Even in her whelping home "Zivy The Adventurer" se

Even in her whelping home "Zivy The Adventurer" seemed to always take center stage whenever possible. Zivy enjoys learning new things and going on new adventures. Her newest adventure is life as a PADS VIP (Very Important Pet) and we think it's her favourite adventure yet!⁠⠀
PADS VIP's are well-trained dogs that are placed as pets with children or adults with disabilities. While these dogs decided that being a certified service dog was not the right fit, they are matched with someone who can benefit from their companionship and love.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Thank you to everyone on #teamzivy for all they have done to make this match possible.⁠⠀

The Handsome Hammond was raised and trained in Calgary and is now proud to announce that he is a PADS 2020 Grad and our next #dogoftheday!

Hammond is currently out in the world helping his client gain more independence as he opens doors, picks up dropped items and so so much more! ⁠⠀
