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.

Inside every PADS dog beats the heart of a volunteer.

For Volunteer Appreciation week, we would like to take the time to thank all of our dedicated volunteers who make it possible for our clients to receive life-changing assistance dogs. Whether you clean kennels or do data entry, refine Advanced Dog skills or stay up at night with baby puppies, raise dogs or sit them - THANK YOU! Without you, there would be no PADS.

Thank you to everyone who came out to help with the BC Distilled Festival this past weekend, including our volunteers and their pups. We raised $5,500 to help PADS place more life-changing service dogs!

❤️ We would especially like to thank Alex, Katherine, and the BC Distilled Volunteers who worked so hard to make this event a success!

🍸 Thank you to the generous Distillers for contributing amazing items to our online auction, and to Elevate Auctions for making it all happen behind the scenes.

🐾 And of course a big shout out to all of our wonderful PADS volunteers. Whether you packaged silent auction items, sold 50/50 tickets, or made someone's day by introducing them to your pups, we're so glad that you were there!

For #TipTuesday we’re sharing some advice for good service dog etiquette! 🐾✨

If you encounter a service dog team while out with your pet pup, please keep a healthy distance between the dogs. 🤚

Although your pet pup may be well trained, an animal of any kind approaching an on-duty service dog can be a distraction. This can cause them to miss important cues from their client. 🚩

Be mindful and respect the space of the client and the service dog by keeping your distance.

Want to learn more about how to interact with a service dog team? We’ve got more to come!
Follow, like, and share to stay in the know!
