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.

Team Triton are shining after being matched togeth

Team Triton are shining after being matched together last year ✨

PADS Triton bounded into Daniel's life, bringing with him his goofy personality and life-changing skills. "I had no idea, at the time, how truly profound the positive impact would be on my life," Daniel reflects.

Triton was trained to assist with everyday tasks, from opening doors and retrieving items to helping put on and take off shoes. But Triton's tasks are just part of what makes this dog so amazing. Triton's playful personality reminds Daniel to begin each day with play and gratitude. "He brings me so much joy," they say.

Read the whole story, in Daniel's own words, through the link in our bio 🔗

AFD Fiddle’s presence is warming Winnipeg’s winter

AFD Fiddle’s presence is warming Winnipeg’s winters for students at Transcona Collegiate 🐶❄️

PADS Fiddle’s warm heart (and cozy sweater) brightens even the chilliest of days as she roams the halls of Transcona Collegiate. As the school’s new Accredited Facility dog, Fiddle’s job is to bring joy, comfort, and connection to students and staff. And she’s a natural.

Her partner, Anita, reports: “Fiddle is more than a PADS dog; she is a friend, a teacher, and a source of happiness for everyone.” Fiddle welcomes new pupils to the school, comforts students and staff during difficult conversations, and provides a calming presence during times of stress.

“We truly cannot imagine our school without her,” says Anita. Read Fiddle's whole story through the link in our bio.
