The Hideaway Kennels

A new approach to animal control

For years the communities of Westmoreland County have had limited choices for animal control services. The Hideaway Kennels is a business located in Irwin that offers a licensed and insured K2 Kennel facility for stray holds and Animal Control services.

The Hideaway Kennels was founded in December of 2019 by Maria Martin, who is an appointed Animal Control Officer of the Law. Before its founding, Mrs. Martin successfully established the animal rescue TJ’s Rescue Hideaway a 501(c)(3) non-profit that she led for over five years. More recently, Mrs. Martin has focused on building the 501(c)(3) non-profit People’s Animal Care and Control (PACC) with partners who are experienced in, and passionate about, animal rescue.

As an establishment with deep roots in animal rescue we take a new approach to Animal Control and firmly believe that every life deserves an opportunity to flourish. We believe in taking action to help animals in need and with the direct support of our sister company, PACC, we make every attempt possible to ensure animals are reunited with their owners or adopted.
