Oamaru, Otago

Based around North Otago/South Canterbury but take in dogs from further afield. Rescue dogs of all ages from all types of desperate situations - unwanted farm/pig dogs, dogs surrendered to Vet clinics for euthanasia, pound and community dogs. We are often their last hope. Many are needing expensive veterinary treatment – dental extractions, arthritis treatment, x-rays, fracture repairs, heart medication, bloods, behavioural support, special diets. We are strong advocates of spay/neuter and we offer assistance to struggling pet owners.

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

Registered Charitable Trust number CC60695

I absolutely love dogs but after losing two of my own to old age I am still struggling with adapting to another one. So sorry but I would like to donate $25.00 a month, it's not a lot but I hope it helps.

Happy to support such a great cause. Our wee boy Woby, formerly known as Spud, was looked after by Pound Paws Rescue before joining our family. He is a delightful lad, and he makes us laugh every day!
