More than a Rescue
What we do...
Pound Dog Found Dog Rescue, Inc., a New Jersey Nonprofit Organization, is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) group of dedicated men and women formed and incorporated in 2016. After working within the rescue community for the past 15 years and collectively placing hundreds of dogs into adoptive homes, we have organized a small rescue targeting dogs who may be overlooked yet deserving of rescue. As a foster-based organization we have no physical facility and exist solely on the generosity of volunteers and foster families.
That was then…
This is now.
Our mission is to provide shelter and eventual permanent homes to dogs subject to cruelty, neglect, abuse and homelessness. When funding allows, we will target special needs dogs and those who require a little more time and care with our foster families. Our volunteers will assist a prospective adopter find the best companion for their lifestyle. We will also provide the community at large with counseling by way of animal welfare programs and other information media focusing on rescue, fostering, and adoption of a shelter dog.
Our rescued dogs are brought up to date on vaccinations, spayed or neutered, temperament tested with dogs, cats and children and then placed in pre-approved forever homes.
We See the Dog Behind the Story.
When a dog enters our rescue, we don't just ask, "How quickly can we get this dog adopted?"
We ask:
Who is this dog?
What makes them happy?
What makes them nervous?
What kind of environment helps them feel safe?
How do they interact with people?
How do they do with other animals?
What kind of family would bring out their best?
Our foster families give us the opportunity to answer those questions in a real home environment.
That insight helps us make thoughtful adoption matches—and gives each dog a better chance at a successful, lifelong home.
Rescue Takes a Community.
Pound Dog Found Dog doesn't operate from a traditional shelter.
Our rescue depends on a network of foster families, volunteers, adopters, donors and supporters who come together to help dogs in need.
Foster families open their homes.
Volunteers give their time.
Donors make veterinary care and everyday necessities possible.
Adopters open their hearts and make the commitment to provide a forever home.
Every person plays a part in the journey.
Be Part of Their Next Chapter.
From our home base in Barnegat, New Jersey, Pound Dog Found Dog works to give deserving dogs the care, attention and opportunity they need to move forward.
We're proud to be part of a community of people who believe that a dog's past shouldn't determine their future.
