Friends of the Pound (Tweed) Inc. (“FoP”) is a community based not for profit organization whose aim is to re-home the homeless dogs and cats on the southern Gold Coast and Tweed Shire. We do not receive any government funding but rely solely on donations from the public and the fundraising efforts of our volunteers.

We also promote the importance of responsible pet ownership and slowly but surely hope to lessen the increasing number of homeless animals, particularly through encouraging desexing.

By desexing the communities’ animals, we are promoting responsible pet ownership, reducing hardship and ensuring that animals are not a burden to their human owners.

Project Outcomes

By offering low-cost companion animal desexing to members of the community who can least afford to desex their companion animal we will have achieved our goal of promoting responsible pet ownership. We will know that we have achieved this goal by the number of animals that we can desex, our expectation of total animals desexed would be seventy animals at a cost of $15,000.
