As of May 2024, Redemption Paws has a rating of 3.7 stars on Google search, with more than 400 ratings and reviews, arguably the highest rating by volume, for a charity related to rescue and adoption of stray dogs.

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] The organization is run by kind and passionate volunteers and has no employees [7] and is managed by CEO Nicole Simone.
In 2021, the organisation rescued Elvado, 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-voluteers, including a former executive director, reported concerns about the practices the organisation. [4] 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]
Despite the allegations made in the investigation reports, Redemption Paws has continued its charitable activity, and as of May 2024, it has a rating of 3.7 stars [13] with over 400 ratings, and reviews from among thousands of happy beneficiaries who have adopted the rescued strays.
