Impact Summary from the Nonprofit
OCPH was formed exclusively for rescuing Toy breed dogs in the shelter system in Southern CA and education the general public and prospective dog owners that shelter dogs are no "broken", old or abused but are homeless dogs due to the huge over-population problem in Southern CA. OCPoundhounds reaches out to the community through their own, and community websites, monthly e-newsletters, brochures and other literature, Internet Community Bulletin Boards, and "Meet & Greet Clinics" held at locally at the PetCo in Orange on Katella Avenue, sponsored animal events and locally-owned pet supply establishments.

Profile:
OCPoundHounds was exclusively created/founded for charitable and educational purposes in 2005 by Michele McKay when she saw the need for small breed rescue and animal advocacy in Southern California. Michele has been actively working in Orange County, California, where OCPH is headquartered. The organization is volunteer run.
Leadership Statement:
<div><p >Due
to State of California budget cuts for animal shelters, companion animals are
at a higher risk of euthanasia than ever before. Overall, dogs and cats killed
in the US has decreased from 20-million dogs and cats euthanized in 1970, to
6-million in 2008 and around 3-million in 2011 (60% dogs and 70% cats) Southern CA still
has a huge problem with over-population as only 10% of dogs entering the
shelter system have been spayed or neutered. The OCRegister, has an example of
this in a news item entitled “<em>Kills double at O.C.’s largest ‘pro-humane’
animal shelter.”</em></p>
<p > It
is urgent, more than ever before, to step forward to help reduce the
unwanted pet populations and rescue small breed dogs in danger of euthanasia at
animal shelters. </p></div>
