Welcome a puppy into your home and your life for approximately 18 mos. Raising a PADS puppy means having a furry companion by your side at work, school, the grocery store and wherever else you may go in a day.
GIVE A DOG
Our supporters and sponsors help in a variety of ways, from helping to feed our puppies, building awareness or raising much needed funds for training. Would you like to get involved with supporting PADS? Contact our Okanagan Team today for more information.
