Welcome to the PawPADs "recycling" center
Where PawPADs' dogs who don't "make the cut" are available for adoption.
We have no dogs available to be released at this time.
Ocassionally, we have a dog that is eligible to be 're-purposed' or 'recyled' into a new life. This usually occurs when there is a characteristic in an otherwise incredible canine that makes him/her unsuitable for a life as an asssistance dog: health issues (hip dysplasia, allergies, etc), temperament (displaying fear, resource guarding, high prey drive) or simply lacking the desire to perform the tasks asked of it. These dogs are generally 1-2 years old, have been spayed or neutered and are current on all vaccinations. They are still amazing dogs with unique personalities, have received in-depth training and a high degree of socialization. They will be fabulous pets for homes that are looking for a canine companion and we seek to place these dogs with local families!
