Based in the West Midlands, Telford specifically, but with nationwide Trustees, we cover any part of the UK that we can help.

So what does Team Poundie do?

Well, we began humbly in 2018 with the mission to be an Animal Welfare Charity, to fight for the welfare of dogs primarily. A group of like-minded friends and family across the UK set up the charity and began to fund-raise and seek out dogs needing help. Dog Pounds – hence the name team ‘Poundie” was a good place to start, with so many healthy and happy dogs entering Pounds through no fault of their own.

As the years have progressed we became a trusted source for owners and rescuers to come to us for help directly and many times we have reduced the need for dogs to end up in the Pound. We provided funds, support, and if neccessary taken the dog under own wing where they have nowhere else to go.

Fast forward to today and we have grown and developed into a welfare and rescue and adoption charity

We hold a very extensive Charity Insurance which covers us for our rescue work, our charity shop and also for the rehoming of dogs directly.

When we rescue a dog, be it from a Pound; or an neglectful or unsafe situation; – or from an owner who can no longer care for the dog – then we aim to rehome them directly into a pre-checked suitable new home.

This is not alway possible as the dog may need treatment, assessment or we may not have a suitably matched home. In this circumstance we will we ask for help from our amazing rescue associates and long-term fosterers, who we then support financially and in any other way needed until that specific dog gets a home.

We do have access to emergency kennels right across the UK for any temporary emergencies when we have to – to save the life of a dog who is at imminent risk of being put to sleep.

We fund the neutering of dogs – the numbers are based on what we can afford and that enables the rescue placements that hold them to more easily find a new home. We will also do this for for struggling individuals.

We help transport dogs and with our own van, we have been able to help so many more whilst saving us large amounts of funds.

We pay for veterinary treatment as well as basics such as food and bedding where the owner is unable to, so that that the dog can remain in the care of his or her owner and the alternative is that the dog is relinquished to a rescue centre or put to sleep.

Any dogs in their final stages of life for whatever reason are cared for right to the end, not just with money but because of the support of amazing people.

If you would like to help or join our wonderful family, we are extremely grateful for every blanket, food item, auction item, donation, each share, page like, recommendation and, most of all, your support.

This is a place where teamwork really does save lives, no matter what part in you play.
