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.

It’s puppy season! We’ve had an influx of new puppies join the PADS village, and we’re excited to share their life-changing journeys with you. In about 8 weeks, our youngest furriends will join their Puppy-Raisers and begin their training. There’s just one problem - we’re out of puppy-sized collars. This #WishlistWednesday we’re asking for collars for our youngest superheroes. Visit the link in our bio to help out. P.S. if you’re interested in becoming a puppy-raiser, you can find out more at pads.ca - we’d love to have you. Image descriptions: Image 1: PADS Goaldie, a young yellow Lab puppy whose eyes have just opened, lies on a blue blanket. Image 2: A litter of two week old Lab puppies lie together in a whelping box. Three puppies are light yellow, one is golden yellow, and one is black. Image 3: A newborn yellow lab lies on her stomach in a whelping box. The photo is taken from above and her head rests between her paws. Image 4: PADS Tattor, a newborn yellow Lab puppy sleeps on her side on a pink and white blanket. Her eyes are closed and her tongue is out.

We'd like to take a moment to introduce our newest furriend from @warriorcanineconnection, PADS Kashtin! Kashtin met his new puppy-raiser this week and has started his journey to becoming a life-changing assistance dog. Kashtin's first year of training is kindly being supported by @oyfportmoody. We're happy to report he's already practicing his flow (mostly in order to achieve the comfiest nap). #PADSPuppy #PADSDogs Image descriptions: Image 1: PADS Kashtin, a yellow Lab puppy wearing a yellow PADS vest, sits in front of a tree. He looks calmly at the camera. Image 2: PADS Kashtin is sleeping on his back with his front paws tucked up to his muzzle.
