Honoured to be serving those who’ve served
The Invictus Games are more than just a sporting eventโtheyโre a celebration of resilience, courage, and the unbreakable human spirit. Bringing together wounded, injured, and sick service personnel from around the world, the Games provide a life-changing experience rooted in the healing power of sport. The word Invictus means โunconquered,โ perfectly capturing the determination and triumph of its competitors.
This year, the Pacific Assistance Dogs Society (PADS) is honoured to be a friend of the 2025 Invictus Games, PADS plays a vital role in supporting competitors and their service dogs through our Canine Psychosocial team, canine first aid team, and service dog handlers. Guests of the games can also visit our puppies-in-training at the Boeing Puppy Puddle.
The beginning of a legacy
PADS’ participation at the 2025 Games is just the start of this incredible partnership. Thanks to the generosity of Invictus Games Whistler Vancouver 2025, and their presenting partner, Boeing, a future litter of PADS puppies will be dedicated to the games and be supported in becoming life-changing service dogs.
Now that the Games have concluded, you can continue the legacy by supporting PADSโ current programs and helping us raise and train the next generation of life-changing dogs.
