PET ADOPTION

ADOPTION

BENEFITS OF ADOPTING AN ANIMAL FROM THE POUND

Buying your animal from the pound saves a life.
You can meet and get to know your animal at the pound
You will take home a new member of your family that will love you all unconditionally.

One of the main aims of Friends of the Pound (Tweed) Inc is to re-home our dogs and cats that have been left homeless. We have a never ending supply of new inmates. Many have been found roaming the streets while others have been surrendered by their former owners.

Just for fun

You can get a dog from the pound that has already been through the destructive and time consuming puppy stage. This can often be better with young children, to get an older dog that doesn't jump up, scratch or have sharp teeth. Many dogs have already had some training, and socialisation.

Many mixed breed dogs have less problems with their health than purebreds. Although we do get many purebred dogs in the pound as well.

A pound pet always seems to know that you have been their saviour, and can repay you tenfold with their loyalty.

DOGS AND PUPPIES

Merry Mutts, Fluff Balls, Gentle Giants, Workaholics, Desperate Co-dependents, Fitness Freaks, Old Gentleman, we have them all. I'm sure we have a dog to suit you. Everyone of the dogs that come into our care have their own special story. All of which are in need of a loving home and a second chance.

At the pound we meet puppies of all shapes, colours, hairstyles and sizes. The one thing they all have in common is the need for a loving and dedicated carer willing to make them an important member of their family.

CATS AND KITTENS

We have an amazing variety of cats brought into the pound. The beloved moggy is the most commonly available but we often have purebred members also. Russian Blues, Burmese, Manx as well as fluffy Persian crosses.

The Cat Care page offers information on toilet training, vaccinations, worming, flea control as well as what to expect when you take home your new cat.

A pound is no place for a kitten but every kitten season we are overwhelmed by what seems to be an endless amount of abandoned and surrendered kittens.
