Organization

Redemption Paws is a Toronto-based non-profit[1] and charity[2] [3] that relocates dogs from countries affected by climate change, natural disaster, or canine overpopulation.[4] The organisation was founded in September 2017.[5]

History and activities

Redemption Paws reported rehoming almost 3,000 dogs from U.S shelters over a four year period.[6]

A Readers Digest article[7] reported the efforts of Redemption Paws, stating that the organization had completed two missions to Houston, successfully bringing 63 homeless pups into Canada, and giving them another shot at life. The article detailed the efforts of Canadians rescuing homeless dogs from Hurricane Harvey, and mentioned Nicole Simone, the CEO of Redemption Paws as a long-time animal shelter volunteer.

In 2021, the organisation rescued Elevado, a U.S. dog that was paralysed by a gunshot.[8] [9] During the COVID-19 pandemic[10] the organization had a surplus of dogs up for adoption and launched Streamlined Adoption Month in August 2021.[11]

In a March 2022 Toronto Star investigation, over 24 sources, including 19 staff and ex-volunteers, including a former executive director, reported concerns about the practices the organisation. An April 2022 Toronto Star investigative report profiled the experience of one rescue dog and the Redemption Paws "Dogs From Away" project, which sent rescue dogs to Newfoundland.[12]
