About Pound Paws Charity:

Pound Paws is an Australian charity on a mission to reduce the number of pets on death row each year. We work closely with pounds and rescue centres to streamline the adoption process, run community awareness events, and use modern tech to rehome pets across the country. From temporary fostering to popular adoption days, every paw counts.

This event is a beloved staple in the Eastern Suburbs calendar and continues to bring the community together for a great cause.
