My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi, my name is Lady Bird, my foster mom calls me LB, and I like it!! I’m a 3-year-old Doodle (the iPhone dog lookup will tell you I’m a German Wire-Haired Pointer but my foster mom said don’t believe everything you read), I mean, I’m from Georgia! How could I be German?! Jeeeesh!! Anyway…..I didn’t have such a great start…….#teamHIP found me completely emaciated, skeletal (you could see all my ribs and every vertebra in my back), and my hair? What a mess! It was so matted and gross, and I had bug bites and fleas and other critters living in it-they had to shave me NAKKIE! It’s a good thing it was still summer!

When I went to the vet they said I had worms in my heart and I had to be treated ASAP!! As long as I don’t have to live alone anymore and fend for myself! I’ve gained 38 lbs since arriving at my foster home. My foster mom said it was important to tell you all that I have seven foster sisters, we all love to chase tennis balls, lay in the sun on back decks, sit for cookies, run the fence line, and try to kiss the little kids that visit us! I need to have a fenced in backyard, it’s a must! I’m a big and strong girl, I love to hug my foster mom and I’m learning to be gentle! OH! I’m crate and house-trained. Do you have jingle bells at your house? I use my nose here in GA to let my foster mom know I have to go potty! She said she’d keep me but then she wouldn’t be able to help save more dogs, so, even though I’ll miss her and everyone else here, I’m ready to have my very own family. I’ve been to the groomer, and I LOVE IT!!! They said I was a SUPER GOOD GIRL!!! Anyway……time for dinner…….tell all your friends that Lady Bird is single and ready to mingle!

Additional adoption info

Our mission is to find the best possible homes for the animals in our care. Many of them have been through severe hardship, mistreatment or neglect, and that makes it even more important that we do our best for them. This means that we have to have guidelines because not every adopter is right for every animal. We try to do right by every person who comes our way looking for a new family pet. But sometimes we have to say “no” to a potential adopter. Our animals do not have a say in where they go; since we speak for those who have no voice, we must do it well. Our rejection of an adoption application is no reflection on the adopter. Everyone who wants to adopt an animal from a shelter or rescue group is special because they open their homes to those in need. But, while we try to meet the needs of everyone, our clients are the animals. They have no one else. We appreciate your understanding.

More about this rescue

The mission of Hounds in Pounds (HIP), is to end the daily killing of thousands of adoptable dogs in the United States. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in New Jersey and Georgia and we rely 100% on donations.

HIP has a multi-faceted approach to achieving our mission, combining rescue, adoption, spay/neuter outreach and public education. Dogs rescued by Hounds in Pounds are transported to private veterinarians for proper medical treatment, where they are vetted, spayed/neutered, vaccinated, micro-chipped and tested for heartworm before being placed into new, loving homes. We work as a team, communicating from sunrise to sundown to manage the many moving pieces that make our work successful.

Each dog we pull to safety is a member of our family and is treated with the utmost love and respect. We are a lifeline for thousands of dogs that otherwise wouldn’t stand a chance. Many of the dogs we rescue are cases that no one else will take, as our motto at HIP is to “never say never”. To be clear, we are working for them. These dogs are our heroes, and we look to them for hope, inspiration and sometimes the strength to keep going. We also consider our followers, donors, adopters, rescue partners and the rescue community a direct extension of our team. Without each of these moving parts, Hounds in Pounds wouldn’t be able to do what we do.

As one can imagine, the costs associated with running an operation of this magnitude are extraordinary. We fulfill our mission by collaborating with local shelters, veterinarians, boarding facilities, transporters, and local businesses, and through the generosity of donors and supporters. It is thanks to our dedicated volunteers and the benevolent donations of our HIP family of supporters that any of this is possible.
