Introduction:Pound Pets are dogs and cats that have been brought to pounds by their owners. These pets are in need of permanent homes due to the fact that their owner could not pay the pound fees. Some of these pets come from surrendered homes where their owners just want to get rid of them for reasons such as financial constrains, allergies or change in personal preference. These pets will be tagged for a limited period of time before being adopted by the pound. Pound pets can either be adopted by fellow pet lovers in the community or by shelters from neighboring communities.
Animals are gaining more and more popularity as pets. Sometimes life circumstances make it possible for many people to have a new animal friend in their life.
