The Pink Paw Program was first established in 2014. This registered charity was designed to help educate and support dog owners who have adopted a rescue or in the unfortunate case of looking to surrender their pet. We work with Vets, local Councils and pet shelters around the country and OS, providing free online training courses to individuals who have adopted a rescue dog from a registered shelter. If specialist training is not provided within the first 2 weeks of adoption, the likelihood of the dog being abandoned, increases significantly. Our training is focused on educating communities and children on dog behaviour and safety. The new owners are referred to us by the shelters and we provide one-on-one online training to assist them to retrain their new dog so that it can safely remain with them long term. Over 250,000 dogs are euthanised each year in Australia alone, usually due to bad behaviour. Our biggest mission is to teach people responsible dog ownership and to help put a stop to canines being surrendered and abandoned, preventing death row worldwide.
