Pound Paws is an Australian based registered charity.

It provides a modern online approach to the overall re-homing process for pets available for adoption in pound & rescue centres around Australia.

It is our mission to encourage the public to adopt instead of shop, reduce the amount of pets on death row per year, educate the Australian public about responsible pet ownership & create a positive movement for our furry friends.

In addition, the website is an online search engine which allows potential owners to search for pets by breed, age, lifestyle or size.Pound Paws provides its services to potential pet owners and pounds for no charge.

It is supported by volunteers, and sponsors and donations help fund its operations.

Pound Paws commenced in early 2014 as a desperate measure to help re-home animals that find themselves on death row each year.

​

Pound Paws is not only focused on re-homing these animals, but educating the public about death row and the importance of choosing to adopt. It is our mission to encourage the potential pet owners to adopt instead of shop, and break the stereotype that pounds are full of ‘reject’ pets.

Through raising awareness online, we hope to educate and inform the public, and hopefully reduce the euthanasia cycle.We are collaborating with pounds and rescue groups from all over Australia to provide you with the latest listings daily.
