PTSD SERVICE DOGS
Life-changing PTSD Dogs
PADS PTSD Service Dogs assist veterans and first responders with PTSD and C-PTSD. These dogs are selected for their awareness and positive response to human emotions such as stress, anxiety, and fear. PADS PTSD dogs can facilitate wellness and social re-integration, and are trained to help calm and ground their partner, interrupt nightmares, and act to add distance when other people get too close.
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
PADS PTSD Dogs are placed with veterans and first responders (police, fire, paramedic or military; active duty or retired) across Western Canada. Applicants must have a diagnosis of PTSD or C-PTSD.
