About us
Founded in 2014, Pound Hounds ResQ is an all-volunteer based 501(c)3 animal welfare non-profit, committed to supporting animal rescue in our own backyard of New York City and the tri-state area (PA included), Our mission is rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming dogs that come through these shelters, with a focus on Pit Bulls. We have several initiatives that help us in our endeavors such as pet adoption events that bring about public awareness and education about animal welfare. The PHR program consists of behavioral training, obedience training, and vetting to get these dogs in adoptable condition. PHR saves hundreds of dogs every year that otherwise would have been euthanized either for lack of space and/or lack of veterinary care at the NYC Shelter System.
Pound Hounds Res-Q believes that every animal deserves a loving home. How that happens takes lots of work. We try to pair the animal with the best possible foster or adopter home available. We take into consideration the initial behavior evaluation and volunteer evaluation. We also consider the animal's environment at the shelter. It's not science, but it helps us pair us with the best possible pets/people. Furthermore, we then look at family dynamics. Are they active, are they quiet, etc.? This gives us a better perspective of what animals would be right for them and their lifestyle. We look at the total environment, kids, other pets, etc. It's not perfect, but it helps enormously in placing every animal with the right family. It's truly a challenge, but it's something that we don't take lightly. It's a big effort but so rewarding in the long run. We do not have a facility but rather rely on a network of committed loving foster homes that see these animals through to adoption. It is a selfless act and every single one of our fosters helps us save another precious life.
