Falkor | October 2025

Saturday, November 1, 2025 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

Hi, Everyone! Well, my second Halloween has come & gone. Darn, because I was really into all the spooky decor. But that’s okay. There are still plenty of pumpkins to perch on and wet leaves to snuffle. Besides, did you see?! Home Depot has already switched out the...

Skaha III | October 2025

Saturday, November 1, 2025 | Okanagan, Pupdates

Hey everyone, it’s me, Skaha, your favourite Labrador Retriever and Pacific Assistance Dog in training, checking in with my 13-month update. This month started like last month ended, with my raisers being away, so I was off enjoying time with one of PADS wonderful...

Chet | October 2025

Saturday, November 1, 2025 | Calgary, Pupdates

SNOW! I love snow. And it snowed in October… before Halloween! How lucky am I? While others in my house were not as happy with this turn in the weather, I absolutely love the snow. It was a fun month – I have been out and about in public a bit more as...

Mabel II | October 2025

Saturday, November 1, 2025 | Calgary, Pupdates

Hello friends! Happy Halloween! Welcome to our monthly get-together! For the first half of the month, I’ve been doing an amazing job going to classes and settling into the university! I have also continued walking around stores and settling in cafes and restaurants! I...

Donora | September 2025

Wednesday, October 1, 2025 | Okanagan, Pupdates

Although Donora is learning more cues, I think she is going through her teenage stage as she seems to have forgotten that she needs to keep all four feet on the ground when greeting strangers! She is also very enthusiastic when greeting other pups… and is...

Arthur | September 2025

Wednesday, October 1, 2025 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

Arthur had a great September. He enjoyed walks in White Rock, a great dog park that is not too busy, so that he could get his zoomies out. And he had a great sit with Jo and did many wonderful, fun things. He also had amazing play dates with other pups. Submitted...

Mozza | September 2025

Wednesday, October 1, 2025 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

It is hard to believe that Mozza is already 14 months old! We think she might have reached full growth now, and she’s 50 lbs. Her favourite command this month has been “Go in”. We practice it daily with her, and she’s trying hard to stay in...

Ripto | September 2025

Wednesday, October 1, 2025 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

I’ve discovered I like to swim! We went for walks and swims along the dykes. I went to Douglas College Coquitlam to help the vet nurse students practice their handling – they loved me, but, you know, what’s not to love? Although I did speak my mind...

Hunter II | September 2025

Wednesday, October 1, 2025 | Calgary, Pupdates

Hello, lovely people, My month was a bit different than usual. I jumped around between my raisers’ houses a bit more since one of them got sick and had to go to the hospital. She is all better, and I got to stay with her at home for a whole week while she...

Lumina | September 2025

Wednesday, October 1, 2025 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

Still here. I guess I’m one of the lucky ones to be able to stay with my raisers for this long. Maybe it’s because I’m late in getting my heat. I think my family wants me to have as much fun now as I can before I can’t. It’s been quite a busy month. I went with my...

Buddy II | September 2025

Wednesday, October 1, 2025 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

Hi everypawty! I’m feeling so much better after my procedure—my hoomans say I’m back to my silly, tail-waggin’ self again, so that must mean I’m A-OK! They also mentioned something called “fall” is coming soon… I don’t know what that means yet, but I did see them put...

Tay | September 2025

Wednesday, October 1, 2025 | Advanced Dogs, Lower Mainland, Pupdates

This month, Tay continues her journey as a Hearing Dog. She loves sounds and is very eager to learn and do her best. Tay recently attended a Canucks game at the Abbotsford Centre with her trainer and did a great job! She worked hard to ignore the floor prizes and...

Pandora | September 2025

Wednesday, October 1, 2025 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

Hi everyone! This month was all about school, school, and more school! I started attending Douglas College with my raiser, and I’ve been absolutely rocking my settling skills. I’m such a good girl in the classroom! When I’m not busy soaking up everything there is to...

Ritz | September 2025

Wednesday, October 1, 2025 | Lower Mainland, Pupdates

Ritz reporting. I’m 6 months old now and am told that summer is coming to an end. We have a routine of daily walks and occasionally meet up with another PADS dog for a walk. I have to keep my distance and not distract the other dog. One day, I met my trainer for a...
