Tired Paws is a charitable foundation which was set up to take care of our beloved ex prison service dogs. After fulfilling their roles in the dog section, these beautiful dogs are retired with their former handler or are rehomed into loving families to live out their senior days on a sofa.
Many of the dogs who have been bred and specially selected and trained for their roles as sniffer dogs, riot dogs or to guard the parimeters daily, are retired earlier than planned on medical grounds. These dogs when retired are no longer the property of the prison and are retired without the possibility of becoming medically insured. This unfortunately means they can not always recieve the veterinary care they desperately need.
This is only one of the examples of why Tired Paws was established.
