Pound Dog Partners is a non-profit (501c3), all volunteer organization, dedicated to improving conditions and saving lives at the Guernsey County Dog Shelter (located in Cambridge Ohio). We assist the shelter by purchasing vaccinations, financing veterinary expenses, facilitate building and grounds improvements at the county shelter and financially assist the community with our spay/neuter program. We also regularly transport dogs from the shelter, often very long distances, to meet with no kill rescues. We have saved thousands of lives since our organization was established in 2004!
- Transport:
Pound Dog Partners owns and operates vehicles dedicated to the purpose of transporting dogs to rescues and veterinary appointments. Our volunteer couriers transport as many as two dozen dogs and puppies at a time for delivery to shelters and rescue organizations who will keep them safe until they can find permanent homes. In Guernsey County, animal transport is critical due to space and budget limits at the county shelter.
- Cell Dogs:
Pound Dog Partners works with the Noble County Corrections Institution to select dogs for obedience and behavioral training. This program is a life-saving opportunity for both dogs and inmates. Specially trained individuals serving time at the institution work with dogs to give them social and behavioral skills that will help them find loving, permanent homes. Trainers learn valuable life skills and grow beyond their past experiences through working with dogs.
- Spay/Neuter:
Spaying and neutering dogs is critical to the goal of reducing the problem of homeless pets. Pound Dog Partners conducts community outreach and educational programs to spread understanding of the importance of spaying and neutering pets. In addition, the organization regularly seeks funding to assist in reducing the cost of spaying and neutering for qualifying individuals. These efforts are the single most effective way to preserve the health and well being of pets today and to prevent unwanted litters tomorrow.
