ABOUT PADS

PADS dogs are raised and trained on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded lands of the Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Səl̓ílwətaʔ (Tsleil-Waututh), xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Ktunaxa ɁamakɁis (Ktunaxa), Ĩyãħé Nakón mąkóce (Stoney), Niitsítpiis-stahkoii ᖹᐟᒧᐧᐨᑯᐧ ᓴᐦᖾᐟ (Blackfoot / Niitsítapi ᖹᐟᒧᐧᒣᑯ), Tsuut’ina & Michif Piyii (Métis) Nations, and the Syilx Okanagan People.

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.

Everyone say hello to Pixel, the latest piece of t Everyone say hello to Pixel, the latest piece of the PADS picture 🖼️ PADS Pixel II comes to us from @bcandalbertaguidedogs as part of the ADI International Breeding Cooperative. He's being raised in the Lower Mainland. We can't wait to see where his puppy-raising journey takes him! A big thank you to our friends at @creativepixelmedia for supporting this little guy and for picking his pixel-perfect name 💛 #PADSPuppies [PADS Pixel II, a young black Lab wearing a yellow PADS vest, sits in a grassy area and looks calmly at the camera.

Team Triton are shining after being matched togeth Team Triton are shining after being matched together last year ✨ PADS Triton bounded into Daniel's life, bringing with him his goofy personality and life-changing skills. "I had no idea, at the time, how truly profound the positive impact would be on my life," Daniel reflects. Triton was trained to assist with everyday tasks, from opening doors and retrieving items to helping put on and take off shoes. But Triton's tasks are just part of what makes this dog so amazing. Triton's playful personality reminds Daniel to begin each day with play and gratitude. "He brings me so much joy," they say. Read the whole story, in Daniel's own words, through the link in our bio 🔗 #AssistanceDog #ServiceDog [Daniel, a person wearing an orange shirt and a ribbon skirt, sit in a wheelchair. Beside them lays their service dog, PADS Triton, a yellow Lab in a blue PADS vest. Both look happily up at the camera.]
