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 Camilo is making a splash on Vancouver Island 🌊

PADS Camilo has been spreading his ‘Milo’ magic as part of the Victim Services team in Port Alberni, Tofino, and Ucluelet. His partner reports that he steals the show at community presentations, and his ability to attune his demeanour based on each situation he faces is astounding. His supportive nature has impacted so many, and we’re incredibly proud.

She doesn’t know it yet, but this puppy could grow up to change the life of a person living with PTSD 🐶

June is PTSD Awareness month. Since 2018, we’ve been raising and training dogs to support first responders and veterans through our PTSD program. These dogs are trained to pick up on early signals of stress and anxiety, and interrupt these symptoms before they escalate. Our clients often report how much their world opens up once they have a PADS partner by their side.

We’re proud to help remove barriers for people living with PTSD, and to continue to break down the stigma around mental health.

If you’d like to learn more and help support the PTSD program, head to the link in our bio.

#PTSDAwareness #DogsWithJobs

Video description: a slowed-down video of an eight-week-old yellow lab puppy wearing a yellow PADS vest sitting outside on some steps and looking around at the world. The words ‘she doesn’t know it yet, but she could grow up to change the life of a person living with PTSD’ appear over top of the video.
