30 Stories for 30 Years โ Nicole & Leroy
For me, it was a chance to meet someone who was volunteering their time raising a puppy, knowing they would be giving it up to help someone.
30 Stories for 30 Years โ Lindsey & Silky
At first, I thought I wanted to be an Education Assistant, because of how much I love being in the schools (Silky loves all the attention she gets from the kids, too!) After spending two years back at school myself, as a student, I realized how much more I can do to help other people in wheelchairs now that I have Silky by my side.
PADS is more than 90% volunteer-driven
We thrive off the passion of the people who have decided to join the PADS Family.
PADS currently runs volunteer programs in the BC Lower Mainland & Okanagan as well as in Calgary, AB., and isย a fully accredited member of Assistance Dogs International.
