Rescue Dogs For Adoption

Companion Paws Canada, part of The LifeLine Canada Foundation, supports Canadians in need by rescuing, training, and pairing **rescue dogs for adoption** with individuals who would benefit from a therapy companion. Through the Companion Paws Personal Therapy-Dog Adoption Program, the first of its kind in Canada since 2017, these rescue dogs are matched with their new owners based on personality and temperament. Both dogs and adopters undergo a thorough intake assessment, and Companion Paws provides skills training to ensure a successful partnership.

Personal Therapy Dog Adoption Program

The Companion Paws Canada Personal Therapy Dog Adoption Program offers a unique opportunity to adopt pre-trained rescue dogs that provide emotional support and improve mental wellness. This program pairs individuals with temperament-assessed dogs based on their specific needs. Each dog undergoes obedience training, while the adopter receives guidance on further training. To apply, individuals must provide a recommendation letter from a licensed mental health professional and, if renting, a landlord's permission letter. Upon successful completion, adopters receive certification, and the dog becomes a designated therapy dog, enhancing the emotional well-being of its owner.
