Rehoming Your Dog to TLC’s Companion Paws Therapy Dog Program
We understand how difficult it is when a situation arises that causes you to no longer be able to keep your beloved sweet pet and require rehoming your dog. Although Companion Paws Canada is not a rescue organization, however we will adopt great matches for our clients and will rehome dogs that are suitable, into our Companion Paws Therapy Dog Adoption Program for Personal therapy (emotional support) and Assisted therapy.

To further discuss rehoming your dog, please complete the below form. Upon first review, if the dog is deemed to be potentially suitable for rehoming, we will schedule a professional temperament assessment with a qualified Companion Paws trainer/assessor to meet you for the assessment to ascertain suitability. If your dog is assessed to be suitable for one of our clients, we will move forward with the adoption and placement of your sweetheart.
