Safe and Sound - Saving Pound Dogs

2 Comments

Safe and Sound logoLast year, around 8,000 healthy dogs were killed in the UK. They died afraid and alone - unclaimed strays, tossed aside like unwanted toys.

By law, local authorities are obliged to keep stray dogs for just 7 days. After this time, if a dog is unclaimed and no safe place can be found for them, they may be destroyed.

This is where Safe and Sound comes in...

Safe and Sound is a UK Registered Charity (no. 1152935) working to save the lives of pound dogs (also known as 'poundies'). As unclaimed or abandoned strays, these precious poundies face destruction.

Working in conjunction with local authorities, private boarding kennels and other rescue organisations, Safe and Sound gives death row dogs the chance to be much loved family pets once again.

Help the Poundies

Safe and Sound are inundated with requests to save poundies in dire straits… dogs that will die unless they do something. Their running costs are currently around £3,500 per month, sometimes more. The number of dogs needing their help continues to grow.

“It is truly heart breaking saying "No", but without more funds, we simply cannot help every dog that needs us.”
