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.

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. In the lower left of the image is a blue box with the puppy's name in white font.

Taking a walk on the wild side 🐶🌲   Our West Coast Advanced Dogs visited Capilano Suspension Bridge recently for some natural thrills and amazing training opportunities. These brave dogs remained composed and engaged as they experienced uneven surfaces, new textures and heights (if you know the Cliffwalk, you know). Thanks @capilanosuspensionbridge for having us!   Video description: Six Labs in yellow PADS vests visit Capilano Suspension Bridge Park with their trainers. The video shows various clips of the dogs in various areas of the park.   #ExploreVancouver #DogFriendlyVancouver

NEWS | The puppies of the @whitecapsfc litter have been promoted to the Service Dog Development Squad (a.k.a. Puppy Raising) ⚽🐶 Last week, these nine pups donned their uniforms for the first time and met their new raisers. Blanco, Gaffer, Goaldie, Max and T-Bone met Annika, Sophie, James and Joanne & Russell. Tide travelled to the Okanagan to meet Elaine, while Tattor travelled to Calgary where she met Lindsay. The team also made two trades - Sammy has been traded to our friends at @cnibguidedogs, while Boomer has joined our friends at @dogs_with_wings. We can't wait to share the team's progress as they train their way to the big league - becoming fully-certified life-changing assistance dogs. #VWFC #DogsWithJobs #padspuppies Image descriptions: each image shows a young lab puppy in a yellow PADS vest, with their name in white on a blue background. Image 1: PADS Blanco, a yellow Lab Image 2: PADS Boomer, a yellow Lab Image 3: PADS Gaffer, a yellow Lab Image 4: PADS Goaldie, a dark yellow Lab Image 5: PADS Max, a black Lab Image 6: PADS Sammy, a black Lab Image 7: PADS T-Bone, a yellow Lab Image 8: PADS Tattor, a yellow Lab Image 9: PADS Tide, a black Lab

As Canadian Mental Health Week continues, we’re proud to announce our latest fundraising campaign in support of our PTSD Service Dog Program - Strong Roots, Gentle Paws. This campaign is inspired by Team Vader. Val spent a long and dedicated career with the RCMP before being diagnosed with PTSD and matched with PADS Vader. Vader's steady, grounding presence softens Val's edges as he walks with her through each day. His impact also reaches prospective PADS PTSD clients, as he offers comfort and reassurance. Team Vader dedicates this campaign to Val’s mother, Rose, who witnessed the impact that Vader makes in countless people’s lives. Rose was a quiet yet passionate supporter of the PTSD Program at PADS. To honour her legacy of support, Val is generously matching all donations (up to $20K) made until National PTSD Awareness Day on June 27, 2025. With Val's support, your gift will go twice as far. Give today through the link in our bio to help nurture strong roots, gentle paws, and a future full of possibility for people living with PTSD. #PTSDAwareness #DogsWithJobs Image descriptions: Image 1: Val, a person in a white top and blue jeans stands on a beach and looks out at the ocean. She holds an RCMP Red Serge tunic over her shoulder. To her side is PADS Vader, a black Lab wearing a blue PADS vest. Vader looks intently up at his partner. Image 2: On a beach, an RCMP Red Serge uniform is placed neatly on a rock in the foreground of the photo. In the background, Val and PADS Vader walk away from the camera, leaving the uniform behind.

Today marks the start of Mental Health Week, supported by the Canadian Mental Health Association. This year, we’re encouraged to look beyond the surface, embrace vulnerability, and see each other as whole people. PADS is proud to train Accredited Facility Dogs like PADS Pyxis, and partner them with community care professionals like Dana who encourage folks to open up in safe and supportive environments. Together, @padspyxisanddana are able to connect with vulnerable students and their families and build meaningful relationships. They foster trust, and encourage the exploration and practice of healthy coping skills. We’re so grateful to be able to train life-changing dogs like Pyxis, and provide these services to those who need them. #UnmaskingMentalHealth #PADSDogs Image description: Dana, a person with short hair and glasses, and PADS Pyxis, a black Lab in a blue PADS vest, sit together on stairs painted in the colours of the rainbow.
