Friends of the Pound
One of my online friends is a "friend of the pound".
For those of my overseas readers,the Pound is neither a unit of money nor a weight measure in Australia,but a place usually controlled by local government where lost,strayed or dumped household animals are held for a very short time in the hope they will be reclaimed by their owners.
More often than not,sadly,this is not the case,
and as the Friends aims are to..........
We would also like to encourage responsible pet ownership such as de-sexing and micro-chipping.
I'd suggest you check out the link and take a second look at yourself:are YOU doing the right thing by your animal friends?

Tigger is a rescued cat that we got when he was almost a year old. He is, without a doubt, the best furry friend anyone has ever had.
Kittens are cute, but adopting an older furry one has so many advantages. You can see if your personalities are right for each other. They are already box trained. And I swear they are grateful for being rescued.
Tigger is going to be 12 this year and I'm thankful each day that we're friends.
He stays inside with us all the time so he's safe from fights, cars and stranger danger.
Thank you for supporting such a worthy cause.
Hugs.

Thanks Mauz for putting the good work of the Pound out to a wider audience, without people who are willing to support organisations such as this, homeless, dumped and surrendered animals would have no second chances.
If you're thinking of getting a pet - check out your local pet shelter first - there are some beautiful animals who will provide a lifetime of love :)
