Meet Teri and Velvet. Teri is a long-time PADS volunteer and supporter and Velvet is her most recent puppy in training. When asked to describe Velvet Teri describes her as: ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Vivacious⁠⠀
Effervescent⁠⠀
Loveable⁠⠀
Velveeta *she loves cheese⁠⠀
Eager⁠⠀
Tenacious⁠⠀
⁠⠀
When asked about her volunteer journey with PADS Teri writes:⁠⠀
⁠⠀
"In 2006 a couple of CityTV co-workers signed up for puppy sitting as part of the EPE "Early Puppy Education" program and said PADS was short of volunteers. The program fit well with my work/travel schedule, so I signed up too. Little did I know how addictive these pups would become, before I knew it I was raising, and then breeder caretaker as well. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I love working with horses, and the pups are an extension of that. These lovely beings force you to put life tensions aside and be present in order to connect with them.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
⁠⠀
An unexpected bonus with PADS has been the friendships forged over the years, with like-minded people. Pretty sure I have a few good years left in me, so I plan to keep doing this until I can no longer lift the bags of food!" ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
We are very grateful to have such committed volunteers who have stuck with PADS for so long. Teri offers support to new raisers and is often seen helping new volunteers learn the ropes. Thank you, Teri! ⁠⠀

Meet PADS Ducati and his amazing team of raisers.

Meet PADS Ducati and his amazing team of raisers. Together Suzy and Cindy describe Ducati as:⁠⠀
D- Dynamic Duke⁠⠀
⁠⠀
U- Unafraid⁠⠀
⁠⠀
C- Charismatic⁠⠀
⁠⠀
A- Adventurous⁠⠀
⁠⠀
T- Tender- Hearted⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I- Impish⁠⠀
⁠⠀
When asked why she volunteers with PADS, Cindy writes: " I learned of PADS through a colleague. I was so moved by the organization's mission that I applied to volunteer. I was worried about raising my first puppy on my own, I very quickly learned I had a whole community of volunteers and staff supporting me and my pup through our journey. They laughed with me, they felt my pain, they listened without judgment and they shared their own experiences. Its the friendships and shared experiences that keep me bonded to the PADS community. I'm a lifer!"⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Suzy has now been volunteering at PADS for 3 years, when asked about her journey with PADS she states; "I met my first service dog through an autistic boy I help. I was curious so went to an information session at PADS and now it is three years, two dogs and many friends later. I have been called a giver many times in my life, but I have wonderfully discovered at PADS that there are many "givers" in the PADS Village. It is sure wonderful being friends with the PADS village of givers!"⁠⠀
⁠⠀
We are very grateful to this incredible team for all of their hard work put into raising such an amazing pup.⁠⠀

Meet Meredith, Henrik and Anna! Meredith and Henri

Meet Meredith, Henrik and Anna! Meredith and Henrik are long time volunteers with PADS. They have had many puppies in their home and describe their current puppy Anna as:⁠⠀
⁠⠀
A- Affable⁠⠀
N- Nimble⁠⠀
N- Natural⁠⠀
A- Awesome⁠⠀
⁠⠀
⁠⠀
When asked why they choose to volunteer with PADS they write:⁠⠀
⁠⠀
‘We continue to volunteer for PADS as the work we do with the puppies-in-training is intellectually stimulating, and even after 11 years we still continue to learn new techniques.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
With ever improving training methodologies, PADS trainers keep us engaged in the program and we are seeing promising results all the time. We also know that every dog is not destined to be a service dog, and we appreciate the time and care PADS takes to find the soft landing for every one of their dogs.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
We love the dogs, but we also get to spend time with wonderful like-minded people. Our PADS friendships are irreplaceable.’⁠⠀
⁠⠀
We are very grateful for committed volunteers like Meredith and Henrik. We could not raise our puppies into lovely working dogs without the care and dedication of people like you!
