Early in 2011, we did have to notify you that we were low on funds and could not accept applications for help. But since then we have received two grants and we are back! In fact, we want to spend this money helping dogs and we need you to apply!

ACOs-If you have a dog in need, contact PoundHounds NOW for help with funding! We have funding available for spay/neuter surgeries and other medical care. We are especially interested in helping ACOs who have little or no funds for this kind of care and/or have limited fundraising capabilities but who do adopt out dogs themselves

Providing Over a Decade of Support to ACOs

PoundHounds, Inc., is a Massachusetts-based, non-profit organization. PoundHounds serves a unique need in the animal welfare community. No other organization is focused on providing direct, grassroots support to Animal Control Officers. For over a decade, we have worked closely with ACOs to provide funding for extraordinary medical care and spaying/neutering.

Depending on funding available, we have also helped ACOs by buying Kuranda beds for town pounds and sponsoring training for dogs. In addition, we will also post your dogs on our web site and Petfinder (we require good photos and a description of the dog, which we can help write).

If you would like to participate in the program, please fill out this application.

If you are already working with PoundHounds, you can download a spay/neuter request form or medical funding request form.

Animal Control officers can contact June @ 413-441-8503 for questions regarding the program.
