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.

Paw-tners in positivity 🐶 💛

PADS Link II was bursting with excitement to start his new job at the Chinook Child and Youth Advocacy Centre, and he’s been making an incredible impact. This social butterfly’s positive attitude and happy tail helps his new friends at the centre feel safe, and supports them through some of their toughest times.

Link’s partner, Baylee, says that his presence helps even the most anxious children feel at ease. “His goofy, calm personality makes every day a little brighter.”

Service Dogs in Training 🤝 Vet Technicians in Training

Texas and Ripto would like to use their very best puppy-eyes to say a big thank you to our friends in the Douglas College Vet Tech program for these awesome gifts. PADS is proud to partner with these students to help further their studies. Our pups spent the last semester visiting these students weekly to offer some hands on experience. Not only does this partnership help students practice what they're learning; it also offers our puppies useful socialization experience in being handled by different veterinary professionals.

Thank you, @douglascollege!
