Pound Paws Rescue

We are 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.

We are mainly based around North Otago/South Canterbury but take in dogs from further afield. Our rescues are of all ages, from all types of desperate situations. This includes dogs from the community, farms, dogs surrendered to Vet clinics for euthanasia and pound dogs. Many are needing extensive veterinary treatment.

We also provide assistance in the community with de-sexing, re-homing, food parcels and education.
