Thanks for checking us out! I’m Joe and I’m the founder of Pound Town Pooches.
The story leading to Pound Town is fairly unremarkable. Simply, I love dogs. I see the power of the boundless positivity they bring to the world. My family and friends love dogs. And when I get out and about in our beautiful city, it’s becomes pretty clear that we’re a city of dogs. Their wagging tails, their squeaky snorts and that sincere loyalty and love that comes without preconditions or judgement.
I did years of the daily grind, including frequent travel and demanding jobs, and it came at the expense of one thing that really closed the circle. Having a dog.
When I have had dogs in my life, they’ve run beside me in the good times; and honestly, saved me in the bad. So when the opportunity to do something different presented itself, I decided I wanted to dedicate my time to making it easier for busy people to be able to have a dog in their life.
But I couldn’t stop there.
Do you ever notice when you’re walking your dog, people who would otherwise pass you by without a nod or a smile, suddenly stop and chat. Social barriers fade away, and you’re just people, bought together without hesitation by a four-legged fur monster who can’t even share in the conversation.
That’s what we aim to do at Pound Town – bring people together. Get social with our fur babies. Share the joy these amazing creatures bring. And work with organisations to extend that joy to people who truly need it.
Our journey is just beginning, and there is a LOT of work to do. But we’re super excited, and can’t wait to share this incredible ride with you and your furry best friends.
