Hund Haus Gives Strays a Second Chance- One Haircut at a Time
In the heart of Montoursville, Hund Haus is more than just a dog grooming boutique- it’ s a haven for the forgotten. Founded by Taylor, a 31-year-old single mom of three daughters, Hund Haus has quickly become known not only for quality grooming, but also for its commitment to compassion. Since opening its doors in May 2024, Taylor has groomed over 1,400 pets professionally- but it ' s the ones that few others would touch that truly set this business apart.
Hund Haus is home to the Pay-for-a-Stray charity program, a 100 % donation-funded effort that provides free grooming for stray, dumped, and newly rescued animals.“ When an animal comes in matted, filthy, or neglected, a simple groom can change everything. It helps them feel better, and it helps adopters see the pet underneath all that pain,” Taylor says. Inspired by a rescue named Charlie, this initiative is powered entirely by the generosity of donors through Venmo(@ hundhausllc).
In its first year, Pay-for-a-Stray has already transformed the lives of 11 rescue animals. Among them: Daffy and Peep, two puppies dumped along a road in Trout Run; Minnow, a pregnant Shih Tzu found abandoned in the same area; and Fluffernutter, a poodle mix left in a crate at Indian Park. Each one arrived in heartbreaking condition- overgrown coats, skin infections, fear in their eyes- but left looking and feeling like adoptable pets with real hope.
All of these grooms happen outside of business hours- before dawn or after the last client leaves.“ It’ s exhausting sometimes,” Taylor admits,“ but it’ s the kind of work that fills your heart. I started grooming in 2018, and opening my own shop was a dream. But helping animals like this? That’ s my purpose.”
Beyond the clippers and combs, Hund Haus is about community. Supporters donate through Venmo, and Taylor uses every dollar to provide quality grooming and comfort to animals with nowhere else to turn.“ People want to help- they just need a way to do it. This program gives them that.”
Whether you’ re a rescue in need, a future adopter, or someone who just wants to help an animal in need get a fresh start, Hund Haus is proof that kindness, grit, and a little grooming can go a long way.
