Get a flavor for the fun over 1,000 people (and dogs!) had at Barktoberfest 2007!

It was a spectacular day and a record-breaking crowd – over 1,000 people joined us for Barktoberfest 2007. We raised over $15,000 (and counting) to help dogs in town pounds with medical care, spay/neuter, emergency surgeries, Kuranda beds, training, and other support.

There’s still time to Walk Fur Dogs (at left) by donating to a walker online, or by setting up your own walk for the pound dogs (do your walk in a local park with friends or just around your neighborhood).

The walk you take in the fall will help us provide badly needed services to pound dogs throughout the cold New England winter.

Click here to see more photos of Barktoberfest 2007, and please join us for Barktoberfest 2008. We’re not stopping until all pound dogs have access to quality care and a chance for a good home.

Thank you!

Although concrete is a common flooring for kennels because it is easy to clean and sanitize, it's terribly uncomfortable for the dogs to lay on. Even when mats or blankets are provided as beds, the floor is still hard and the cold from the concrete seeps through the mats. Some ACOs are able to provide plastic slats or wooden pallets, which help but still, it's an uncomfortable place to lie. Just imagine what a senior dog or one recovering from surgery must feel!

PoundHounds is on a mission to provide Kuranda Beds to every town pound in our program. Kuranda Beds are universally acclaimed to be one of the most comfortable yet durable dogs beds available. Please consider donating a bed to PoundHounds so we can provide pound dogs with the more comfortable beds they deserve. We got them off the street, now let's get them off the concrete!

A damaged heart doesn’t stop this little dog from Mattapoisett

PoundHounds is paying for the medical care for Toby, a 12-pound, 6 year old Lhasa mix in the care of Mattapoisett Animal Control. His medical bills, which include three heartworm treatments and surgery for a broken leg, are over $5,000. We haven’t given up on Toby because Toby hasn’t given up on life. This spunky little dog has beaten all the odds against him – can you help us with his medical care?
