ABOUT US
Sandhills Pet Resort
Willard & Claire
Rhodes, Founders
We are very proud of our
Sandhills Pet Resort facility and
the services we provide. We extend a warm welcome to you and your
pet to become part of our extended family. The Sandhills Pet
Resort provides quality and luxury with safety, welfare and
happiness above all else! Sandhills Pet Resort was
founded by Willard & Claire Rhodes. Willard, always an animal lover and
longtime horseman, turned his love for animals into a
business. Armed with an idea and vision, Willard has built a roughly
6,700 square foot building that houses the Sandhills Pet
Resort. From start to finish, Willard maintained his vision of
a deluxe accommodation just for pets. With his love for animals in
mind, he has created a resort that is
truly first class.
Willard’s love for
animals contributed to his efforts to help Companion Animal Clinic Foundation find a place for an affordable spay/neuter clinic with the Spay Neuter Veterinary Clinic of the Sandhills located next door to the Sandhills Pet Resort. Willard & Claire Rhodes supported CAC efforts to open an affordable Spay Neuter Clinic by donating a building lease free for seven years with renewable terms. Through fundraising, the CAC Foundation refitted the building as the Spay Neuter Veterinary Clinic of the Sandhills. Since opening in 2008 the SNVC has provided over 12,000 spay neuter operations for individuals that do not have a private veterinarian and animal welfare groups. Sandhills
Pet Resort offers assistance to the Spay Neuter Veterinary Clinic when needed.
Willard & Claire currently live
in Southern Pines, North Carolina with their horses and two dogs. O’Rion is
Willard’s dog that was rescued from the local shelter and Cassie is
Claire’s Airedale. In addition to their dogs, Willard continues to drive
his horses while Claire rides for pleasure.
