Who we are Pound Puppy Rescue is a 501(c)3 nonprofit founded in 2001. We rescue approximately 200 puppies every year. We are a completely volunteer run organization whose purpose is to keep puppies out of overcrowded shelters where they are at risk for disease and euthanasia. Puppies are fostered in volunteer foster homes where we can keep the puppies healthy, socialized, and in their litter until they are old enough to be placed in permanent, loving homes. All the puppies we rescue come to us looking for love and a "forever" home. Our hope is that all puppies placed through our organization will never experience being homeless or unloved again.
Thank you for considering adopting a rescue puppy!

A Story of "Hope" - Please Help! A broken pelvis, two broken legs and a hernia can't break Hope's spirit!
Hope came to us from the Tulare County Animal Shelter on January 14th, 2010. Unbeknownst to us when we agreed to take her, she was in a dire medical state.
The doctors assume she was hit by a car while a stray. To make matters worse, she got pregnant and delivered 5 babies with her severe injuries: a broken pelvis,
two broken legs and a hernia. In this 1st picture you can see how crooked she was when we first got her. The date of birth of the puppies is estimated at around
Christmas Day 2009. A good Samaritan found her and her pups and brought them all to the shelter. It is an absolute miracle that she has survived thus far,
especially considering she also survived distemper as a puppy (the vets can tell this somehow). Unfortunately, her sweet babies are not so lucky. They also
came to us sick and three have died from distemper. The fourth one has just crashed and will likely be gone soon too. We were told Hope was going to die if
we didn't have her hernia repaired so Pound Puppy Rescue paid almost $5500 for that surgery. She still needs one of her legs repaired (the other healed
on its own and should be okay) as well as hip replacement. We really need your help because the remaining surgeries will likely cost $5000 or more.
Since Hope is now a Pound Puppy Rescue dog we are dedicated to making her well. Despite all her hardship -- being homeless, severely injured and raising
puppies all alone -- she is the most wonderful, sweet, loving dog you will ever meet. A true testament to how amazing dogs can be. We "Hope" you can help by donating today!
Please write in the comments on your check or online donation "For Hope" so we know how to direct the funds. Thank you for the love and support!
