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.

Today, we'd like to extend our gratitude to our fr Today, we'd like to extend our gratitude to our friends at @honour.house for the support they give to our PTSD Service Dog program. Earlier this year, and for the second year in a row, our PTSD clients had the opportunity to gather together at Honour Ranch for the annual PADS PTSD Retreat. We're grateful they provided a safe space for our clients to build connections, access continued peer support, and strengthen the bond they each have with their service dog. #PTSDServiceDogs #PTSD [A man wearing a grey t-shirt sits next to his service dog.
