Is this the Australian pound of the future?

 

 

Imagine if we could offer every healthy, treatable pet a second chance?

• Through pet retention programs, pounds reduce the number of people who surrender their animals by helping solve their common pet problems.
   
• Through their proactive efforts to get strays home, pounds triple the percentage of dogs and increase seven-fold the percentage of cats being reclaimed by their families.
   
• Through their trap, desex and release program, many feral cats don’t come into the pound. Through a barn cat program, when they do, they go into barn homes.
   
• Through the pound's low cost desexing program, almost 70% of people with unsterilised animals get their animals altered.
   
• Through the pound's partnerships with rescue organisations, their volunteer foster parents, and medical and behavior rehabilitation programs, animals are moving expeditiously through the system and into the care of the community.
   
• And then, they turbocharge their adoption programs using PetRescue, local media and off-site adoption. For the animals who remain in the pound, they will adopt their way out of killing.

Then we will have achieved a No Kill community where every healthy, treatable pet gets a second chance.
