MORE FUTURE SUPERHEROES!
Last week PADS welcomed 28 tiny superheroes to our community, but their arrivals were not without challenges.
In a New Light
We are honoured and overwhelmed to finally get to share this film with our community. It documents the journey of our client Juliet Walden and PADS PTSD Service Dog Stark. This STORYHIVE Documentary was produced by our dear friends, the incredibly talented Mack Stannard and Maddy Chang…
Meet PADS Tetley
This week PADS Tetley joined our community. Her naming sponsor, Jessica Ferrari, is one of our dedicated volunteers. Jessica shares her volunteer journey thus far with PADS, and how little Tetley got her name.
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 is a fully accredited member of Assistance Dogs International.
