SURRENDER A DOG
Surrender Requests
We are currently experiencing a high volume of surrender requests. Please be patient while we process your application—we will do our best to respond within one week. If you haven’t heard from us within two weeks, please email surrenders@workingpaws.com.au. Regardless of the outcome, you will receive communication from us.

HOW TO SURRENDER
To begin the surrender process, please complete our Surrender Request Form. You will need to attach your dog's vet history, including vaccination and desexing records.

BEHAVIOURAL SUPPORT
If you are experiencing behavioural issues with your dog, please visit our training resource page for advice and recommended trainers.

IM-PAW-TANT INFORMATION
🐾 All dogs in our care live in private foster homes across NSW, from Sydney to the Mid North Coast. If you are outside this area, you will need to cover transport costs if your application is successful.
🐾 Please provide as much detail as possible and include all requested documentation in your application. Videos of your dog interacting with people and other dogs are highly beneficial and may help us process your request faster. Videos can be emailed to surrenders@workingpaws.com.au.
🐾 We are an Australian working breed rescue and can only accept surrender requests for dogs that fall within this category.
