Expression of Interest

• Please complete the form as honestly and fully as you can for your needs as of today. If your needs change in future, you may send an update to the email address we give you in the confirmation email.
• This is not an application or a guarantee that you will qualify for or receive a PADS dog.
• This does not put you on the PADS wait list, it does however put you in line to receive an application package when we feel we will have a dog for you within a reasonable time frame (6-18 mos).
• Questions regarding the expression of interest will be answered via email (to the email address we give you in the confirmation email).

“Where am I in line?”

• We cannot answer this question, as the list is not first come first serve.  So many factors affect the answer to this including your needs, dog supply, types of dogs coming through training (their strengths/weaknesses, etc)
• We also cannot give estimates as to the length of time before you will be sent an application form.
