Pound Paws is an Australian based charity focused on reducing the number of pets on death row per year.

They assist rescue centres & pounds with the overall adoption process, as well as utilise modern online technology to re-home pets and educate the Australian public.

One of their main activities is organising pet adoption events, as well as placing pets into temporary foster homes, to save them from death row.
