ABOUT PADS

PADS dogs are raised and trained on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded lands of the Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Səl̓ílwətaʔ (Tsleil-Waututh), and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nations.

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.

It's #WishlistWednesday and we need your help!

We have two important accessibility projects underway - one in Calgary to renovate our new facility to make it accessible for our growing Alberta client base and another at the BC campus to repair/replace/reconfigure some ramps (that no longer meet code) as well as enclose our breeding center yard to keep our littlest pups safe and sound from the wildlife that shares our campus.

💙💙"Unleashing Accessibility" is a community-run fundraiser driven by our incredible #TeamCalgary to help support the larger renovation project where they've set a stupendous goal of $25K. Find the link in our bio or our stories to donate! 💙💙

💛💛 Our Burnaby accessibility improvements are all being built by our super-skilled volunteers (and are partially funded by Small Business BC's $5K accessibility grant) and we need to raise the remaining $7K to order our supplies. Donate and follow the progress of this campaign by clicking the link in our bio or stories 💛💛

Donate to one or both - or share this post - every little bit helps!!

Team Cashew has sent us an update, and we love how they are settling into life together!

Simon had this to say:
"Firstly, a huge thank you to every breeder, foster home, trainer, and volunteer that had a hand in Cashew's raising. It's an incredible achievement.

Cashew has transitioned into our lives with incredible awareness and sensitivity. Our old chocolate lab Chico (14 yrs) is now even learning some of Cashew's cues. We live in a semi-rural area, so much of his general skills training and public access stuff happens when we go into our hamlet of Sechelt to go shopping. Many stores now know him by name.

He has come to quite a few shows I've played at, loud venues, strange folks, sticky floors. He assumes his observance at my partner Kara's side in the audience, and comes to visit me by the stage between sets. His life with us has a lovely duality that he manages with grace and intelligence; Kara takes the dogs for walks daily, fun off-leash trail walks, whereas I feed and groom, and work on an array of skills almost daily. We've begun a ritual of using the retrieve sequence to get him to pick up all of his toys and put them (not always successfully) into the toy bin. He loves to snuggle in the evening and is a bundle of kisses in the morning.

I live with chronic pain and mobility issues and Cashew is quick to comfort me when I'm having a bad spell. Things this past month have been a bit different since my neck issue, but before that Cashew and I were going into town regularly as he was my copilot for all errands. I couldn't love him any more."

Inside every PADS dog beats the heart of a volunteer.

For Volunteer Appreciation week, we would like to take the time to thank all of our dedicated volunteers who make it possible for our clients to receive life-changing assistance dogs. Whether you clean kennels or do data entry, refine Advanced Dog skills or stay up at night with baby puppies, raise dogs or sit them - THANK YOU! Without you, there would be no PADS.
