Help Save The Hound Dog Hot Dog Shop – A Sun Valley Staple for 45 Years

Dear Friends, Neighbors, and Loyal Customers,

For 45 years, The Hound Dog Hot Dog Shop has been more than just a place to grab a bite on Glenoaks Boulevard—it’s been a staple of the Sun Valley community. Generations of local families, workers, and longtime neighbors have walked through our doors for classic comfort food, good vibes, and warm conversation.

The Urgent Situation

Recently, the owners were hit with unexpected and devastating news: their landlord served them with a 60-day notice to quit. After nearly five decades of serving this community, they are facing the real risk of having to close their doors permanently if they cannot navigate this immediate transition.

We the customers and friends of The Hound Dog are actively working on every possible avenue to keep the business alive—whether that means helping them resolve their tenure at their current location, securing legal assistance, or securing a new local spot in the Sun Valley area to relocate without losing the spirit of The Hound Dog.

How Your Support Will Be Used

Moving fast is critical, and we cannot do this alone. Every dollar raised through this campaign will go directly toward:

Legal & Advisory Support: Retaining counsel to evaluate their rights and navigate the lease/notice terms.

Relocation Costs (if required): Deposit, permits, moving equipment, and setting up a new local spot in or near Sun Valley.

How You Can Help

Donate: Any amount—big or small—helps them stand strong during this 60-day window.

Share: Please share this GoFundMe on Facebook, Nextdoor, Instagram, and with friends, family, and local San Fernando Valley community groups.

Stop By: Come visit at 8749 Glenoaks Blvd while they are still open, order your favorite snappy dog, and show your support!

The Hound Dog has fed and cared for Sun Valley for 45 years. With your help, we hope to keep this local tradition alive for many more years to come.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your love, loyalty, and support.

With deep gratitude,

Community Supporters & The Hound Dog Family
