TEAM POUNDIE 

UK Pounds have 7 days legally to find the owners of dogs, once that time is up the dogs can be put to sleep. We help find rescue spaces and support the rescues so that homes can be found. We support dogs needing emergency help if owners cannot look after them, short or long term, transport dogs to safety and provide end of life care. We run a neuter campaign reducing the number of unwanted dogs
