Verified ReviewerThey never responded.sent inquiry,application.I didn’t go to event as the dog I was hoping for was said to be in RI. Then saw that she was coming but had t heard about application.very sad.
No response from them!
Its hard to wait and wonder if you filled out all pertinent information.
I found out that my application said for unknown instead of for particular dog.
I tried to contact through various ways.
Website said if you apply multiple times it would all be thrown out.
There was no way to know did I annoy them, theyre just too busy and no one read application and you should just show up at event .
I couldnt drive for four hours not knowing if they didnt even want me.
Then I found out other people were applying also . So I didnt think I had a chance since Im 71 years old.
Im so sad.
Glad they take care of dogs not so much for people.

A Complete Joke
In 2015 my husband and I made the decision to foster a dog through Pound Hounds. At the time we had a 4 month old son, a 3 year old male dog, and an older cat.
We did all of the leg work to transport the dog- Pound Hounds never even saw the dog. The dog was a 6ish month male pit puppy, fixed, from the city. We did everything we could integrate the dog into our home but unfortunately the two male dogs were not a good fit. The foster dog ultimately bit our dog in the neck and our dog underwent extensive surgery (drains etc..) to repair the damage.
I contacted Pound Hounds to let them know that I needed them to find another foster and they refused. I nicely explained that I had a 6 month old child (the dog had already been with us for 2 months)and it was not longer a safe environment for any of us- dogs included. They told me to crate and rotate with our other dog. That would have been a great solution had our other dog been crate trained so ultimately the dog sat in his crate for upwards of 18 hours per day and was only taken out for walks and to eat.
As an animal lover I begged Pound Hounds to help us - they refused and continuously told me they had nobody that could foster him. The poor dog sat in the basement while we worked tirelessly to find him a home while also working with a trainer (out of our own pocket) to help with behavior modification. The irony was that once we found a home for this dog it was via an ad we posted on Craigslist and the rescue was more than persistent with the new owner about collecting their money for a dog they’d never even met. This week the owner of the foster called me hysterically crying because she’s pregnant and the dog was acting aggressively towards other alpha male dogs in her house.
She had contacted Pound Hounds and they not only refused to take the dog but also refused any options and name called her. This dog was my first foster - I’ve fostered over 20 animals since then from kill shelters as well as other rescues and I have NEVER experienced a more unprofessional and ill equipped institution in the 4 years since I fostered this dog. You should be ashamed of yoursef for ignoring dangerous situations. Rescues like yours are the reason that so many animals die in pounds.
Not every dog is a good fit for the home it’s placed in however, rescues that are collecting money for these animals should have a fall back plan when homes don’t work out.
Do yourself a favor and go to your local kill shelter or pound - and actually save an animal. Save your money on these clowns.

Horrible
Donna uses verbal abuse even when you are nice to her..Did my best to try to ssve a pitbull and she was giving everyone grief she called me and used obsenitites
Donna is the Greatest
The ASPCA explained I had to find a Safe Hope & to save a puppy from the death list. I put up a request & Pounds Hounds Resq contacted me.
I don't get everyone problems with Donna.
She was so nice & got an 11 month old (the spca made him out to be vicious) GSD that became part of our family a few days later.
I recommend them to everyone!!!
