Service Dogs in Training 🤝 Vet Technicians in Training

Texas and Ripto would like to use their very best puppy-eyes to say a big thank you to our friends in the Douglas College Vet Tech program for these awesome gifts. PADS is proud to partner with these students to help further their studies. Our pups spent the last semester visiting these students weekly to offer some hands on experience. Not only does this partnership help students practice what they're learning; it also offers our puppies useful socialization experience in being handled by different veterinary professionals.

Thank you, @douglascollege!

June 27 is National PTSD Awareness Day. Living with PTSD comes with many challenges, and today is a reminder to show compassion to those who may be struggling, and raise awareness on how we all can work towards breaking the stigma.

We’re proud to support the healing of first responders and veterans living with PTSD through our PTSD Dog Program 🐶

Incredible dogs like Vader are trained to work with their partner to interrupt physical symptoms of stress, and to provide a calm, grounding presence in overwhelming environments.

You can help us raise and train more life-changing PTSD dogs! Give a gift today through the link in our bio, and help inspire hope for a future full of possibilities☀️
