🎉 Celebrating 25 Years of Rescue – Join Us!

This May, Friends of the Pound celebrates 25 incredible years of rescuing and rehoming animals in our community. What started as a small group of passionate volunteers has grown into a community-wide movement of love, care, and second chances.
To honour this milestone, we’re inviting all past and present adopters, volunteers, foster carers, and supporters to join us in the celebration!
📸 Help Us Tell the Story
We’re creating a special anniversary display and we’d love your help.
If you have:
- Photos or videos of adopted pets
- Posters or newspaper articles from past events

Please send them to us, marked “Attention: Cheryl Roberts” via email to friendsofthepound@gmail.com, or drop them in to our Adoption Centre at U17/39-41 Corporation Circuit, Tweed Heads South, so that we can include them in our celebration display.
