Welcome to Pound Dog Rescue Link
According to The Dog’s Trust 2007 Stray Dog Survey, 7,892 dogs were unnecessarily destroyed in the UK last year. These figures are shocking and unacceptable.
This website has been set up to assist dog rescue charities, organisations and rescue groups. We aim to to do this by helping to find foster homes/forever homes or rescue spaces for dogs on put to sleep lists in UK pounds. There are sadly a growing number of dogs due to be destroyed in pounds across the UK. Rescue groups who are trying to save these dogs often have no option but to get the At Risk dogs out of the pound by placing them into emergency boarding kennels. This is costly and many rescue groups are struggling to find the funds to pay for this.
Rescue groups and individuals - if you have details of any dog who is at risk of destruction, please send details to Cathy: admin@dogrescuelink.org giving as much information about the dog/dogs as possible. We will then list the details on this site. Please also be sure to give us your contact details.
We are here to provide a network of support for dogs on ‘Death Row’ via this website. The lists of Urgent dogs are updated daily.
URGENT DOGS These dogs are on ‘Death Row’ and currently at risk of being put to sleep. Please take a look at this list of lovely dogs. These dogs need rescue spaces to get them out of immediate danger!
URGENT DOGS IN KENNELS & EMERGENCY BOARDING KENNELS The dogs on these pages have been on ‘death row’ in pounds and urgently need a rescue space, or they have been in kennels for a long period of time, and are longing for a forever home to call their own, or a foster home to get them out of kennels. Please look at these beautiful dogs!
RESCUES - All rescues who kindly offer their help must have a no destruction policy, homecheck all prospective owners and ensure that the dog is returned to your rescue should the owner no longer be able to keep the dog.
if you can offer a rescue space to one of these at risk dogs, please get in touch with the relevant contact listed with each individual dog’s details.
Transport - We also need to establish a transport network of people who can help transport the dogs from all areas of the UK. If you can offer your help by transporting dogs, your help is urgently needed. please contact us. Email: admin@dogrescuelink.org
Home Checkers also urgently needed - please get in touch with the relevant contact listed with each individual dog’s details.
