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.

Today is World Mental Health Day, and this year’s theme—“It Is Time to Prioritize Mental Health in the Workplace"—reminds us all of the importance of creating supportive environments where everyone can thrive. 🌏

At PADS, we know firsthand the life-changing impact that dogs can have on mental health. By providing trained assistance dogs, we help people build confidence and reconnect with their lives, both personally and professionally. 🐾

Let’s continue to advocate for workplaces that value mental health, promote support, and make space for healing. Together, we can create environments where everyone feels seen, heard, and supported. 💛
