The success of Bridging the Gap will demonstrate to animal welfare organizations the vital role pet stores can play in caring for our homeless. Think of the impact made when volunteers gather at stores, raising signs of approval instead of protest.

Ken and Martie, Co-Founders, were instrumental in formulating our Adoption Headquarters' concept, and created many of the forms that can be downloaded.
Our experience has been nothing but positive!

OC PoundHounds
Contact: michele@ocpoundhounds.com
OC PoundHounds is a non-profit organization whose focus is to identify shelter dogs from the local "High Kill" Shelters in Los Angeles and the Inland Empire. This company rescues small, apartment-sized dogs, usually under 15 lbs, who are on the euthanasia lists for reasons such as: minor medical (suspected kennel cough, urinary and/or respiratory tract infections, skin allergies), cruelty and/or neglect cases, or just because the shelter is over-crowded and has to make space for incoming dogs.
