Registered Charity number CC60695
Pound Paws Rescue is run by a small team of dedicated volunteers. We are totally self-funded and rely on our own fundraising efforts and donations from the public. All of our dogs are housed in foster care (we do not have a kennel facility). We are mainly based around North Otago/South Canterbury but take in dogs from further afield. We have foster carers from Southland to North Canterbury. Our rescues are dogs of all ages from all types of desperate situations, from unwanted farm/pig dogs, dogs surrendered to Vet clinics for euthanasia, pound and community dogs. We are often their last hope. Many are needing expensive veterinary treatment – dental extractions, arthritis treatment, x-rays, fracture repairs, heart medication, bloods, behavioural support, special diets. We are strong advocates of spay/neuter and we offer assistance to struggling pet owners.
Foster Homes Needed
You may shed a few tears when the time comes to say goodbye, but it is such a rewarding experience and there is always another one awaiting your help.
We are always on the lookout for good dog experienced, sensible and reliable foster homes that have the time and patience to settle in a new dog. Someone home during part of the day is ideal. A safe/secure containment area is a must. Your own transport is needed for any vet appointments.
We supply food, blankets, crate, vet care, and support. Please email us, poundpawhelp@gmail.com
