These are only some of the people who help the Pound Dogs
Nelson Vets - Victory and Saxton Road Clinics
Nelson Vets give the Pound Dogs very heavily discounted rates for desexing. As all dogs rehomed through the Pound must be desexed this is our biggest expense in rehoming a Pound dog. Nelson Vet staff are wonderful, they welcome and pay heaps of attention to our dogs who they treat the same as any loved pet. One of the Vets even helped us with post desexing care, taking one of the dogs who had complications after surgery home with her for recovery.
VetLife in Richmond and Motueka
VetLife gives the Pound Dogs discounted rates for their vaccinations and vet expenses. The old Vet Centre (now VetLife) even helped us find homes for the Dogs, Angie (was adopted by one of the Vet Nurses), and Cruze, Sophie and Bob were all rehomed through the Vet Centre. Chumley would never have lived, but for the extra care and attention provided by one of the Vet nurses, who gave a lot of their time free of charge to save his life.
Spring Grove Kennels
Many of the Pound Dogs stay at Spring Grove Kennels after they've been desexed and we're sure they get special attention. Jesse, Bees, Millie, Simba, Harvey, Keene and Bindi and many more dogs all stayed at SpringGrove. One dog Spot went to SpringGrove for recovery and never left. He's now leading a wonderful life, I hope to add Spot's story to the Then And Now stories by the end of September.
Z Petrol on Main Road Stoke
Donate their left over pies to the dogs. Pie time at the Pound is very serious, there is absolute silence when the pies are handed around. Some of the dogs eyes widen in absolute wonder. There's too many poor dogs whose rib cages is clearly visible, for them it's absolute heaven at the Pound! They arrive feeling absolutely terrified, then some-one says here you go mate and gives them a pie! They never want to go home.
Doggy Daycare in Hope
Some of the Pound Dogs go to Doggy Day Care in Hope for an afternoon, they love it, gives them a break from the Pound and helps them find homes. Steph and Leanne take some wonderful photos of our dogs, and the give the Pound Dogs a cut rate.
Dark Sapphire Pet Photography
Rochelle from Dark Sapphire Pet Photograph helps the Tasman Pound Dogs find homes by taking some great photos. We usually take the dogs to Queens Gardens so they dogs get an outing along with their photo shoot.
