ABOUT PADS

PADS dogs are raised and trained on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded lands of the Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Səl̓ílwətaʔ (Tsleil-Waututh), and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nations.

We acknowledge the importance of these lands and their history. We do this to reaffirm our commitment and responsibility in improving relationships between nations and to improving our own understanding of local Indigenous peoples and their cultures.

We breed, raise and train fully certified assistance dogs. Our service (mobility & PTSD) and hearing dogs provide life-changing independence to those with disabilities. Our accredited facility dogs work with community professionals, such as teachers, RCMP and psychologists to help support healthy communities.

PADS is a fully accredited member of Assistance Dogs International.

The first Sunday in June marks Canadian Armed Forces Day, a day to celebrate the contributions of Canadian military personnel, past and present. PADS Towhee and PADS Pip, along with all the PADS humans, would like to extend our gratitude to all who have served with the goal of building a better world. We're proud to serve those who have served us, and to be able to provide life-changing service dogs for veterans so that they can feel safe in a world that they've helped to protect. We'd also like to thank organizations like the @legionbcyukon and @tplfoundation, who share in this work and help to make our mission possible. #CanadianArmedForces #DogsWithJobs Image description: PADS Towhee, an adult brindle Lab, and PADS Pip, a young black lab puppy, wear matching poppy bandanas. Towhee lays in the grass, while Pip sits beside her with her tongue out.

Winning medals and winning hearts ✨ Team Ky were bound to hit it off from the start. PADS Ky, named for @kyliemasse, and Marni, head coach of the Canadian senior women's wheelchair basketball team, were matched last year, and quickly changed each others lives. Ky’s hard-working nature and kind heart support Marni both mentally and physically. “He helps me daily” says Marni, “I cannot imagine my life without him.” Read more of Team Ky’s story through our bio. #LifeInTheBlueVest #WorkingDog Image descriptions: Image 1: PADS Ky, a yellow Lab wearing a blue PADS vest, lies on the grass facing Marni, a woman wearing a red toque. Marni smiles as she looks at Ky. Image 2: Ky, wearing his blue vest, sits in front of a bronze statue of a man holding a camera. Ky's leash has been placed in the statue's hand. Image 3: Ky stands on his hind legs and rests his front legs on Marni's lap. Both look at the camera.

POV: you’re the Puppy Photographer 📸 Getting 8-week old puppies to sit still and look at the camera for their yellow vest photos takes skill (in the form of silly noises, puppy voice, and lots of kibble). #PADSBehindTheScenes Video description: a young black Lab puppy sits and tilts her head at the camera. The words “expectations vs…” show on the screen. The video then transitions into clips of young Lab puppies being coaxed into sitting and looking at the camera with the words “reality” overlaid on top.

It’s National Paramedic Services Week, and we’d like to extend our gratitude to all the paramedics and first responders (both human and canine) who help keep us safe and calm during some of our most vulnerable moments. We’re grateful to be able to provide Accredited Facility Dogs (like @padsorion_ii) to care for the wellness of those who care for us. #ThankYou #ParamedicServices Image descriptions: Image 1: PADS Orion II, a yellow Lab in a blue PADS vest, sits with his partner Grant, a paramedic, in front of a rescue helicopter. Image 2: PADS Orion II stands amongst paramedic supplies and looks seriously at the camera.

May is Leave a Legacy Month, and we’d like to again highlight the legacy of Team Vader’s mother, Rose. Witnessing firsthand the comfort and strength that PADS Vader brought to her daughter, Rose became a dedicated supporter of the PTSD Service Dog Program. To honour Rose and her unwavering support, Team Vader is generously matching donations made from now until National PTSD Awareness Day. Join us in celebrating Rose’s legacy, and give a gift that changes lives through our bio. #LeaveALegacy #TeamVader #PADSDogs Image description: A photo of Rose, wearing a purple shirt, sitting and smiling at the camera. Her daughter, Val, has her arm around her. Next to Rose is PADS Vader, a black Lab wearing a blue PADS vest. Below the photo is a blue box with white type that reads ‘Leave a legacy. Rose left a legacy of strong roots and gentle paws.
