What is PAW Patrol Dino Rescue?

PAW Patrol Dino Rescue – sometimes mistakenly referred to as “Dino Pups” – are a number of episodes from the main PAW Patrol series that were all about dinosaurs which originally aired in 2020.

The Dino Rescue sub-theme is one of the shows most popular to date, with there being a range of DVDs and merchandise released to accompany the theme, due to it’s popularity with fans.

Where is PAW Patrol Dino Rescue set?

Dino Rescue episodes are set away from Adventure Bay, instead taking place in the Dino Wilds – a location in the PAW Patrol universe that first appeared in the episode “Dino Rescue: Pups and the Lost Dino Eggs”, during Season 7.

The Dino Wilds are located on the other side of Jake’s Mountain, which is accessible through a tunnel that bears a stone carving of dinosaurs on it. The inside of the cave is filled with brightly colored crystals which lead through a waterfall, into the Dino Wilds.

Home to pterosaurs and all sorts of dinosaurs, the Dino Wilds is where characters Rex – a new pup introduced in season 7 – Taylor Turbot, and Dr. Tammy Turbot call home. Features of the Dino Wilds include the Dino Center, where Dr. Turbot provides checkups to dinosaurs, Dino Tower – which is the PAW Patrol’s base in the Dino Wilds – and a huge volcano.

What new character was introduced in PAW Patrol Dino Rescue?

The new member of the PAW Patrol introduced in Dino Rescue is Rex – a Bernese Mountain Dog, who is an expert on all-things dinosaurs, can speak to dinosaurs, and lives in the Dino Wilds.

He is the first member of the PAW Patrol to have a disability, although he doesn’t let this slow him down – being a determined pup always ready to help out a dino in trouble.

Rex’s appears is black and brow, with light cream patches. He wears a helmet that is colored black and blue, a green vest, and gets around with a wheeled dino walker, which carries his back legs. His vehicle is a blue and green car complete with stegosaurus plates and bears the number “19”.

In Rex’s pup-pack there’s a Dino Claw – a giant claw with a stretchable cable, which allows Rex to climb or swing to and from high places. It’s also used to help Rex grab, pick up, and move heavy objects, like logs and rocks which obstruct his path.

His catchphrases are “Let’s dino do this!” and “Let’s roar to the rescue!”.

What PAW Patrol Dino Rescue toys are there?

A range of Dino Rescue-themed PAW Patrol dinosaur toys were released in the summer of 2020, the main toy in this range being the PAW Patrol Dino Patroller – which won a Toy of the Year Award.

PAW Patrol Dino Patroller

The Dino Patroller is a motorized PAW Patrol vehicle – the first such toy to feature in the PAW Patrol toy line – and moves at the push of a button. The playset includes two figures, one of Chase in his Dino Rescue uniform, and the other a T-Rex. It also comes with 2 projectiles to use with the vehicles built in projectile launcher. The Dino Patroller playset retails for around $50 on Amazon.

PAW Patrol Dino Rescue Dino Volcano Playset

The other main toy in the range was the PAW Patrol Dino Rescue Dino Volcano Playset, which features a zipline with platform and retails for around $60 on Amazon. Other items included in this playset are a Marshall figure, a dinosaur figure, a mystery dino figure, 2 Rocks, 2 projectiles, and a projectile launcher.

Dino Rescue Action Figure Sets

Each of these playsets retail for around $15 per set on Amazon and include an additional mystery dinosaur mini figure.

Will there be more PAW Patrol Dino Rescue episodes?

While we’d love to remain hopeful, at this moment in time it’s doubtful. All of the Dino Rescue episodes came out in 2020 as part of season 7. It’s now 2 years later, and the show is half way through season 9.

There’s so far been no mention of new ones from the makers of the show, and currently there is little indication that this will change. With any luck we’re proven wrong, and we can a barrage of new Dino Rescue episodes.

Final thoughts

We’re big fans of the PAW Patrol in my house – my daughter is a super fan of the show! It would be of no surprise to readers that we’re also huge dinosaur enthusiasts, so any opportunity for a cross-over between my love of dinosaurs and the things my kids love is a welcomed one – and PAW Patrol Dino Rescue is just that.

While the Dino Rescue theme was short lived – with just 6 full-length episodes and 6 5-minute shorts, it remains one of the most popular from the PAW Patrol series, having garnered somewhat of a follower, especially among dinosaur fan parents looking to pass their love and interest of all-things dinos on to their kids.

Unfortunately for Dino Rescue fans, it looks doubtful that we’ll be getting any new episodes anytime soon. And while we hope we’re wrong about this, and that the makers of the show surprise us with an announcement of all-new Dino Rescue episodes, we won’t hold out breath.

We hope you enjoyed this article and took something away from it. And whatever you do, always remember to dino do this!
