Saving Hounds & Finding Homes
Our Vision
At House of Hounds USA, we believe every dog deserves love, care, and a second chance—especially the majestic Saluki. With centuries of history and cultural significance, these noble creatures are more than just dogs; they are a living heritage. Our mission is to bridge borders, rescue lives, and preserve the deep-rooted legacy of sighthounds, particularly Salukis, in the UAE while fostering meaningful connections in the USA.

What Drives Us
Our Mission
House of Hounds USA is dedicated to rescuing sighthounds, particularly Salukis, in the UAE, honoring and preserving the proud heritage of these noble creatures. Our mission extends beyond borders as we aim to facilitate a cultural exchange that celebrates shared values between the UAE and the USA.
With a focus on compassion and respect for all beings, we provide sanctuary and care for these majestic dogs, fostering bonds that transcend geographical boundaries. Through our efforts, we strive to honor the rich heritage of the Saluki while promoting unity and understanding between nations, one rescue at a time.
Our Story
Rescuing Noble Souls
The story of House of Hounds USA began with a deep respect for the Saluki and the culture that reveres it. Known as “the royal dogs of Arabia,” Salukis have been companions to the Bedouin people for thousands of years, embodying grace, speed, and loyalty.
Yet, in recent years, many of these noble dogs have found themselves abandoned, injured, or in need of care. Witnessing this growing need in the UAE, our founders took action. What began as a mission to rescue Salukis locally has blossomed into a global bridge of compassion—bringing Salukis to safe, loving homes in the USA while celebrating their cultural significance.
From the sands of the UAE to homes across the USA, we are committed to creating a world where heritage is honored, lives are saved, and connections are made.
