About Red Paw Re homing

Red Paw Rescue

Red Paw Re homing is an organisation which Re-homes dogs that are retiring search dogs or sometimes dogs that have not made the grade as a detection dogs. We are not a re-homing centre and we only deal with dogs that we have taken into our establishment to train to be detection dogs. Therefore the dogs that we often have available are dogs such as Labradors, Springer, and German Sheppard’s or cross breeds of these types of dogs.

Search dogs usually retire from work from 8 to 10 years of age and on some occasions their handlers take them on. However, in some occasions the handlers are unable to take the dog on and therefore we have to find suitable loving homes for them.

Sadly, sometimes dogs don't make the grade to become a search dog. Once withdrawn from the training programme, they are assessed for their suitability in the home environment. Although the dogs have not made it as search dogs this does not mean they will not make wonderful pets. Although they failed to make the grade from either a health, behaviour or temperament reason the majority of these dogs that need homes are lovely dogs that are just looking for that loving home.

Please note that there can sometimes be a waiting lists for some dogs and sometimes the dogs we re home need specific homing with experience handlers. Therefore we have the right to refuse people a dog if we feel they are unsuitable for a particular dog. Some of the dogs we re-home have never been a pet dog so they will need house training and some basic training.

All dogs that we re-home are vaccinated, micro-chipped, and checked by our vet before being re-homed and each owner is given full details on their behaviour and offer any necessary advice needed. Red Paw is always available to offer advice and help if any issues arise with the dog.

We have had great success in re-homing many dogs that have failed to make the grade as search dogs. So please read the many happy stories available.

We’ll ask for an adoption fee when we re-home a dog this helps towards the cost of the animal’s care during their stay with us.

On some occasions when people live a significant distance from our establishment we ask for a vet reference and photographical evidence of your garden.

4. View the dog.
Once we feel happy that we think you could be suitable we invite you up to assess if you would be suitable for the dog and for you to get to know the dog. If you have a dog already, we will also need to arrange a meeting between the dogs, too. If we are happy and we believe you are the suitable for the dog we will then arrange a suitable date for you to re-home him/her.

We currently have a Hungarian Vizsla Cross Lab looking for a loving Home. Orin is 3 years old and is not happy in kennels, he is a very affectionate loving dog who adores human company. He can be walk off lead with other dogs however he needs to be focused with a ball as he can sometime be dominate with other dogs. He needs to be homed as an only dog. Orin will make a fantastic companion for an active owner. Orin will need some training to adapt into pet dog life but he is a loving boy well worth the effort.
