PUPPY SPONSORSHIP
Support a Life-Changing Journey
At any given time, PADS is raising and training over 100 puppies to become life-changing Assistance Dogs. Each dog requires veterinary care, specialized training, and daily support, adding up to $35,000 per dog. These dogs are placed at no cost to clients, thanks to generous donors like you.
By sponsoring a puppy through our Scholarship & Bursary Program, you’re not just giving a gift, you’re investing in independence, dignity, and possibility. Whether you support a dog at the beginning, middle, or end of its journey, your impact is profound.
Your support makes transformation possible.
