Hounds In Pounds, Inc

Wayne, NJ

Our Mission

Hounds in Pounds is dedicated to rescuing at risk dogs through out the south and the north east.

The mission of Hounds in Pounds, a 501c3 public charity is to end the killing of thousands of adoptable dogs in the United States daily. We have come up with a multi-faceted approach combining rescue, adoption, spay/neuter outreach and public education.


Hounds in Pounds Rescue does have a President, Vice President, and Secretary/Treasurer and while that is important it really is just a formality for us. We work as a team, we communicate from sunrise to sunset and there are so many moving pieces that make our team a success. We make each decision as a team and respect each other’s opinions. Each dog we pull to safety is a member of our team as well and to be clear we are working for them, these dogs are our fearless leaders and we look to them for hope, inspiration and sometimes the strength to keep going.

Adoption Policy

Our adoption areas include: Georgia, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Maine, Vermont, Delaware, Maryland, the District of Columbia, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire.
