions, building and renovations ahead. Stay tuned for changes and new growth within the facility!

Our Mission is to provide a clean, safe, and transparent space for dogs and their human companions alike.

At Hound Valley lodge, your animals well being is our priority. We do not use any bleach to clean areas where animals will be housed. We use cleaning solutions such as Kennelsol, Simple Green, and Rescue as our primary disinfectant on site.

    Hi my name is Kyleigh! I am a K9 handler here at HVL. I have been working within the animal world for well over a year. I come from a long line of animal lovers. Growing up, I was surrounded by dogs, cats, horses, donkeys, pigs, chickens, bunnies and bearded dragons. I have a 2 year old black lab named Jaxson and a rescued street cat named Stevie Nicks. When I am not working, you can find me getting my nails done, spending time with friends, enjoying nature or watching one of my favorite shows. I love being a part of the team here at HVL!

  • Savannah H.

    Hi! My name is Savannah. I am the proud owner of Hound Valley Lodge LLC! I am so happy you are exploring this kennel space for your four legged family member.

    My husband, John, and I live on site, ensuring 24 hour surveillance and peace of mind while you are at work or taking a much deserved vacation.

    I sought to start this company with intentions of providing a higher standard for animal care. Animals have been a constant throughout my entire life. I am a Murray State Graduate with my degree in Veterinary Technology. I have over 10 years of in clinic experience as a licensed veterinary technician and veterinary assistant in both small and large animal medicine. I also have years of upper management experience working within kennels and training spaces. I currently have 4 dogs and 2 cats that are my kids. Family comes in many different forms and I firmly believe animals are the best kind to have around.

    Animal care is my specialty and I hope to provide a safe and clean space where your dog can be a dog.

    Hi my name Margaret! I am a k9 handler here at HVL. I have a little over 2 years of experience working with animals in both daycare/ boarding settings as well as within a grooming facility. I have 2 cattle dog mixes named Ross and Louis. However, I am a die hard cat lover and currently have 5 cats in my collection; Rangoon, Phyllys, Cal, Mitzy, and Gin. Outside of working, you can find me spending time with my crew of animals, reading a good book, or spending time with my mom in her flower garden. I am so excited to be a part of this kennel space!
