PoundHounds


Thanks for all your generosity! Update on Fundraiser coming soon In the mean time thanks to you we can say WE EXCEEDED our $5k goal for a $5k Match You can always donate by clicking on our Donate button below.
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 Donors: PoundHounds has helped over 1,000 dogs in town pounds, providing badly needed funds to Animal Control Officers for everything from emergency surgery to training to Kuranda beds to basic medical care. Because of the economy, fundraising has been declining over the last three years, while the requests for help keep pouring in. We need your help more than ever.

PoundHounds is proud to help invisible dogs in town pounds and shelters find their forever homes. Please check out these wonderful dogs that we are trying to make more visible, so their people (and we know you're out there somewhere) can find them and fall in love. At the end of each dog description, you will find the contact person for each dog. Please consider adopting an older dog. So many more are being abandoned by the side of the road and left to fend for themselves. Sometimes people take dogs to be euthanized because they can't afford to keep them, or their landlord won't let them have a dog. These dogs may be a little traumatized and need some TLC, but they are often wonderful, loyal, and loving dogs. Thank you for reading their stories and helping to spread the word. To see more dogs, please visit our Dogs in Need page.
	At approximately 8 years old, Clint, a Labrador Retriever/Boxer is a love! He has LOTS of energy and would love a large fenced yard and a person who will play with him. He loves to play with toys and his favorite are tennis balls and squeaky toys! Clint also likes to play in water. Clint needs an active person/family -- one who will include him in lots of activities. He loves to play in and out of water and go for walks. He would be an excellent walking/jogging/hiking partner. He is a friendly guy, but sometimes unsure of new people at first. He needs time to get to know new people. SLOW introductions are a must! Clint may prefer to be the only pet. He has been waiting for a long time for a new home and family -- he deserves to be the sole recipient of all your love and attention. We recommend older children. Clint is housebroken, but could benefit from obedience training. Clint is neutered and up-to-date on his routine shots. UPDATE 4/9: Jo-Ann Laughlin of Silver City Canine Training has offered FREE OBEDIENCE CLASSES for the person/family who adopts Clint! *SPECIAL UPDATE: A wonderful woman named Helen, has offered to reimburse $100.00 towards the adoption fee for Clint!* If you'd like to find out more about this wonderful dog, please contact the Taunton Animal Shelter at 508-822-1463 or email at paws4blue@aol.com.
Clint Running with my toy. I love my toys! It's Santa-Clint! Dressed up for Halloween. Aren't I handsome? Look at that smile! Look how nicely I sit. Do you have a treat for me?
	Riley is a handsome 1-2 year old Great Pyrnees/Labrador Retriever mix. He is very personable and funny. Riley requires at least 2 hours daily of vigorous exercise. He loves to take long walks and hikes in the woods. He does well with confident cats and gets along well with the other dogs at his doggie day care program. He loves to lay on his back in your lap with a big goofy expression on his face and have his belly scratched. Riley is excellent with children and would do well in any active household. For more information and to meet this wonderful dog, please contact Stephanie at C.A.R.E. Center for Animal Rescue & Education in New Bedford, MA at stephdemello@comcast.net.
Riley Look at my smile -- aren't I cute? Pat me there! I love playing outside!
