North Otago/South Canterbury region. Take in dogs from further afield, from all types of desperate situations. We are often their last hope. Many are needing extensive veterinary treatment – dental extractions, arthritis treatment, x-rays, fracture repairs, heart medication, bloods, behavioural support, special diets. We advocate for spay/neuter programs and assist struggling pet owners.

Self funded and rely on our own fundraising efforts and donations from the public.

Registered Charitable Trust number CC60695

Adopted! (Fig's arrival photo is pictured at the top of our page)  3 August 2026

💓 Our very special girl, Fig, has been settled in her forever home for a few weeks now. We are so happy for her! Here is an update:

"Gosh, it's so hard to put into words what adopting wee Fig has done for us!

Fig has settled in beautifully, and we can't imagine home without her. She is a cuddly, cheeky ray of sunshine, and we love watching her grow and experience the world.

Fig is a joy to be around, and her bubbly personality really shines when meeting other people, dogs and especially kids. We have discovered that her arch nemeses are the hoover and the lawnmower - but she is coming around with lots of encouragement, love and treats.

Huge thanks to Pound Paws for bringing us together, we're honoured to call Fig our best girl, and we make sure to tell her every day." ❤️

Thank YOU for adopting!! ✨️🐾

Thanks so much to everyone that so kindly supported Fig's medical costs. They were big, she went through so much, but we got there! Thank you very much to foster Mum Megan for all of your dedication, care and help in making the big decisions throughout Fig's critical stages and recovery! And thanks to Toni and Bruce for fostering her until we found her forever home! 🌟❣️🌟
