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.

POV: you’re the Puppy Photographer 📸 Getting 8-week old puppies to sit still and look at the camera for their yellow vest photos takes skill (in the form of silly noises, puppy voice, and lots of kibble). #PADSBehindTheScenes Video description: a young black Lab puppy sits and tilts her head at the camera. The words “expectations vs…” show on the screen. The video then transitions into clips of young Lab puppies being coaxed into sitting and looking at the camera with the words “reality” overlaid on top.

It’s National Paramedic Services Week, and we’d like to extend our gratitude to all the paramedics and first responders (both human and canine) who help keep us safe and calm during some of our most vulnerable moments. We’re grateful to be able to provide Accredited Facility Dogs (like @padsorion_ii) to care for the wellness of those who care for us. #ThankYou #ParamedicServices Image descriptions: Image 1: PADS Orion II, a yellow Lab in a blue PADS vest, sits with his partner Grant, a paramedic, in front of a rescue helicopter. Image 2: PADS Orion II stands amongst paramedic supplies and looks seriously at the camera.

May is Leave a Legacy Month, and we’d like to again highlight the legacy of Team Vader’s mother, Rose. Witnessing firsthand the comfort and strength that PADS Vader brought to her daughter, Rose became a dedicated supporter of the PTSD Service Dog Program. To honour Rose and her unwavering support, Team Vader is generously matching donations made from now until National PTSD Awareness Day. Join us in celebrating Rose’s legacy, and give a gift that changes lives through our bio. #LeaveALegacy #TeamVader #PADSDogs Image description: A photo of Rose, wearing a purple shirt, sitting and smiling at the camera. Her daughter, Val, has her arm around her. Next to Rose is PADS Vader, a black Lab wearing a blue PADS vest. Below the photo is a blue box with white type that reads ‘Leave a legacy. Rose left a legacy of strong roots and gentle paws.

From puppy-raiser to dream team 😍 For Sequin’s partner, accepting that her hearing loss had got to the point where she needed help was hard. Realizing the incredible impact that an assistance dog can have, however, was easy. After witnessing this impact firsthand as a puppy raiser, she was matched with PADS Sequin as a client. She says of their match: “What I imagined hasn't been even close to what I am now experiencing with my sweet Sequin.” Sequin provides a sense of safety and the confidence to face a quieted world. “She has given me back a sense of independence that I had lost with my hearing, and for that, I will be forever grateful.” Read more of Team Sequin’s story through the link in our bio 🔗 #LifeInTheBlueVest #HearingDog Image descriptions: Image 1: PADS Sequin, a black Lab in a blue PADS vest, sits next to her partner, a woman wearing jeans and a leather jacket. Image 2: A portrait photo of PADS Sequin looking serenely up at the camera.

From the dog park to the pickleball court, this paddle celebrates fun and friendship fostered in the community. PADS Serrano embodies this design, working hard to support his community with his sweet demeanour and calming presence. He also knows when to bring the fun with his goofy playful side 🐶 A portion of sales from each of these limited edition paddles comes back to PADS, to help train more superheroes like Serrano.

The last of our spring litters have put on their yellow vests and ventured out on their puppy-raising journeys 💛 We're excited to watch these six puppies grow up into incredible dogs with the help of their new raisers. In Calgary, Doane and Shelby met Melanie and Moira, while Shyloh, Goose, and Grant met Lisa, Fred, and Andrea in the Okanagan. Harvey has met his new friends at Dogs with Wings. Thank you to the Doane Grant Thornton Foundation for your support of this litter, and to Sandra for your care during their first eight weeks 💛 #PADSPuppies #PuppyRaising Image descriptions: all images show a young Lab puppy sitting in the grass wearing a yellow PADS vest.
