PADS Legends
Meet our “PADS Legends!” We know that each and every PADS Dog is a legend in their own way, providing life-changing support to their partner or community.
Our plush “Legends” are symbolic and represent many, many amazing dogs. The “Legends” initiative was designed to honour the spirit of each and every dog that has fulfilled our mission of changing lives, while providing ongoing funding for future generations of living, breathing PADS Legends.
This ongoing fundraising initiative launched in 2020 with three limited edition plush: Leahy, Macbeth and Caber (learn more about each of them below).
