About the Organisation
Hero Paws is a registered charity that supports and champions the cause of all working dogs across various sectors, including military, police, prisons, conservation and search and the security sector. We offer an unbiased process that aids all dogs to retire whether that be from failed training, unable to meet their current training standards or they have come to the end of their service. We offer to help bridge the gap from service to general population and to rehoming, offering continued support and guidance to make sure the dogs live out the retirement they deserve.
We have prevented the unethical euthanasia of dogs, relieved pressure off families and the services taking in the animals. We offer an unbiased process that aids all dogs to retire whether that be from failed training, unable to meet their current training standards or they have come to the end of their service. We offer to help bridge the gap from service to general population and allocation to the perfect home. We offer continued support and guidance to make sure the dogs live out the retirement they deserve. It also serves to reduce the pressure and guilt from handlers once dogs have come to the end of service and we have educated the general public around safeguarding, canine ethics and behaviour.
Our service is expanding with over 3000 police dogs, 800 prison service dogs and 1000 military dogs (amongst others) now in need of rehoming and support. The charity has plans to open a sanctuary supporting more elements of the force and service world, creating an environment free from fear and anxiety for all dogs to retire and be decompress prior to being rehomed.
