Where are you based? 

We work primarily with a kennels in the North West of Lancashire.  We do however work closely with rescues across the country.

What are pound dogs? 

Pound dogs are dogs who have found themselves in the dog pound and are unassessed by Homeless Hounds.  They are looking for a rescue space or in some cases a foster home.  We do not usually rehome these dogs directly although there are exceptions.

How do I adopt a dog? 

Please visit our adoption page and read our Adoption Policy.

How are you funded? 

Our work is funded entirely by peoples kind donations and our own fundraising events.  Our trustees are unpaid and do not receive any expenses, so every penny goes towards saving dogs lives.

If you feel you would like to help then please visit our Get Involved page.

Do you put dogs to sleep? 

Homeless Hounds have a no destruction policy and no dogs in our care will be put to sleep unless recommended by a vet for humane reasons.

Why do you charge an adoption fee? 

Dogs who come into our care receive a vet check, an initial course of vaccinations and are neutered.  Many of these dogs also have other medical conditions which need treatment by a vet.  The adoption fee is to help towards covering these costs
