About Us

---

In operation since 2012, Pound Paws became a registered Not for Profit in 2015, and in March 2019 a Canadian registered charity 

(Réseau Secours Animaux Pound Paws) 

Registration number 7152 8697 RR0001.

Our 100% volunteer-based organization is dedicated to saving animals urgently in need of rescue in and around the Montreal area. The vast majority of these animals are on death row in pounds, with deadlines of days or just even hours. Pound Paws acts as the intermediary between the pounds and a network of rescues that ensure the animals find good homes.

Your support will allow us to save animals who:

• Require veterinary care, having arrived  at the pound neglected, abused or sick
• Are injured and in danger of immediate  euthanasia at the pound
• Are past their euthanasia deadline at the pound and need temporary boarding while a rescue or transport is found

The sick, injured or neglected animals to whom we provide veterinary care require a significant amount of financial resources, and we constantly need to fundraise in order to be able to help them.  Your support will be greatly appreciated and will have an immediate and lasting impact. 

Relying solely on donations and fundraising to cover our expenses, Pound Paws helps save literally hundreds of animals every year. All funds collected go directly to helping the animals. 

If you’d like to speak to one of the Pound Paws team, or would like to know how you might help, please write to us at either cats@poundpaws.ca or at admin@poundpaws.ca. 

 Pound Paws is proud to be partnered with the volunteer animal transportation groups Freedom Drivers and Critter Cabs. Without their help, what we do would literally not be possible. 

Every penny raised by Pound Paws or donated by our supporters is used to either pay veterinary or temporary boarding expenses.
