What We Do
Precious Poundies works in conjunction with a council pound in Yorkshire.
We find dog rescues to take the dogs on so that they can be rehomed responsibly from there. All the rescues we use must meet the following criteria:
- Must Neuter
- Must Homecheck
- Must Vaccinate
- Must Worm
- Must Microchip
- Must offer lifetime back up
- Must have a non-destruct policy.
Lifetime back up is if it isn’t working out in the new home then the dog will be accepted back to the rescue, or advice with care or behavioural/health issues will be offered, or any other support needed by the new owners. This is to prevent the dogs ending back in the situation we have just got them out of.
If Precious Poundies are unable to help these dogs they would be destroyed. Lots of stray dogs are continually bought into the pound, which when full, has to make room for the new strays.
The majority of the rescues we use are not based near the pound so they are unable to collect the dogs. In this situation Precious Poundies will organise transport for the dog to it’s rescue space. We send our dogs to rescues which are based in Scotland all the way down to rescues in Devon, London and Hampshire. To do this we rely heavily on transport volunteers to help us. Some of the runs take a bit of organising because sometimes it will be split into 4 or 5 legs and a lot of co-ordination (along with a little bit of luck and a following wind) is needed.
