ABOUT PADS

PADS dogs are raised and trained on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded lands of the Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Səl̓ílwətaʔ (Tsleil-Waututh), xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Ktunaxa ɁamakɁis (Ktunaxa), Ĩyãħé Nakón mąkóce (Stoney), Niitsítpiis-stahkoii ᖹᐟᒧᐧᐨᑯᐧ ᓴᐦᖾᐟ (Blackfoot / Niitsítapi ᖹᐟᒧᐧᒣᑯ), Tsuut’ina & Michif Piyii (Métis) Nations, and the Syilx Okanagan People.

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.

Canoe believe it? We've got five brand new puppies Canoe believe it? We've got five brand new puppies on board 🛶 We're pleased to announce the arrival of George's Paddling Places Litter! PADS Fernie and @lfcdogguides Cartier welcomed brothers Chester II, Chilko, Nolan and Seymour II, and their sister Nellie, all of whom are named after some of the beautiful waterways throughout BC. Chester is named for Chesterman Beach, Seymour for Seymour Narrows, Nolan for Nolan Point, Chilko for the Chilko River, and Nellie for Nels Bight. We're grateful to George for supporting this litter and picking these oar-some names (he's canoed or kayaked in all of the places these pups are named for, as well as many more). And a big thank you to Breeder-Caretaker, Tiff, for all of your care ❤️ #PADSPuppies [Five photos, each of a newborn lab puppy, with their name written in white text on a blue background in the lower left corner.]
