Dear Friends:

WITH REGARD TO OUR ADOPTIONS

All of our cats receive significant viewing in our adoption center and on PetFinder.com, which sometimes results in many, many applications for an individual cat.

Each application is screened and checked thoroughly, on a first-come, first serve basis, and processed accordingly.

Applications are processed by our Board of Directors, which consists of long-time FPP volunteer members, who make the approval decision unanimously. We strive to place our cats and dogs in the most suitable and compatible homes possible, with the goal that it be each one’s FOREVER HOME.

Your patience and understanding in the application process is greatly appreciated.

Who We Are

The Friends of the Plymouth Pound was started in 1985 by a small group of concerned citizens assisting the animal control officer in the historic town of Plymouth, Massachusetts. Since its incorporation in 1989, the Friends of the Plymouth Pound and its volunteers have assisted thousands of local people and cats and dogs (both family pets and strays) by providing support through the group's various programs, which include low-cost spaying/neutering assistance, adoption and foster care, and educational outreach.

In addition to our Adoption Center facility in the Independence Mall in Kingston, MA (opened in November 2011), the Friends of the Plymouth Pound also have an active foster care program for homeless cats and dogs, providing loving "transition" homes for these animals while they await adoption. Volunteer "foster parents" generously use their own money to pay for food and litter for the foster animals, which is supplemented whenever possible by the Friends of the Plymouth Pound. In addition to supporting the group's spay/neuter program, a significant portion of the monetary donations received is used to provide the animals in foster care with veterinary services including examinations, inoculations, tests, surgery and prescription medications.

The Friends of the Plymouth Pound relies solely on donations from the general public, as well as the care and devotion of its dedicated volunteers. WE ARE AN ALL-VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATION. If you would like to help the Friends of the Plymouth Pound, please contact  FPP by telephone at (508) 224-6651 or by e-mail at fpp@friendsplymouthpound.org.
