Falkor is being raised and trained to provide life-changing independence to someone with a physical disability other than visual impairment or to work with a professional such as a teacher, psychologist or victim services worker to help support a healthy community.

In January, 2026, the decision was made to send Falkor to BC & Alberta Guide Dogs (BCGD), a fellow ADI accredited organization, to work through their training program.  BC & Alberta Guide Dogs are located in Delta, BC, and train both guide and service dogs.

It truly takes a village to raise a puppy and you can be part of the PADS village — donations raised through this page support the care and training of healthy, happy puppies. Help support PADS today.
